RAGNAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Van leaves at 4 am tomorrow morning!! I am a bit excited/nervous/anxious/all of the above and then some!! As I have never ran Ragnar before, so this will definitely be a new experience for me. Not that I am not a strong runner or an experienced one, I think I a little of each, yet I am hoping to not let my team down.
Send positives vibes to all of us out there running!!
Till I report again !!
Push on dearest readers, push on!!

August 13th, 2011
After some self examination, a 5K PR ( 25:19 ), and some crabbiness and tired body parts, its time for a much needed break.
I am not able to get excited about my times.
I am not able to get to sleep at night.
I am not eating ( where I should be consuming enough to feed a horse ).
I am crabby and snapping.
I am now over-training.
Its' time for a break.
I have Ragnar coming up and I do not want to disappoint those that are running it. So, for them and for myself, I am going to give up the exercise/running until at least Wed of next week.
The temple is the body. One needs to keep it in balance. The balance is off, feed the correct side to balance it out. Time for some sunshine to shine in and allow the clouds to vanish.
Pushing it is a good thing, OVER doing it is NOT!!
Goodnight dearest friends!!

August 4th, 2011 ( NEW LIFE!! )
A new life.
That's what I have today. A new life compared to a decade ago. A decade ago, I was married and very excited to look a new way of life with a husband, purchasing our own home and beginning a new life.
Today -- I am divorced, with two children and only own one vehicle and a few items in our home. Yet I am the happiest I have been in over 2 decades!! I am not only the happiest, I am also the healthiest I have ever been in my ENTIRE life of 35 yrs here on this earth.
Yesterday I was able to run with some of the neatest people I have been able to meet and get to know over the past few years. We all were at the track, pushing ourselves to our own limits and still smiling knowing that all that sweat and fatigued was well worth it and will all be well utilized in our upcoming races !!
My daughter asked me today -- why do all your friends run, mom?? Simple, I said: I chose them as my friends. I had to start over around 3 yrs ago, new friends, new playgrounds an so I chose running friends. Now I have a few that are super close, and I am learning a completely new way of life!! A new way that has impacted not only myself, my children, but also some of my very close friends!!
Life is GREAT today!!! Sure there are some bumps, yet, NOTHING - absolutely NOTHING that will not be faced and taken care of in a mature, responsible, productive way !!
