Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

I felt like my spirit was trying to crawl out of my body and scream. I know that sounds crazy but my mind has been so full of so many things this past two weeks, and I haven't been talking care of myself. This morning I got the final news of Holly's passing and I can't explain it, but I couldn't get out of the door fast enough. A lot of times runs make me emotional, or my emotions come to the surface while running. I keep things bottled in a lot. I vent frustrations, but I don't deal with them if that makes sense. So running forces them to come out. Anyway..obviously my mind is still jumbled bc I'm all over the place even now, I sound like a crazy person. Maybe I am a crazy person now. I've been dealing with so many crazy people that I've become one of them. Ahhhhhh!
Anyway..songs today were "You don't know you're Beautiful" 1D and "Stay Beautiful" Taylor Swift. Beautiful was the theme. So todays run is dedicated to Holly Holbrook, she never came to the point in life to love herself and find out how beautiful she could have been. Soar High Holly and find your peace once and for all. xoxo.
