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?
Wednesday Word
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.

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!

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

Serendipitous is an adjective that describes accidentally being in the right place at the right time, like bumping into a good friend in some unusual location, or finding a hundred dollar bill on the ground.
