Yesterday I celebrated my 56th birthday. It amazes me more and more how quickly life happens! It is said;” the days drag and the years fly”. I’m seeing the truth in that statement more and more each day. So here are some thoughts from my Birthday Run and the “Run called Life” so far: Things… Continue reading Perspective @ 56

Changing States…
I was having a brief conversation with friends about students who’ll be leaving for college and just moving in general. I’m always amused when people say they are leaving for a fresh start, to get away from it all or something that’s bringing them down. Believe me I’m not against moving or going away. I… Continue reading Changing States…
Unencumbered…
One of the reasons I’m attracted to running is very little is required, except good shoes and time. I’m free of team obligations, expensive equipment,scheduling venues needed to participate, like a tee time. It’s me and where I choose to run. Since I’ve started running this unencumbered philosophy has found it’s way into other areas… Continue reading Unencumbered…
Change of Direction?
A recent set of events has me reviewing my life and where I am. I’ve been blogging about the comings and goings of the people in my life, but there are deeper emotional changes as well. Let’s face it at fifty-four there is more road behind me than ahead of me. I’m sensing a change… Continue reading Change of Direction?
Passing…
I just found out from a friends Facebook post that her cat passed. It made me think of how much time has gone by since she brought the furry friend home. These kind of thoughts are like a sweater unraveling and I started thinking of all the people and events that have passed in that… Continue reading Passing…
Re-Tracing Steps…
Have you ever been caught up being busy, lose something, then have to stop and Re-trace your steps to find what you lost? I believe this can happen with ourselves as well. We’re so busy being our resumes’ , a 54 year old martial art school owner, former registered nurse, daughter of Manuel and Sarah, amateur… Continue reading Re-Tracing Steps…
Everyone Runs…
I had a master to black belt talk today with two of my high ranking students. Most anyone in a mentoring relationship has given similar advice. I explained to the students that we all “run” we may not all be runners but everyone is running… It has been my observation there are three main categories… Continue reading Everyone Runs…
Staying Flexible On The Road…
Flexibility is not to be overlooked! This opening sentence has meaning on so many levels… (Insert whine about recent injury), as you may know by now I’ve sustained an aggravating injury. The injury may or may not have been due to a lack of flexibility but it could have been worse if I hadn’t been… Continue reading Staying Flexible On The Road…
No Pain No Gain…
After pulling up lame in what was supposed to have been my long run for the week – Limping home gave me plenty of time to think! I recalled the phrase “No Pain No Gain” from the body builders in the gym. This wasn’t that kind of pain! After analyzing how I happened to pull,strain… Continue reading No Pain No Gain…
Running The Loop…
I find it ironic how the types of runs parallel our lives. Take the loop for instance, this is when you have the same starting and ending point; for example many runners start and end their runs from home. No matter how far the runner goes he/she will eventually return to where they started, home.… Continue reading Running The Loop…
