Really bad day

Woke up early this morning to go for a run.And I was right it was the only highlight of my day. I knew it was going to be a difficult day because last night I had been at a wake. My poor friend Marianne(who teaches right next door to me) has lost 3 members of her family in the last week. Yes, I said week. Her uncle was hit and killed while crossing the street to join his wife at a restaurant. Her mother in law got ammonia and was dead within 24 hours. Then her mother who went into the hospital for a routine procedure never recovered and died.
To make matters even worse Patty(my 4th grade teaching friend) who was a cervical cancer survivor discovered today that the cancer had spread to her lungs and chest. Honestly to was a bad day and I truly cannot put a positive spin on any of it.

Listen people out there in blogland! Enjoy your life to the fullest! Seize that day!

World Turtle Day

Today is World Turtle Day. So all the turtles out there unite!

Hello Weekend- Where did I leave my motivation?

It is a glorious Friday night here at the home front. I am sitting on the sleeping porch and enjoying my street from high above. Oh did I mention that I am also enjoying a Red Velvet cupcake too...
I really need to find my motivation because I would like to run early tomorrow morning and make it 6 miles or more.
Cross your fingers that my motivation is found and that I can do the miles.

DisneyLand Half Marathon

So the race is now offically at 75% full. What should I do, what should I do? This race was so fun to run last year and I know a gazillion runners running it. But I have a nonrunning husband who does not understand what would possess someone to literally fly across the country for 72 hours to go to a place/event that you have already done.

Am I crazy????

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

Went for an early morning run that was blustery but wonderful. Followed by french toast breakfast served on the good china! Then it was present time! My husband surprised me with a wonderful turtle charm for my bracelet. The kids made great presents that I absolutely love! Haley made a frame using Lilly wrapping paper and put my favorite running picture of us when we ran a 5k in Disneyland last fall. Hannah made me a wonderful picture with a great saying. I love it all! Truly I am blessed

Connecticut Race in the Park

I don't have a bib yet for this race but I am thinking I might head out early and get one. It is for a terrific cause and I think it might be the perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day. Weather is not expected to be so hot so if I wake up and it is a down pour no running. So cross your fingers for no rain!

Is summer here?

There is no set path, just follow your heart.
