Most everyone I know that runs will tell you that this is how you feel on some runs. I love Running, I Hate Running; I think the thought comes at different times for different runners, but I think it always comes. During the month of May I have run more days than any other month… Continue reading All is fair in Love and Running

Oh, the Humanity!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/25/balpreet-kaur-sikh-woman-proudly-sports-facial-hair-faith_n_1913355.html Sometimes my faith in humanity needs to be restored. This story helped today. My posts are usually about me, my journey, my running, etc. I do not usually share stuff from the internet because chances are that if I found it you have already read it; but this story bears sharing and repeating. Someone… Continue reading Oh, the Humanity!
Anticipation…
I do not like anticipation, waiting, surprises; I am a person of action and these things make me crazy. If I had to pick a weakness this would be it, I am not good at waiting. I was the kid digging through my parent’s closet weeks before Christmas, and I am the person who hates… Continue reading Anticipation…
What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
We took a day off; although my day was not quite as full as Ferris's it was still a good day. Fridays are my rest day in my training program and since this is my first week of training I decided to do it right and took a vacation day from work. I did not… Continue reading What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
A bad run is still better than…
On Tuesday I started my training for a half marathon I am running in September. Today was my second training run and it was not a good run. I had to go into work early for a meeting so I ran about an hour earlier than I normally would run and I did not go… Continue reading A bad run is still better than…
And so it begins…
Officially started my training today for my next half; I am running the Rock n Roll Half in Philadelphia in September and I am pretty excited to be going back home to run a race. I have promises from friends in the area to be my Wine Girls, waiting for me at the finish line… Continue reading And so it begins…
Do or Do Not…..
I have this sign hanging near my back door, I have had this sign hanging somewhere in my house for the past several years. I look at it often and sometimes it really stops me in my tracks and makes me ponder the question. What would I do if I knew I could not fail?… Continue reading Do or Do Not…..
How far will you go?
I have been thinking for the past day about how far I am willing to go with my running. This past weekend two women that I know participated in long distance events; one in an Ironman and the other in her first marathon. I can tell you now that an Ironman will not happen… Continue reading How far will you go?
Carry On
Well, it has been a little over a month since my last post and it has been a month which carried a lot of sadness. On April 12, 2013 the world lost a strong and loving woman, on this date my mother passed away after a period of extended illness; my world will never be… Continue reading Carry On
Altruism and Grace
I am going to forego my running updates (well at least in part, I will mention it in the end), to discuss giving and forgiving. I had a situation this weekend where at some point I said to someone "Take off the saint hat, it does not fit". It was certainly a mean thing to… Continue reading Altruism and Grace
