On the run..

On the run.

With me being a creature of habit and sticking to the same thing over and over this my friends is

the street I run on as often as possible. I have been really trying and succeeding ( I think)

in following through on the training for the 50k.

I am following an app that I found on my I phone called

The 50k Coach. by running method

I love that I found some app on my phone that tells me what to do.

So cool.

I haven't been as excited about going out and running the last couple of times but a

good friend told me not to think about the before part of going out to run.

Just get your stuff ready and get up and do it.

So I did and I stopped worrying about how fast I was going

I stopped comparing myself to other runners who kick ass.

I stopped thinking about all the junk that holds me back from enjoying my time

by myself doing what I love.

It takes me about 15 min to let go and just start being really present in that moment.

sometimes I just seem to stop thinking but the more I practice letting go the easier it becomes.

I started doing that same thing with my journals too. I try to let my brain just write and try not to analyze or think about it. I am really surprised at the stuff I write.

So my dear friends this year my focus will be on finishing my first 50k.

I have a feeling or maybe its hope that doing this will be a total life changing experience

just like running a marathon. The clarity that comes from running a really long way is worth the pain the effort the sweat .. I actually feel God is right there along side me and were having a great time..

Have a great Monday

You never make mistakes.

I learned today that you never make mistakes.
That sounds a little off right, so here's what I was told.
You never really make mistakes Gloria. These things we call mistakes are actually are learning events. We make these things we call mistakes ( learning events) because we are learning a lesson from it. If it did not happen we would not have learned what
we needed to for next time. If we keep making the same mistake or the same learning event keeps happening its because
we need to learn a different facet from that event.
So we have a major learning event happen in our life and we wake up going oh my what did I do ! What just happened. We need
to remember that at that time we conducted ourseves and made decisions based on what we knew at that time. Sure, its easy to look back and say I should of done this or that different but really you did the best you could given the information you had at that time. If you had the knowledge then that you do now things would be different but you did not so you did the best you could
This helped me like my self more. I just felt like sharing because I know as females being kind to ourselves is hard sometimes and maybe this helps .
I hope you had a good day.

Where are you going?

So as I was trying to go to sleep last night and I just could not all I kept hearing in my head was this song. I thought about how cool it would be to make this a song about yourself. I have been handed what I will choose to call a difficult task. It is about forgiving someone for being just mean. It also has to do with not believing what this person has to say about me. Its amazing to me how some small part of me still chooses to believe this person. I wonder if its because I like to somehow feel sorry for myself or maybe its because what he chooses to say somehow is a belief that I have about myself. I thought about how this could be a good thing because I don't have to think about all my insecurities I just have I just have to write down what he says.

I am not feeling sorry for myself I feel like I am coming from a place of realization.

What I realize is this... We , me ,us we need to love ourselves and I know I have said this before but It really works for me... Self talk its so important to speak sweetly to yourself. Nurture yourself ,like being with yourself. Smile when you don't need too. Tell yourself I like myself today. I want to be with myself and I am learning to forgive and trying to understand myself. I feel if I do this its almost like I am filling this part of me that we should all have..Maybe this makes better sense. When I continuously treat Gloria well and I forgive her I am building up a type of base a good foundation for whatever may come .

So going back to the story of forgiving that mean person ... If I keep up the standing by my side and loving myself , I know its not easy all the time specially for that certain week in the month for me. But if you just make a real effort to be good to yourself its so much easier to forgive and move on . Its so much easier to go to your well being reserve and tap into it when things get yucky and we need to forgive or just accept what is happening with an open heart. Sometimes its not what we want or what we feel we need but I feel that acceptance is the first step to a content heart..

If I sound crazy that's OK too. I learning to accept this part of me that feels passionately about needing to share the little things I do to survive .. I hope this Tuesday brings you peace and may you smile today...

OK so here are the lyrics to this song...Yes I adore Dave Matthews his music always reminds me of me in Boulder Colorado and just being ....

Where are you going, with your long face pulling down?
Don't hide away, like an ocean
That you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down

I am no superman.
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero, Aww that's for sure
But I do know one thing:
Is where you are is where I belong.
I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be.

Where are you going? Where do you go?
Are you lookin' for answers to questions under the stars?
Well if along the way you are growin weary, you can rest with me
Until a brighter day, you're ok.

I am no superman.
I have no answers for you.
I am no hero, aww that's for sure.
But I do know one thing:
Where you are is where I belong.
I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be

Where are you going? Where do you go?
Where do you go? Where are you goin? Where do you go?

I am no superman.
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, Aww that's for sure
But I do know one thing:
Is where you are is where I belong.
I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be.


Where are you goin'? Where do you go?

Tell me where are you going?
Where? Let's go.
