Where I WANT Complacency

Oh, hey there!:)

I'm kind of liking seeing the sun in the early mornings again, though I know it won't last for too terribly long.

What's going on at school, you ask?

My Kindergarten through eighth grade students are doing the PLANKSG+IVING CHALLENGE!  The Kinders think it's a riot when I count to the time limit in silly voices.  I am such an elementary school teacher.

My fifth/sixth graders got a lesson in GOLD STARS.  To get them engaged in our discussion on Fitness components, I gave one person a gold star to hold on their forehead for answering a question correctly.  When another student answered another question correctly, they got the star.  They kind of loved it.:)

I'm very fortunate, completely thankful and happy to have an amazing Principal.  On top of being a very understanding, loyal, caring, and giving lady, she is one that will HAND-WRITE thank-you notes to their staff:)

We're now at the portion of the bloggie where we get serious  ---------> THE WORD.

As you all know (or should know -- I've complained enough about it!), this summer left me in quite a pickle.  I felt like I went into a training slump in late July, and haven't really felt like I've bounced out of it.  I have felt like if I sign up for a race that it'll wake me up and I'll spring right back into a training bamf, but it hasn't really happened.

I have a longing for a true sense complacency as of late.  I haven't had that terrific sense of satisfaction when it comes to racing, running or tri.  Harry got onto me the other night (in the most supportive moment of our marriage to date) for not really going all out in training for a while, for negative talk, for a lot of things that aren't like me.  I feel like I've just been mailing it in with several things, and I've shared this before on the blog, when it comes to training and even stuff around the home and some things at work.  I'm still working on that balance, but I'm starting to get the fire under my butt for training.  My level of complacency is about to get a major boost, and rightfully so -- I've got PRs to make.

As for work and home, I believe that those things are coming into place just fine. In fact, the only place where I feel complacent in my life is my relationship with my husband, with my family and friends.  That's better than nothing.:)

This Wednesday Word comes at a great time for me as my perspective is ready to change.  Thanks, Deb!

Back to your regularly scheduled goofy bloggieness.

And um, about that.  Sometimes I am  GUILTY of things like this.  Not as much as I used to be, though.:)

Where in your life do you have a true sense of complacency?  Work?  Training?  Home?


Are you good at making plans with friends?  Do you kind of bail sometimes?  
-I don't think I'd ever bail on you.:)
