Celebrate
A benefit of taking more time for myself over the last couple years has been having the opportunity to celebrate. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I began doing it... That is, celebrating and being thankful.
Beloved
I have feelings about this word. I was thinking about it today while driving through beautiful and scenic western Maryland. Almost everything I lay eyes on becomes beloved to me in some way. But who calls me beloved?
Fulfilled
For the past couple years I've been on a quest to find out what on this earth makes me feel fulfilled. What can I do, where can I go, that makes me feel the best kind of emotionally exhausted at the end of the day. I haven't quite found the pot of gold yet but … Continue reading Fulfilled
Water
Today's word is water. After living it the desert for almost 5 years, water has become a welcome sight. We can see the wide, slow moving Susquehanna from our house, and the Bay isn't much farther. I'm always reminded of how much civilization has relied on water for survival. In the desert, abundant water can … Continue reading Water
Ash Wednesday : Spirit
Passages from the Common Lectionary : Psalm 103, Joel 2:1-2, 12-17, Isaiah 58:1-12, 2 Cor. 5:20b-6:10, Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 My yearly journey of reflection through Lent continues for the third year in a row. I think last year I fell off the wagon.. I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Faith has proved to be a hard … Continue reading Ash Wednesday : Spirit
Grit and Grime
Running, specifically long distance running, has a way of stripping a person down to the inner grit and grime of who she is. The effects of using all the body's energy and breaking down muscle only to be rebuilt stronger don't discriminate between man, woman, young, old, affluent, poor, elite, not elite (read: me). Today's … Continue reading Grit and Grime
Philly Marathon Training Update
When I think of training for a race, I automatically evaluate it with a "good" or "not so good" or some other adjective to describe what I perceive it's been like. Truth is, every day I get out there and pound the pavement in search of health (physical and mental), it's a good day. And … Continue reading Philly Marathon Training Update
Charm City 20-Miler, Take 2
I'm enjoying the AC on this apparently 'fall' day, wearing my newly earned race shirt and curled up under my blanket. Actually, my legs are resting on the ottoman because ouch. I just ran, or killed, 20 miles through the beautiful woods of central Maryland. You can read last year's report here. You'll also read a … Continue reading Charm City 20-Miler, Take 2
Running to B’More
I'm sore today. As if I just raced hard yesterday. The kind of sore that comes after an almost-half-marathon distance race. I ran the Charles Street 12 Miler through Baltimore, Maryland. Mileage: 12 miles Average pace: 10:52 (per watch); 10:59 (per chip time) Elevation gain: 549 feet Calories burned: 1,849 Steps: 20,542 I've been out … Continue reading Running to B’More
