Starting Small!

I decided yesterday I am not very good at starting small!
I know that may sound strange, but in all honesty I tend to jump into things that end up being bigger than i expected them to be.

Take moving here for example. Most people would start smaller, maybe leave for 6 months or less or go to school where they can come home during reading break and christmas break. BUT ME? I leave for 8 months all by myself to a country where I can't speak the language and have to take care of kids who don't understand me, and then I go straight to another strange country where I will learn! and hopefully not be homesick like I am here.

Another example of my starting out bigger than I want is running. I tend to overdo it on the first go. Yesterday I was feeling sad but didn' t want to be sad so i decided i'd go for a run because it was not too hot and there was just a rain storm so it was beautifull outside. And it was nice and windy and fresh! So i just went without really planning my route. I planned on doing a 6-8 km route in the countryside becuase there are tons of bike and jogging paths that are so so beatifull. So once I had been running for 6km... and getting a little lost I asked someone how to get back to voorschoten (my town) and they pointed me the way I came. So instead of finishing my loop with only about 3 more km... I had to run all the way back the way I came! more km;) so 6+6 = 12! wow. thats a lot to run for the first run in months! I even have a fairly good sized blister on my big toe... so I wont be running tonight. I'll try biking. You can make up more ground easier by bike!
