I am coming to the conclusion that the Catalina Marathon will be easier for me than writing the 1000 to 1500 word essay for the Mothering Heights "Mother's Day Essay Contest: What do you know now that you wish you had known before you became a parent?" Am I crazy? 26.2 miles will be easier for me to run than to find a way to come up with an essay of 1000 to 1500 words that is worth publishing in a book? Yep, that is the way I feel! As I was training today, doing hill repeats ( and I dread those), I was trying to narrow down my topics for the essay contest and instead of narrowing down my topics, I came up with more ideas! Having four children and almost twelve years of parenting I have an abundance of material. This is my big problem: why can't I just focus on one topic? I have the ability to focus on conquering twenty-six miles, but a hundred topics? How am I going to do that?
