sunday...

days are intensely warm - especially when you're out there running...yesterday i ran tempe town lake about 10 am....my enthusiam and body seem ready & in high gear...after the 2nd mile, i had to stop! my body was not performing; the heat is keeping me from running longer than 6 miles...glad the legs feel strong...waiting patiently to test it...i am looking forward to much cooler weather...race is in 8 eight weeks! eye close, my faith - you love my fear away...

new paths...

sunday aug. 21...the last week was pretty cool..music & new adventures!! in one week, saw little big town, kellie pickler...and last night - saw mato of indigenous at the rhythm room...country & blues. the heat is still here -running was okay yesterday! i ran the waterfront..am on my 3rd week of 1/2 marathon training..love it! miss my team mates...
on a path of a familiar..soon i will be getting back into a world i am much more comfortable with -even though the risks are there - i feel my time with 'Interior' has run out...its very apparent i am uninspired and quite honestly tired of the policies that sorta guide -more like governed the overall force - initiatives say to lead and contribute however i feel that is also limited to area where sit - in my 8'x8'x9' Box - thats it -i feel my offer has little selling point outside of the barrier...
those who know me, understand my reasoning...
...i believe i am meant do much more...

hurry 5 pm !

make-up artist

sat…ran @ 4:00am…got up at 3:15.made my way to lake…stretched and began my 13.1 practice..it was good up to 9.4 miles..(which is two laps around tempe town lake) - then all of sudden my right knee started aching! I was very disappointed yet happy …disappointed because I thought I was beyond this…like improving on my knee…happy cause I was running fast comfortable despite the 92 degree temp at 5 am : ( - I was on track to do maybe 1:43 or 1:45? Sunday, got up to hike camelback..me and my camelback (as if I did not get enough cardio day before)….the hike was grade school compared to the run! In the afternoon, my daughter breanna & i played around with pixture taking! the camera nikon 3100 is saaaaweet..so we became 'shooters'…we set up with wardrobes (mainly me..)…make up etc etc..(note to self: fire the makeup artist!) it was silly, creative, most of all fun..i painted my face too!

There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be. - George Sheehan
