Better Days

It's been awhile since I've posted. I tend to get a bit of the seasonal blues when the summer ends. This year I have vowed not to let it bring me down. The feelings were creeping in, but I've battled back by spending some extra time outside, reading some of the amazing blogs in our community which I will add links to, as I figure out how to do it. As you will find out, I am somewhat technically challenged. I've also read some great informative and entertaining books, especially for newbies.

I am also super-psyched about Team Race Athlete gearing up. I thought I would go nuts with all the emails coming out before they get the forum going, but honestly it has been really cool to read everyone's ideas and hear some stories, and that others are asking the same questions I have in my mind. I think it is really exciting to build this community and want to thank everyone for sharing all that they do. It makes such a difference.

Speaking of sharing, I want to encourage everyone to take a look at www.alswarriorpoet.com and check out the story of Jonathan Blais, the Blazeman. Wow! What an inspiration. His story is amazing and my thoughts, prayers and gratitude go out to him. The site is awesome as well. The music, words and pictures will get you moving. Thanks Team Blazeman. Keep up the good fight and I hope to battle right along with you next year.

I'll write back next week with a race report of the Phedippidations World-Wide Half Marathon, as well as the new yoga class I am attending tomorrow.

Have a superb weekend!

In Light,
April
