SBN Terri: Driven, Disciplined, Determined

These are adjectives I'd like to say apply to me - but these words really describe my husband, Richard.  We have been on "vacation" in Kauai ...for him that means running on the beach and the trail on Sleeping Giant.  We set a goal of recording 100 miles on the running app on my phone.  We reached that goal today.  An average of 8.5 miles a day since we arrived.   I have been hampered by that pesky back problem and sciatica, so I have not done every mile he has, but then again there have been times I've put on miles he hasn't.  He has encouraged me to keep going - he hasn't let me be a slacker.  The deep dry sand adds to the challenge, the steep rocky path offers elements of balance and strength - both have been very good cardio.  With different climatic conditions changes the challenges - rain created torrents of slippery clayey mud, tides are constantly changing the beach.  Sometimes I have felt awful and experienced relentless pain ...but then sometimes I feel on top of the world - having finished the trail run faster than ever before.  Swimming has been such a relief and reward.  I'm feeling better and looking forward to returning to Reno and my training at 360 Martial Arts.  I want to give my husband recognition for his support and, encouragement and being a role model of what it means to be driven, disciplined and determined.
