Running

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!

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….

I did not sleep last night just couldn’t get up and run today. It was a long day and I really didn’t feel like running. These are the days when I wonder why I do this. Then I got out there and after the first five minutes I was feeling good and happy to be…

The Sunday after the new half marathon PR and I am surprisingly not sore. My legs did feel a little heavy hitting mile two and I thought to myself, “this feels a lot like mile 10.” Today I saw a FB post about each day being a blessing and to get the most out of…
