Something For A Cause.

Doing something for a cause and having a great time-what could be better? A week back I was blessed to run in a marathon relay for breast cancer in sunny Fla. So with skirt and pink arm warmers I was given the final leg of this great event.

Many events are directly related to a cause. Why not get out there and do a few. It's not often we get to do something we love and help others. Join a team and raise some money. Many of these teams also have coaches and training plans. So you get to help out a cause and yourself? And have a good time!

Back to the race. Coming from freezing temps to the sunshine was the perfect medicine for this guy. Our team leader ( sporting a skirt and a wig ) smokes the first leg for another team. Then because of the strange bus schedules ends up running his leg for our team in reverse and forward to hand me the stick. Superman!

All in all a good time with great friends. Some old, some new, and all friends.
Next year we are giving the women a run for their money!
Go do something good!

More to come...

Up The Miles- Again!

Every now and then I have to remind myself something- "Life is not a moving sidewalk." You can't just stand there and move through life. You can't expect life to come to you. You have to jump off the moving sidewalk and put in the work!

I see this all the time in people. I see this in myself. What I want to do requires me to get out there and put in the work. With all that goes on in my life and in my head I can;t expect to be where I want to be without jumping off the sidewalk and finding a way to make it work.

So tomorrow morning I jump off the sidewalk again.

More to come...
