For the past five or so Tuesdays I have seen the same person during my morning run. Upon first glimpse of this figure running down the middle of the street I saw that he was wearing long basketball warm up pants, white V neck T-shirt and had long mid back length hair unbound flowing behind him and I thought I was seeing things. He sprinted by with such effortless strides and gave me a slight nod as he passed by. Am I really seeing this? The next Tuesday I saw him again, dressed the exact same way with hair still flowing. How can he be running in this heat like this? Another Tuesday later and there he was again….exactly the same way. And so on for weeks. Same stretch of road, same outfit, same gazelle like runner. I’ve never turned around to … Read entire article »

Off Subject: Life’s Bloopers

July 27th, 2010 | 5 Comments

I love bloopers! What is it about watching missteps, stumbles, or flubbing of words that can just crack you up? I’ve just been watching last night’s The Bachelorette Men Tell All which includes behind the scene mistakes. Reality TV bloopers are some of my favorites. They create the perfect blend of real life wrapped up in a production package. In my life I have had many bloopers most of which consist of saying absolutely the wrong thing. It’s like news anchors who say something so random because their mind wanders from the serious story. Hilarious! Check these out. Life can be so random. It can be brilliant one day and let’s be honest it can be crap the next. I recently read that we should guard what we allow our minds to dwell on because those thoughts run our lives. Today, I choose to think about all of life’s bloopers … Read entire article »

Thursday is my REST day from marathon training or any cross training activity. I think every body deserves at least one day of rest. Funny, thing is on my rest day I tend to be a bit of a Cranky Face. Do you experience this too? While reading the dailies, I found the following 2 post that I wanted to offer as a Shout Out Should Read: Teri & Lauren Although each subject is completely different they are both very thought provoking issues. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Do you have certain words or phrases that you use so often that they almost define you? According to family and friend I guess I have a few. Today at the Chiropractor I was trying to explain why my ankle was in … Read entire article »

Off subject: You-nique

May 26th, 2010 | 3 Comments

Not to long ago on a long run left alone with my thoughts I was thinking about a devotional that I had read recently. The world teaches us that we can do or be anything as long as we work hard at it or train for it. I thought this way too, but is this really true? What if your “dream” job, hobby or whatever your life choice is not what was intended for you? Can you ever be truly successful or happy in that choice or possess the pure talent to perform the tasks required if it was not what you were designed to do or be? I believe each of us has been created for a specific purpose. That there was a divine plan set in motion for our lives, … Read entire article »
