Not only is the weather starting to warm and transition to summer, my life continues to transition as well. The temperature for this my 7:15am run was 57 degrees which is about ten degrees warmer than last week. The sun is coming up earlier too making for nice long warm spring days. I know this…

I definitely went on vacation! Went on a ski vacation in Lake Tahoe with friends from March 1st – 5th then back for a birthday celebration. Each morning was a cold run in the snow/ice covered streets where I was either running up hill or downhill with very little in between. Each morning we waited…

I call it book end runs when I run late in the evening one day then early in the morning the next. Sometimes I feel my body needs a little more than 24 hours between runs so I wait until evening and the change of time also adds some variety. The weather continues to be…

Day 1,726 was a very full Saturday. I was up early and off to play in a golf tournament in Arizona City. Since I have only played golf a few times in my life I am thankful for the best ball play and get super excited any time I actually have the best ball. From…

I think that when the blog streak was broken it became easier to miss another day. I believe that is the gift of the daily run…because you don’t miss, you don’t miss. I still say that learning the discipline to run every day has opened my eyes to the possibilities of what else is possible….

I went to Anaheim, CA for the past five days and it was a whirl wind trip. Drove over for the Keller Williams Family Reunion (annual convention) with my oldest son, Bo. We were joined a few days later by two other agents. This event is always jam packed with networking, great speakers, fun mixers,…

Geez, the weekend took me out! Went and played pickleball on Saturday for three hours after my run and then had dinner with my three boys. Sunday was early morning to the airport to send of the youngest son. Busy day and Super Bowl so a little distracted. Congrats to the Chief’s for the win!!…

Whew…midweek day drinking can really throw off your game! The Phoenix Open on Wednesday took some time to recover from. It’s Friday and I feel fine now! Nice easy pace around 9:30 min/mile and gorgeous mid 40’s weather. Can’t beat this time of the year for running. The rest of the day was smooth sailing…

I decided to do a dry January in preparation for the two half marathons. There were only a few times that I really wanted a drink and I do believe eliminating the alcohol increased my fitness and speed. I didn’t drink until after the second half marathon on Feb. 4th where I accomplished my PR….

…say goodbye? is a beautiful new song by Dean Lewis. When I heard it for the first time yesterday it had me in tears. I looked it up and watch the video and wow, just wow! Such a special tribute to his father. Saying goodbye is one of, if not the, hardest things to do….
