It was another beautiful desert trail run this morning. The weather is perfect and I am grateful the heat hasn’t hit yet. Looks like a few more weeks of 80 and 90 degree weather before we hit triple digits. I will take it! I felt good on the run and am feeling stronger so will…

RSD #1,794 Forgot my airpods
I rushed out the door without my airpods this morning so no book to listen to. Not a bad thing to be in my own head for 30 minutes. At this stage in my life I think a lot about the next phase of my life, what I want to accomplish still, and the impact…
RSD #1,793 One Last One More

I got derailed from my daily routine and started to lose focus due to some personal distractions. The running saves me. It brings me back to center. It is where I have the conversations with myself about what I really want in my life. Setting new standards and boundaries sounds easy until you are tested….
