The 10K
No real deep, meaningful words yet. It was humid and hot. I ran the whole thing, no stopping. Even ran by the water stations with my hand out for the water. Finished in 1 hour and 16 minutes. Amazing. For now, the photos (all taken by my husband). Insights will follow at a later time.

Gaining Confidence
I have been away for so long!!!! I have been sucked into my new Unravelling E-Course with Susannah Conway (yippee! :-D) and I have worked every day since my last post (Ack!!!).
The e-course has me facing lots of fears and acting more boldly which is already boosting my confidence as Week Two begins. I can only imagine where I will be by the time Week 8, our final week, concludes! Boggling! I highly recommend this course to EVERYONE!
Running is a real outlet for me and I have talked about it many times here. Last week, I realized that I only go running with the dog. I never go alone. Why? Well, I was afraid. What might happen to me if I went alone? What if I am only able to run because the dog is a motivator, keeps me moving forward? What if I went running and found that I gave up on myself and just started walking? Could I really do it alone?
Turns out that I can do it alone and be motivated, strong, and safe.
Do something that scares you this week. You might just surprise yourself.
Take it from me, the confidence boost you will give yourself will be amazing, intoxicating!

Running Season Re-Deux
Last year, when Pierce the puppy came to live with us, I started running and I came to love it. May through at least November, we ran at least twice a day.
Then winter came, cold and snowy and slippery. We enjoyed the delights of Winter, but I was not delighted by winter running. So, we walked, tumbled in the snow, made people and puppy snow angels, and the like.
Now Spring has returned and we have just returned from our first run of the season.

Me after our run
Pierce after our run
Last year I felt as if I was running from something. This year I feel as if I am running toward something wonderfully unknown and yet somehow divine. I am so looking forward to accepting it gratefully moment by moment.
