I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13
Each day is a new day full of promise. Every new day brings me joy, excitement, purpose and motivation to do my best. I ran, trotted, jogged, shuffled and crawled and did my 45 mile run yesterday in the intoxicating sun!I I am thankful for my life's journey and hope it's made a positive impact on folks. Ronald crewed for me and did an amazing job and was patient and very supportive.
I initially wanted to run this 45 on the Orting Trail or the Burke- Gilman in Seattle because both of the trails are essentially flat and I'd be able to navigate thru the run faster and recover quicker. Ron said that he wasn't willing to spend the day on a trail in the sun. Well..........the Diva had to negotiate!
To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths......Amby Burfoot
The route- 121st Street to 8th Avenue to 128th for a 1 mile in the letter U. It worked out perfectly because it's a 1/2 mile from my house, I got to see absolutely everyone- neighbors, kids, dogs etc. and virtually no cars or traffic lights!
Cooler-(I didn't wear my back pack- cooler was left in the car on the U)- water, water, water, diet Pepsi ice, bars, trail mix. muffins, candy and ViSalus pro energy drink

Don't lose sight of your aspirations because we all have the power to change our lives......we are each on our own journey and are responsible for our own health and well being. It begins by doining one thing that empowers us each day and by putting one foot in front of the the other and pressing on to where we want to go.
