I don't think it's a good idea to be fearless, which was actually last week's Wednesday Word, but apparently I can't put posts on my calendar on the right days. You can read my thoughts on dilemma here. Fear exists for a reason -- to protect us. If we have no fear, we'd cross a street against … Continue reading Fearless: a good or bad thing?
Wednesday Word
Who thinks running is free of dilemmas?
Not me! Really, is there anything in life that is free of dilemmas? Dilemma: a situation in which you have to make a difficult choice. We're talking about dilemma today on the Wednesday Word. I have to be careful with surfing. It's still an addiction to me. It's all I want to do, and that's the big … Continue reading Who thinks running is free of dilemmas?
It’s not the size of the dream . . .
. . . it's the size of the dreamer Okay, I gotta admit, what does that mean? What difference does the size of the dreamer make? Seriously, isn't the size of the dream really the important thing? One of my favorite quotes from Inception (a fascinating movie if you haven't seen it) is "you musn't … Continue reading It’s not the size of the dream . . .
Team Energetic or Team Lazy?
Energetic. It seems like such a simple topic, doesn't it? And yet ... when I think about energetic, today's Wednesday Word, initially I was at a loss. One definition of energetic: Possessing or exhibiting energy; especially in abundance; vigorous I'd like to say that I possess energy in abundance, I really would. Despite going out and running … Continue reading Team Energetic or Team Lazy?
Good judgement comes from experience
Oddly enough, I don't find runners to be judgemental, the Wednesday Word for this week. You know who I do find to be judgemental? The non-runners! I am a solid BOTP (back of the packer) to sometimes MOTP (middle of the pack), depending on the race and who shows up. My most recent race was a small race … Continue reading Good judgement comes from experience
Show me how big your brave is
I am sure I won't be the only blogger going with lyrics from Sara Barellies's song "Brave" for today's Wednesday Word. That's okay -- I love Sara! Fun fact: I saw her at the Austin Rodeo before she became really big. My husband thought she'd be a one hit wonder. Ha! Just like that other girl I talked him … Continue reading Show me how big your brave is
Is my life adventurous?
I don't consider myself to be a very adventurous person, which is our Wednesday Word for this week. But let's look at the definition of adventurous: Inclined or willing to engage in adventures; enjoying adventures I'm a planner. I love to know what half I'm going to do next months in advance. And yet I've been known, on … Continue reading Is my life adventurous?
Be Faithful in Small Things
Isn't it hard to be faithful in the small things? Faithful, as you may have guessed, is today's Wednesday Word. Is this faithful? There is being faithful in the small things I need to do to keep me running injury free, and I runfess that I haven't been as faithful to these small things as I … Continue reading Be Faithful in Small Things
Shenanigans
Shenanigans is another tough Wednesday Word for me! We're on a roll with the tough words lately. I'm sure a lot of runners would be able to easily come up with the shenanigans they've pulled during running. I am a rather serious person, I'm afraid. I think I can be fun, but I really don't get up to … Continue reading Shenanigans
Gracious, better known as the Golden Rule
Gracious, today's Wednesday Word, was another stumper for me. Oh sure, there's the obvious: being gracious in defeat. Except I've never won a race, and chances are, I never will. In fact, most runners won't. It is not why most runners run, and you can read yesterday's post to see the number one reason why … Continue reading Gracious, better known as the Golden Rule
