My parents made it safely here. It took a little longer than I thought at immigrations. We got home, had some food and talked. Now I am off to bed. ~~***~~ Meine Eltern kamen gesund und munter an. Die Einreise hat länger gedauert als ich gedacht habe. Die Fahrt heim war ereignislos, daheim hatten wir etwas zu essen und haben uns unterhalten. Jetzt geh ich schlafen.

re-visiting the february goals
At the beginning of February I wrote my February goals during the Do Life Challenge. Now it is time to look back and see how it goes. I know there is one more day in February but tomorrow I will be busy. So I do it today.   Continue running. Start a new training plan. I want to be able to run a 15K on March 3rd. Right now my longest run is 4 miles. A 15K is 9.3 miles. That is a 5.2 miles more...

Do Life Challenge - week 9
Ok, I just got time to go to the Do Life Forum and read about this weeks challenge. I hope I can keep up with it. I am still not back to 100%, I am still coughing but feeling much better than last week. Go back to Day One: New Year, and pull out your assessments. Where were you and where did you want to be? At the beginning of the year I was newly motivated (it’s a new year, right?) and...

Feeling better
Ok, I feel so much better but I am still not totally ok. Wednesday to Friday last week I spent in bed. Coughing, sweating, feverish, drinking tea, sleeping most of the time. Just plain feeling sick. Thursday I went to the Doc and got a bunch of meds. They helped and I was able to go to my Healing Touch level 3 class this weekend. I am so, so happy that I could go. I waited over a year for this...

Do Life Challenge - week 8
And since I was late with the week 7 recap, I am also late with the start to week 8. I love Ben’s idea of the challenges everybody can submit to the forum. I can’t wait to read more of them and see which one I will pick. And of course I will post them here when I know which one I will do.

Do Life Challenge - week 7 - recap
I know, I know. I am late. Way to late with this recap but I didn’t get it done earlier. And I could write two words that would sum up this weeks challenge: I sucked. My eating was bad. I didn’t get to try out new foods. I couldn’t even figure out what kind of foods I could try. I didn’t count calories and ate way to much crap. Drank to less water as well. I didn’t...

One more thing and then I am off to my volunteering. I started the 21 Day Meditation Challenge from the Chopra Center yesterday. You go online and get a mediation a day. I failed to do the last challenge (I just made it to day 10, I think) but I hope to finish this one. If you interested go over to www.chopracentermeditation.com and sign up. You still can start today.

MIA
I have been MIA the last few days. My husband had a day off and we spent some time together. I was busy doing stuff at the house and for some reason I didn’t feel like doing a lot of stuff at my computer. I hope I will be back soon. I still own you the week 7 recap and the start of week 8 from the Do Life Challenge.

4 Good Things 01/18/2012
Do Life Challenge - week 7 Write down four things you did well today. I ran 2 miles before my 5K. In the 5K I managed to run a new PR. Beat the old one by 7 seconds. Went out to a FB meet-up of german people here in the area. Nice way to meet new people. Still can feel the soreness in my legs but I am way to happy with my PR to really complain about it. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow...

Do Life Challenge - week 7 Write down four things you did well today. I packed all my stuff for my 5K tomorrow. I worked on my iPhoto library. I gave a healing touch session. Had a nice dinner with my husband. I gave my legs a rest day for tomorrows race. I signed up for the 5K but my training plan says to run 5 miles. I can either do them before or after the race - not sure yet how I will...

Do Life Challenge - week 7 Write down four things you did well today. I meet with a friend and we had ice cream together. I got a piggybank for a great price. Been looking at this one for awhile now. Had a great meditation tonight. Loved that I had time to read a bit. 0 minutes done, 180 to go. Total to do: 180 minutes.
