During my training run today I was pondering a few of the things I’ve learned in life – So far… When am I at my best? I thought about it and I came up with when I check off these three squares everyday. Number one, feed my soul; When I wake up I say thank… Continue reading Three Squares

Commitment…
This is a word that’s been in the forefront of my thoughts for a while now… Why does it seem more difficult for people to commit more now than ever? Commitment is an issue we deal with every day in almost every aspect of our lives. Relationships are built upon it, showing up for work,… Continue reading Commitment…
Roads Less Taken
The Road Less Taken by Robert Frost is my favorite poem – In some ways it’s the most apt description of my life. That very thought occurred to me after I decided to take a right turn after my usual left turn during today’s run. That small adjustment in my normal route brought me to a small… Continue reading Roads Less Taken
Running with Gratitude…
This past week has been trying. I was in an accident on my way to work (rear-ended by a distracted driver in bumper to bumper traffic). I didn’t exactly have the most cooperative insurance agent (in her defense I was a bit shaken up). Then there are the all too many sad posts on Facebook… Continue reading Running with Gratitude…
Run Pretty?
Ok, I so got this from Carrie Underwood’s Cry Pretty… In my defense I’ve thought about this topic frequently — Almost every time I run! Let me begin by saying I dress for comfort and function. I own two pairs of dressy shoes one pair for warm weather the other pair for cold. So if you… Continue reading Run Pretty?
In The Gap…
On one of my more recent runs before I went on a weekend running getaway – I thought about the importance of being in or creating Gaps. First let me explain especially if you’re a new follower or don’t know that I’m a martial art school owner and master teacher. Gap in the martial arts is… Continue reading In The Gap…
Who’s Running This Moment?
Two weeks ago browsing in Barnes and Noble I happened upon a book by one of my favorite teachers Pema Chodron, COMFORTABLE WITH UNCERTAINTY. I didn’t realize at the time that it was prophetic! I’m a very structured person. I like schedules, routine and “certainty”. However 2018 has been less certain than anytime I can… Continue reading Who’s Running This Moment?
Willing to vs Wanting to…
I was introduced to this concept earlier this week at a program on anxiety. The facilitator Dr. Mark Schneider Ph.D, spoke on the differences of “wanting” and “willing” to do something. This struck a chord with me because I’ve always been fascinated with how some people will go through hell and back to accomplish something… Continue reading Willing to vs Wanting to…
Turning Corners, and sharing thoughts…
I often place unneeded pressure on myself; For instance the essence of this blog is “thoughts from the run”, but what if I don’t want to share those thoughts? See what I mean? I’ve sort of promised more than I’m sometimes willing to keep… In my defense when I first started running seriously every run was… Continue reading Turning Corners, and sharing thoughts…
1000 Days and 300 Miles
It’s been a milestone week for me. Not any of the big life events but those simple tasks that add up to a “Wow I did that” sort of milestones. Gretchen Rubin of the Happiness Project and author of many wonderfully insightful books wrote; “What you do every day matters more than what you do once… Continue reading 1000 Days and 300 Miles
