If it doesn't scare you....

Backstage at Les Mis

It has been a while since my last post. The summer was busy.... work, musical, and running. Now as I'm heading into a new school year it's time to think about what comes next. I always help students set goals and plans on how to achieve them and so I also think about my own personal goals.


So what's next for me? I had a little hiatus from running at the end of July/beginning of august due to a fall. But I'm back and slowly building mileage. It feels great!

Foot feels so much better

Ever dream of something and wake up freaked out and excited at the same time?

I've been contemplating pushing my running limits once again with my next racing venture. I've enjoyed all my runs (not so much the 5ks) but especially when the distances jumps beyond the marathon. I've taken on 50ks and 50Milers with a smile. Can my body handle more?

They say if you're not scared.... you're not dreaming big enough. Well, lets just say this dream has me shaking!

If you know me, I'm kind of a get it done kind of girl. I'll set my mind on something and you can pretty much guarantee it will be accomplished no matter how hard I have to work for it. But the thing is.... not finishing is a real possibility and that terrifies me. So what's more important..... playing it safe and only completing tasks I know I can accomplish.... or the joy of trying something new, hard, and exhilarating?

How about you? Any thoughts coming into your mind right now that excite and make you a little nervous all at the same time? Follow my journey into the unknown and reach out to me cause I'd love to hear about yours as well.

smile on my friends.... even when you're scared!

Stay tuned for race update
