tis the season....

sorry about all the running talk

but

tis the season....

running is in my head right now:)

i run to prove to myself and my kids that it is possible to do something that is really, really hard regardless of age.

i run because i love having a goal and accomplishing it.

i run because i want my family to be proud of me.

i run because i want to be proud of myself.

i run for the peace. running allows my mind to take a break, wander, imagine.

i run because it makes me mentally tough.

i run to hear the rhythm of my feet hitting the ground, there is something peaceful and magical about that sound.

i run to be julie...for that small moment in time i don't have to be a mom, wife, trainer, neighbor, etc....i love being all those things, but running is a part of me that is my very own....hard to explain:)

i run so i can every so often open the box of a new pair of running shoes, it smells like potential....don't you think? i love thinking about how much potential is in that new pair of shoes.....weird i know.

so.....saturday i will run again for all these reasons, and many more.

i am excited. see you at the starting line!

and today

i finally decided to taper.
