May has been a super full month of activity, multiple road races, 2 marathons only 3 weeks apart & my first Century attempt (fail after 80 miles).  I’ve stayed strong mentally & done the swim/bike/run gig for 17 consecutive days.  Tomorrow will be my first break from training as get my tourist on in Minneapolis – then marathon #8 early Sunday a.m.

Part of 2 running groups now – 4 mile run on Thursday nights in Lafayette & a Saturday morning long run group (albeit have only managed one show to date – Saturdays are prime time training).

10 Things That The People Who Love Their Lives Are Doing Differently

Surprise, surprise… happy people live their lives differently. They don’t have different lives. They just do a better job at living them than those who are unhappy.  Most of the time, we find ourselves in the situations we are in because of actions we took and decisions we made. It’s the way that you live your life that largely decides whether or not you will live happily.

 

…live in the moment, but dream in the future

Happy people have hopes, dreams and goals. They have wants and aspirations, but they don’t allow themselves to get caught up and lost in them.  You can’t live life doing nothing more than looking towards the future because you’ll miss the only time that things actually matter or exist: the present.  The present…is the only moment that you can actually live in. The rest is only an illusion.

Staying inspired & living in the N-O-W!

Upbeat & excited before marathon weekend #8 in Minnesota (sure you betcha 🙂 )
