Today, I Run
Today, I Run

Today, I run.

I run for health. For that calm alertness to follow.  Sometimes it ‘s controlled, deliberate and precise. Other days, done with abandon — the clock be damned! Just go! Push!  Whatever comes, I will be high all day. Work and conversation smoother, food tastier, slumber a bit sweeter. Its own reward.

I run because that is the time to simply be. Time when there is no room to lament  the past; no time to worry about the future. No time to call or sit or text or e-mail. This is the time, my time, to move, to breathe, to strive. To struggle. To count, tally, record. To embrace the gift of being.

To send that primitive message to the mind: That we moved today. We wandered, pursued, hunted. We were chased, maybe. And we survived. Like those before us, who made us, who are us. We ran.

And we might need to be just a little faster, go a little farther tomorrow. So, make sure we’re ready. Adapt. Make us go faster, farther.

So tomorrow, I run.

 
 
Seen a lot of slim chicks posting their

workouts on here so I thought I'd join 

the fun
Warning : I will bully every one of you

into daily stretches, plyo drills, crazy 

intervals, lifting heavy weights and 

epic long runs
104 °F.....  As my Grandma says, 

"Marathon training ain't for p*ssies."



Crazy old lady is right.

Just so you're aware... Between  mile 20 and 26.2 I start to use the word "F**k" like it's a comma.

Santa baby, just slip a Garmin under  the tree for me; been an awful  good girl, Santa baby, a pair of  running shoes too, light blue;  Santa baby, I want a PR...  and really that's not a lot...  So hurry down the  chimney tonight!

Runner on essential oils: This run stinks... but at least I smell like a field of lavender.
The bad news is I have 10 more miles... the good news is I smell like rose essential oil.
It's all about balance: essential oils here, run for your life there, down a bottle of wine post-race celebration!
