Sometimes biting off more than you can chew is a good thing

So I abandoned this blog for a couple of months. In all honesty, I started it because I thought it would be fun to keep track of my running and my fitness and hopefully my art at some point. But then it became too much, so I took a step back. I'm a firm believer in if something begins to feel like work, you should really take a step back and evaluate how important it is to you. This blog is important to me, but less important than maybe some other things. I am very lucky to go to such an amazing school but sometimes I feel like the bar is set at an impossibly high standard. I would be surprised to here that there are many other schools with as many students as I know that balance an internship, a job, and twenty credits.
I started an amazing internship at Erica Sara Designs, where I am doing social media and some graphic design. It is just AWESOME getting to work with other runners. I am realizing that I can love running and love graphic design, which is a subject I have struggled with for some time.
I'm also training for the Flying Pig Half Marathon in  one week and learning how to sew. So, okay, maybe I hold myself to a very high standard. I understand that no one is forcing me to do any of these things, I'm taking it all on myself. And that's good, one of my goals for this year was to be more brave, so I'm being more brave. And while maybe I've bit off a wee bit more than I can chew, I feel like I can successfully say that I am starting to finally get a grip on things.
