16 Mile Everest.
My run today was my own personal everest. Physically I felt strong but my mind was anywhere but with me on the road. Normally I am a master at finding a pace and staying at that pace no matter what I am thinking about but today I let the weight of what’s on my mind guide my running. If my mind said to stop I stopped, if my mind said to take a rest on that park bench I took a rest on that...
O Christmas Eve...
Its 70 outside. O wait it dropped to 68. I ran around all morning non stop since about 8:30 am. I made cookies for breakfast tomorrow, I made mash potatoes for part of our dinner tomorrow. I made the Boo some dinner because he is off working a double and I prepped for our adventure to give back tomorrow. but NOW right now, I am going to take a nap and when I wake I will go for a run and then...

Check out this Blog that my Aunt “runs” for her cousin who is in prision. He writes all post, she just acts as the webmaster since he has no access to the internet. It is an amazing view of an often forgotten world. http://barsstripes.blogspot.com/

Becoming Crazy...
Yesterday I made a crazy life decision to buckle down and finish my grad school program by August 2011, which means I will be finishing my two year program in a year and seven weeks. Why the sudden need to actually turn myself into a mad woman? Well, I have been feeling for months that I am lacking passion in my life. I work two jobs, I go to school, deal with LA traffic but nothing really shakes...

6 Days to Christmas and I have no idea what to get my Boo for Christmas. I am normally on top of these things. Maybe, I am trying to hard….
My 14 mile wake-up call...
I have been thinking a lot about my run yesterday, I ran 14 miles at about a 9:22 pace. I have not run that far in over a year and it is more amazing that I finished because I have had three serious celiac attacks in the past week and a half. I know stress can trigger my attacks, and I know I ate at a restaurant that I probably should not have but I am not actually sure why I am getting sick. On...

Rant:
Dear two “men” sitting next to me:
1) Don’t talk with your mouthful, you sounds like a cow and you look like a cow when you chew.
2) You are sitting NEXT to each other, why are you screaming.
3) I am trying to work, please please be quiet. I really don’t care about your classes next semester, your christmas shopping, the fact that you forgot your head phones, what you...

POVERTY | Pablo Neruda | The Captain's Verses
Ah you don't want to,
you're scared
of poverty,
you don't want
to go to the market with worn-out shoes
and come back with the same old dress.
My love, we are not fond
as the rich would like us to be,
of misery. We
shall extract it like an evil tooth
that up to now has bitten the heart of man.
But I don't want
you to fear it.
If through my fault it comes to your dwelling,
if poverty...
