This Runners Wish List:

This book & time to read it



Time and ability to race again




Time to watch Endurance

 Basically, time to do things that have to do with running.  I have realized more than ever how important running is in my life and how much I need it to stay balanced, healthy and happy.

I do love the winter but I'm looking forward to the sun being out after work so Rollins & I can run together.

Holy Smokes!

The lady on the left is 92 years old!!!  Her name is Gladys but I bet she is called Glady (look at her shirt).  What an athlete!  She just completed her 5th Honolulu marathon.  She first ran the Honolulu marathon at age 86.  Read more about it here.  This is just amazing.

I have been trying to figure out why I started this blog.  At first it was to train for a marathon.  Now it is for running long time in life.  Even it is one mile I pray I'm running in my 90's.

I missed Monday's run but I made it happen for today.  My problem is getting out the door.  Rollins likes to remind me that he comes first :)

NYC Marathon is this weekend.  I LOVE watching marathons on TV.  I watched the Olympics, NYC last year, and any others that come on TV.  I remember tearing up when Meb crossed the finish line last year.  Put politics and college football aside.  It was a moment where we were all cheering for the same team... USA!!  It was a moment where I felt proud to be an American!  He was the 1st American since 1982 to win the largest marathon in the world. 

I dream of being at the back of pack of a big marathon like this.  What a feeling to know elite runners and olympic athletes are leading you!

"Like the marathon, life can sometimes be difficult, challenging and present obstacles, however if you believe in your dreams and never ever give up, things will turn out for the best.”
