Each Day Is a Gift

NOTHING is wrong with you! You are the toughest, sweetest, LITERALLY BEST 55 year old out there that I know. It was a bad day after a long week of miles, that is all. I am sure if you had had some company it would have been much better. 16+ miles alone is never fun! Guess we need to plan some Saturday runs so you will not be lonely.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Smooth, I just got caught up on your entire week of running and you need to go back and read Friday's post....that is why YOU run! I run for therapy and ice cream, you run for spirituality and freedom!

HUGS to you!

You've had an amazing week and are an amazing person! Like Kelli said, remember WHY you run, we have good days and bad days. Let's plan a run next Saturday (I'm free as a bird!) so that you have some company.

I was going to say what Kelli said, "read your blog from Friday."

If every run was great, you wouldn't realize how great they were, that is why there is "opposition in all things."

Great miles this week, congrats in beating me down and keeping me humble.

I ran 15.5 alone (for the most part) We need to get together more often!

77? Really? I will go and rest for you now.

Hope you are doing well these days.

amazing.

Wow that was a very long run to do by yourself. The only time I ever went that far by myself was when I was training for the Salt Lake Marathon and my daughters that I train with were either pregnant or injured. It is sure a lot harder to run that far alone. Great job!!

Oh SSF~

NOTHING is wrong with you (except maybe that you don't get enough sleep).

Today is Sunday ... take a LONG nap, chill, read, rejuvenate that giant spirit of yours.

Wednesday let's do something fun and then work on your legs.

Love and miss you so so so much.

(You really have no idea how incredible you are. Wish there was something I could do or say to convince you of it!!!)

((YOU HAVE HAD AN AMAZING COUPLE OF WEEKS!!!!!))

Kelli ~ Thank you so much for your kind words! I need to remember that running does not define me.

When can I collect the hugs? I miss you sooo much!

Rachel ~ It seems like forever since I ran with you. In fact I can't even remember when we ran together last. I would love love love to have your company anytime!

Rhett ~ Yes, you are so right. I should be grateful that I CAN run. You have gone down the "wounded" road many a times and speak with the voice of experience...indeed opposition in all things. I am counting my blessings! :)

Kathie ~ I can't wait to run with you and hear all about Japan! It's too bad we live so far apart! I always have so much fun running with you! Love you, sis!

Bec ~ You make me laugh! Jeff loved the Christmas gathering! You are a WONDERFUL friend! How's the dance concerts?

allie ~ right back at ya! Your AWESOMENESS never cease to amaze me!

Nancy ~ I so envy you having your daughters to run & train with. I used to run alone all the time until I got on this blog and met all these wonderful friends and joined their Sat group runs. Now I realize how much I need and crave their company.

SSF ~ You always say the nicest things. I have to accept the fact that I cannot run with you any more. GOOD LUCK with your Finals. You will do AWESOME! You have a bright future and I am very very very happy for you!

BTW, no smileys for me? LLL LLL LLL

TEENA MARIE!!!! What are you doing UP SO LATE? You should be in bed, young lady! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Bad days + Good days = Human Condition

Mega Miles = Dead Legs

Shopping or Christmas stuff ≠ Happy ≠ Good

Seriously Wrong=Seriously Crazy=Serious Runner=Seriously Right

Sounds like you had an empathy building day. Such days are bad in the moment but can be put to good use in the future.

Smooth, I need to learn the same thing!!!!!!

Something is wrong with you, but ummm I like that something. Keep doing what you're doing Smooth. I think what you do is amazing and one day I want to be like you, so keep it up.

Fly ~ You nailed it! Love your *equations*! You're a genius with a big heart! It was an empathy building day! These will be put to some kinda use in the future I'm sure!

Kelli ~ I am 18 years older than you and have sooooo much more to learn than you!

Scott ~ Who are you kidding?! I wish I could do half of the crazy amazing things you do! One thing I do know, you WILL be my age one day! :) Then you'll look back and say to yourself or your grandchildren: "Wow! My AWESOMENESS overfloweth!"
