Epiphany

Not everything is meant to be okay. Hard times will come to us all. People come and go in our lives. What matters in the end is not what happened, but how we prevail and push through. Life is a magical journey and it's not always about the destination, it's those moments that count and take your breath away. I feel as though I am on my home. Tonight I had a great run, not my old pace, but a new pace which I am equally proud of. With time, practice, and persistence I will push beyond these walls and beat my old running pace. My newest venture in my life, 13 Going on Crazy, has connected me with some amazing people who are examples of not falling to your fears, but instead, disregarding life's limitations and living life to the fullest.

Remember wherever you are, there you go.

From Wheelchair to Running on Air at Walt Disney World Resort

Take out your tissues, as you view this amazing story about a fellow runner who defeated the odds and went from a wheelchair to running at Walt Disney's Tangled Royal Family 5k. In the true spirit of most runners she simply did not give up. What an amazing story, way to go!

Sweet Dreams

First of all please note the post time, yes it is 4:15 in the morning! Here is one for Freud, my dream tonight, I am running in what appears to be a race. I for reasons unknown to me am carrying my Asics running shoes instead of them being snugly wrapped around my feet. I tend to have to dreams where I am barefooted, I don't know what that is about. Did I mention that I am running on stones nears a beach with seals who will not stop marking the trademark bark? Very strange dream, common sense when running on stones would be to put on shoes, but not me I just kept on running. Maybe the subliminal message here is that perhaps yes in life it gets chaotic and messy, but you need to keep on going and push on through.
