Friday!

I have been looking forwrad to today...Life goes so fast an furious. Today my goal is to slow down and enjoy THIS day! I was up early(which is normal for me) but taken time to reflect and get ready for a crisp morning run! My day hopefully will consist of very little WORK, lots of friend time!
As I prepare for Kilimanjaro, I have been ask...WHY? My WHY is my personal Summit daily, knowing that anything is possible. My son Michael is also an inspiartion that cannot really be expressed in words. Just thinking of my love for him inspires me to achieve a great Summit!

Take this day as the GIFT it was given and enjoy unwrapping it!

getting Close..

Good Morning!
My excersise pattern has been off due to schedule,weather...it's amazing how your heart and mind change without excersise of some sort. I am looking forward to Christmas, and seeing my family. I have actually had some exciting anticipation for the Christmas eve(my favorite), and Christmas morning!
The hike is nearing quickly...We continue to prepare...My hiking partner has been awesome in getting us prepared to this point! We have decided to have some travel Insurance so that is on my agenda today.
My fundraising has been slow...I have the hardest time asking. The youth of today need some strong direction in "Kindness" and "Sharing" love to one another! Thats my goal...
Hope you have a Joyfilled day!!

New Day

Today has been slow relaxed and easy...alot of refelection on what is really important. I am very driven person(if you hadn't already guessed) but I tend to get in my own way....Ever happen to you? My heart and prayers are with some many that I don't even know but the beauty of HIS family! I tell myself it's ok to slow down and relax...:)
I did wait until 9:30 then headed out in this grey day for a bit of a pick me up! 9 miles today, my knee did great, my mind was preoccupied at times, but then I just had to look UP to really SEE! I had to look at many pictures of our most special GIFT..my grandaughter. I also need to hear my own baby's voice, so very proud of him!
I am so very Blessed to have the opportunity to be going on an amazing trip....The day is getting closer!!

So starting out the day with a Thankful and Grateful heart! No matter the circumstance I will look at the day as a "Gift"!

Good Morning!
Just got back from a business trip, It's always nice to be home! I don't know about you but when I'm away i get out of my routine?? Yesterday was back at it...I had a hike planned but the smoke from the fire was so bad, I ran my usual route. Accomplished about 7 miles....but the smoke was so bad I had a hard time breathing:) I'm still so very thankful that i was out and MOVING!
We are less than 60 days from the climb, can't wait to share the summit!

Have a Joyfilled Sunday, and get out there and MOVE!

Questions

Good Morning....We made it thru Monday so far!
I continue to prepare myself for my trip of a life time. Journaling is important because it helps me remember what I was THINKING!
I like to go back in time and feel the experience again, and I really see my growth. If you would have asked me 2 or 3 years ago if I would climb a 19,300 ft mountain, I would hae shared it's a Dream, but it would'nt become a reality.
So I continue to encourage anyone reading...Dare to Dream! Dream Big, because it is real for you!
I have a full day, but planning on getting in at least a 4 mile run:)

Have a Terrific day....Dreaming!!

Monday!

After a long holiday, it's hard to get going....
Start your day with some activity! I'm heading out for a run to clear my mind, and to FILL it with positive thoughts,a nd energy!
I had some good miles over theweekend so today will be a shorter run...maybe around 4 or 5 miles. Clouds are low and a bit more chilly than usual, but it's time for some snow, and more winter like weather:)
ANYTHING is POSSIBLE today so Dare to Dream...

Have a Terrific Monday!!

Encouragement!

Started out my day with a 10 mile run...Some days it feels great, today was one of those days!
Weather is unseasonably nice...we really need some snow! No wind, and the sky was breathtaking!
The one thing that I love as I am running is encouragement from everyone, and anyone. I got waves, honks, and thumbs up today! I so appreciate it!
As I was running up a pretty long hill, I closed my eyes and visulized Kilimanjaro...NO question in my mind...I WILL summit!
I am so thankfule to be healthy!

The 2nd best part of the day...a Win for the Broncos!!
I encourage you to get outside your comfort zone and enjoy your DREAM!!

Have you ever doubted...

Good Morning!

I have missed a few days so here goes....Have you ever doubted yourself?
I have had 2 busy week of work, It has caused a stall in my workouts and my attitude. I woke up at 4 trying to figure out why I am doubting myself?
So I did a little tapping, Read a chapter in "Laws of Success" and ready for my run!
The sunrise was spectacular! So what do I have to "doubt" about?
I have made a decision to Take Courage and Believe in me today!! My Summit is the first step!

New Day...Veiw from the Top!

Continue to train and visualize the Ultimate Summit! My training this past week was just over 35 miles,upper body and core work. Reading and listening to audios to grow my understanding, and sharpen my sword.

I have had a growing desire to spend more time with family, so enjoyed the best evening with my son, and family! Dinner with my neighbors, and dinner with some of my dearest friends! This is truly what life is about.

Today we prepare to finalize the plane tickets!

It's becoming so real!
