sometimes, you just need to do it

Sometimes, picking up the phone to call or text someone to tell them that you love them is important.  It never fails to bring your day up as well as the person who received your message.  You don’t need to be romantically in love with the person, but if you feel it, say it sincerely.

I know!! He has to have a room filled with just themes for the various races!!

I never thought of that but I think you’re right!! And I know he’s there just by the jingling bells when he’s approaching. Im not thrilled about those bells when they’re smoking past me during the races lol.

Nice. To me today’s race was a more challenging direction because you have that long hill up the west side. Followed by Harlem. Followed by Bitch Ass Bitch hill and the the last leg is up that gradual slope. Way to own it!!

I wonder if they did that just to mess w/ the bold brazen topless men in the tartans?  And don’t forget to mention that hill called that Damned M’effer.  At least that’s what I called them last year.  But the cool part was when I got to the ones I cursed out last year and realized…”OMG…I’m actually pushing through this ass of a landmark an d f a  hill  and I’m waving goodbye just as quickly as it came up”.  Gotta admit it’s a great feeling to flip it the bird as I run by. :D

Taking on the 10k Today

I’m going to make this brief only because I know how I can be excessive in writing.  So here it goes.

I feel awesome today because I shaved about 6 minutes off my last year’s time on the Scotland 10k.  Why did this happen?  1. I rested well 2. Proper nutrition/fuel 3. good attitude 4. made it to the park when I wanted to with good company (My Daddy). 

I think the most ultimate important thing ever is that when you have a game plan and you organize yourself.  You train well with the proper resources and you keep a quality nutritional lifestyle, you can go really far.  Matter of fact, the hills of Central Park didn’t burn me…THEY DIDN’T FLIPPING BURN ME.  This is great, only because the most dreadful part of running in Central Park is the damned hills.  But guess what Hills….I GOT YO NUMBA SUCKA!!! BOOYA!!! XOXOXO =)

Psychotherapy sessions-Tumblr Edition?

While there’s a community of people here who care about your life and the decisions you make in life, I don’t feel that obligating them to hear your problems and helping you through them is appropriate.

Last I checked, the blogosphere is a place where we can all write our thoughts on a myriad of topics for people to either comment with their views, like, repost so that more people can share this great thought.  Regardless, what I’ve been seeing is a lot of people hiding behind the anonymous shell looking for someone to pat them on the back and tell them it’ll be okay.  That’s nice, but this isn’t what most of us get online and write for (unless that’s what you do, then if it is, power to you and keep up the great work!). 

I think this also applies to life away from the computer.  Sometimes in an effort to be supportive, you allow your shoulder to become someone else’s safe haven.  Unfortunately, being someone else’s safe haven puts a lot of burden on your shoulders which will bring about a great weight that will become more of a problem to get off.  So before you get caught up in someone else’s problems, tell them that you think they’re smart enough to figure it out and it won’t hurt to try it out on their own.  It’s okay to help with sound advice from time to time, but when it becomes the purpose of your regular conversations…that’s when you need to put your foot down and stand up for yourself.

excitement for it is beautiful out

So I have a good moment to share.  My bike is getting tuned up and I’m getting new pedals to go with my clipless shoes.  yea I’m going clipless on my bike.  

I’m thrilled because at first I was getting the shoes just for spin.. After the 80 + ticket on those shoes, why the hell just wear them for class, take those puppies out for a spin baby!!

With the weather getting beautiful, I’m getting my bike tuned up and ready for the season.  I love cycling, it’s my favoritist thing in the world right next to a great night’s pillow hugging session.  I’m making plans to go out on some long rides with one of my buddies who is also into the idea of getting on that bike and riding off into the sunset…and then come home because hunger kicks in. =)  

I LOVE THIS WEATHER!!!

Let’s hope I can get this enthusiastic about marathon training.  I know once the marathon is over, I’ll be putting a Century into my goals.  I’m going to ride 100 miles somewhere stay at a B&B and ride 100 miles back a couple of days after.  I think that would be a superb thing to do.  Who’s in? (okay maybe that’s not a real open invite, JUST KIDDING).
