Time

 It has been a long time since I have visited this page...

Almost forgot it was here

So much has happened

So much time gone by

Not a minute to spare

Here I go again

Marathons

I set out to run 1 marathon before I turned 30...seemed like an impossible task.
Impossible because I would train and train and train but for some reason every time I got to the 5th week of training I would get an unbelievably excrusiating pain in my left knee. I'd lay off and not run for a few days and try again...after that, I couldn't go farther than a couple blocks before the pain began.
Well, 3 years after my initial attempt and now running really low on time to meet my goal, I was given a Physical Therapist's name from a friend. I wasn't really keen on calling her because I always was under the assumption that physical therapy was for people who broke bones or had a stroke or something along those lines...but given the options -I called and made an appointment.
I am soooo very thankful I did...because of my physical therapy sessions (which by the way were very painful) I completed the Chicago Marathon, Oct. 22, 2006.
There was no stopping me now...I changed my goal to 3!!!
It's now October 2007 and I have completed my goal!
I ran 3 marathons in less than 1 year and am smiling because I don't turn 30 till March of 2008!
I will take some time off of training...I am burnt out, but I do plan on doing another marathon in the fall of 2008.
So, the point of my rambling...Physical Therapy ROCKS...and goals can be accomplished! :-)

Run Run!

So I'm less than a month away from running my 2nd Marathon and I still can't figure out why I am doing it. I'm not involved in a charity so it's not for that...I don't have a love for running so it's not that...I smoke -that's an oxymoron in itself -so why?
Am I running from something -subconsciously that is? If so, what?
I put myself through 6mths of therapy and left because I wasn't getting anything out of it...
I felt like the sessions was purely giving away my money -we talked about my training schedule and not my life.
While training for my 1st marathon I had just broken up with what I thought was the love of my life...2 days after the marathon and 4months of training we got back together -the happiest day of my life. I absolutely feel complete with her!!!
As I train for this marathon I am still with her so what could I possibly be running from -if anything.
Life really makes no sense to me sometimes.
When I want answers -there are none
When I don't want answers they're pouring at me!!!
Why is that I wonder.
Oh well, such is life I suppose...I wonder, doubt, hope, pray and keep running!

Time Flies

Wow, the last time I was on here was when I was broken up with and moving...
Strange life we live in
October I ran the Chicago Marathon
The day after I met up with the Ex
Since then we've been back together
Still not sure if it'll last or not -it scares me
I love her but not sure what's in her heart
Life takes turns and unsuspecting twists
I keep jumping -
Here I go!

Life Goes On

Well, here I am
Another day gone by
My heart aches again
Another relationship failed
I'm beginning to believe there isn't any 1 out there for me
Something so good falls to pieces
Something feels so right isn't
Next page
June 1st I move
Maybe new surroundings will bring new vibes
We shall see

Time

It's been awhile since I've been here...
My world has been turned upside-down 2 times in 3mths
Crazy little world we live in...
Change is inevitable
Like it or not
But the choice on how to deal with it is up to you
Questions, answers, wonders, ponders, LIFE

Great Quote

This quote is in the booklet for RENT:

"We each live in a number of overlapping communities: a community of family, a community of friends, still another of neighbors...the people in our school, our city or town, our country, and - ultimately - the community of mankind."

How true it is!!!
