“Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.” ― Brad Paisley

“May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire.” ― D. Simone

Do not let what you can not do; interfere with what you can do.

–John Wooden

Colorado Marathon Training

Here I am again at the beginning of marathon training.  By the time I toe the line it will have been four year since I ran a marathon, I would say it is definitely time again!  Mr. Hal Higdon has never lead me astray, so I am relying on him to get me across the finish line again!  One of these days I might actually get to meet him, but until then I will follow his plans to get me happily across the finish line.  

 

Week 1

Monday – “Rest” – pool time (hey, I got swim stuff for Christmas that I need to break in!!!!)

Tuesday – 3 miles

Wednesday – 3 miles

Thursday – 3 miles

Friday – “Rest” – Cross (having to flip flop Friday and Sunday)

Saturday – 6 miles

Sunday – “Cross” – rest

Seasons Greetings

Two months ago I was pretty Christmas this year would be very different.  I have never been so excited to have a normal Christmas with my family.  My mom, my sister, my children, two out of three of the fur babies and my dad were all there.  It is funny how some events make us appreciate the things we have so much more than expected. 

I realize it is late but I would like to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas, belated Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays!
