Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.  ~ Mark Twain

September 2018 update:  3 marathons, year’s first DNS – missed my miles, by a bunch.

Physical not yet resolved (pancreas likely).  Biggest struggle: Mental.  Not knowing, dropping weight, no plan of action – just pills.  Pain meds & enzymes.  MRI in October.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he careth for you.”  1 Peter 5:7

Worry isn’t gonna solve things.  One step.  Next day, another step.  And another.  And another.  Building on the positives.  Everyone has a story.  Life deals unexpected outcomes from time to time.  All part of the journey.  I’m not a victim.

SUPER SEPTEMBER.  Newfoundland, North Dakota & Maine.  #lucky in life

EVERY day of October I’m gonna move.  Good days, bad days, 2 miles minimum.  Stretch goal: 50 training miles AND a weekend marathon.  EVERY single week of October.

Don’t expect to wish the Physical away – but moving EVERY day of October, is a Plan.  Something I can control, step in the right direction.  Cooler October temps, all weather possibilities.  Easiest time of year to log miles, Autumn.  Can’t fail if you don’t try 🙂
