Just as the wind moves the sales on a windmill to produce energy, so can the winds of change move your thoughts to produce positive feelings that lead to higher levels of energy. The winds can swirl and change direct and yet the windmill keeps turning. Let the swirling and changes of direction keep you…

RSD #1,492 Just another day
Some days are routine, beginning with the run and then all that comes after. There is something to be said for the routine, the predictable, the comfortable ebb and flow of daily life. It is in the mundane and boring daily routine that the true magic lies. The compound effect of doing the right things…
RSD #1,491 Greenlights
I just started reading Greenlights by Matthew McConnaughey and am enjoying his colorful stories and writing style. He takes some deep soul searching journeys and provides some profound insight on life. I highly recommend you download and listen or buy the book. Deep thoughts for a Tuesday run! Run happy my friends!
RSD #1,490 Happy 4th of July
Today’s run was desert trails again and no rattlesnakes! (Yesterday two guys drove by and told me to watch out for a rattlesnake…so I went the opposite direction.) Looking forward to hanging by the pool and watching fireworks tonight. Happy 4th of July!
RSD #1,488 & #1,489 Holiday weekend
Fitting the run in where I can. Yesterday was back on the treadmill. Today was out on dirt trails through the desert with some cloud cover. It was a beautiful morning followed by a chai latte by the pool. Life is good!
RSD #1,487 Surprise speed
I wasn’t really feeling it this morning and thought I would just do a nice slow run to finish out the week. Turns out my body felt better than my brain (mentally just wiped out this week). Ran at an average 9:12 min/mi and the second and third mile average was under 9:00 min/mi which…
RSD #1,486 Progress is Impossible without Change
This concept is on my mind a lot lately. How do I define progress and how is it measured? Measuring in business is fairly straight forward since we have financials that don’t let us hide. Measuring fitness can be a little trickier but still we have a scale and how the body looks and feels….
RSD #1,484 & 1,485 From Las Vegas
Yesterday was an early day with a 3:00am run in order to make a 6:00am flight to Las Vegas. I loved the peace and stillness of the very early morning run. Then a long day of training with people from all over the region. It was a diverse group and we had a lot of…
RSD #1,483 Monsoon season is here
We enjoyed afternoon showers with thunder and lightening yesterday. It was wonderfully relaxing to sit and read. I am halfway through The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory which is part of a historical fiction series about King Henry VIII’s wives. I am a historical fiction junky and this series doesn’t disappoint. The monsoon…
RSD #1,482 If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you
It was a lazy Sunday and I slept in a little too late to beat the heat. So off to the the treadmill I went. The iFit trainers never disappoint and I ran a 5k in North Carolina virtually with trainer Ashley Paulson (yes, the one with the bright pink hair). She is an incredible…
