In my lifetime I have ran
Out on Mission Point Penninsula,
Through the ghettos of Flint,
On the "Bricks",
Through cemetaries,
Through open fields in Frankenmuth,
Over countless hills,
In downtown Chicago,
In Mexico,
Over the Detroit River,
Through Windsor,
Under the Detroit River,
Through Detroit,
In five metroparks in Michigan,
For 4 hours in a blizzard, alone, and without music,
Through many industrial parks,
Over miles and miles of trails,
Through hell,
With injury,
Wearing a skirt during lunch,
On the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
Over two bridges between Cincinatti, OH and Covington, KY,
With a flying pig or two,
In Boston and Reading, MA,
On the beach in Virginia,
Through the desert,
Past cacti and rocks and palm trees,
Through too many to count snow and rain storms,
On the hottest day of the year,
On the coldest day of the year,
On my birthday,
On New Years Eve,
On every day of the week.
First thing int he morning,
Last thing at night,
On a track,
On a treadmill,
On medication,
Sick...
In my life I have ran in more places and seen more things than I ever thought I would. Keep on running your journey! Take time to reflect all the places you have been and all the things you have seen!

Perspective.
Today is one of those days in which I gain perspective on things.
I am working from home, and went out to lunch today. On my way back, I realized just how beautiful everything is with ice covering it. The weeping willows look as if there are spun gold... every other tree looks like it is adorned with diamonds.
Stunning. Beauty. Nature. And I cannot wait to start training for the Flying Pig later this week. To run out there amongtst all of that.
I thank God for days like this. For giving us the beauty which surrounds us, if only we slow down enough to really look and see. For giving us the ability to do something about this, and be a part of the world on so many levels. For revealing to us that the answer to life and happiness is simple. Be a part of life, and you will be happy.
So this week I start my next level of Half-marathon training. This time for real, and this time with a purpose. The journey just got a little longer! ;)
Keep on running!
