Rainy day thoughts

Four days of pure sunshine and warm weather. Did you go out and enjoyed it? Got back to some decent miles with the running. Thinking ahead to planning on doing a half Marathon. I must be crazy. But it is the thought of accomplishing something new. Something that I never thought I could or even wanted to do. Scary-yes but some what exciting. Still thinking about new hobbies for the winter. You know me I hate the winter. I love to be outside in the sun. Michigan is not the place for that. Oh I have plans to putting on the cross country skis on but that can only happen if there is snow. And I will keep up on running but it gets DARK out there now. Something to be said about running in the dark in the spring verses the winter. In the spring you know that it is going to get warmer and lighter as times goes on not the same to be said for the winter. If you recall I started this running adventure last January. And I ran to the mail box and back. Very slow start because I was not sure that I wanted to do this. Never really went through a whole winter. Not sure what to expect. Running in slush hmmm not sure at all.

I am going to join the runner club in the area. Hoping to get ideas and excited by some long distance runs. Maybe even hook up with ways of getting a tread mill at an affordable price. Tryed it a few times not so sure if I like that type of running. I can see how it can have its benefits in the cold hard months.

Cancun right around the corner. Looking forward to that trip. And turning the big 40! Feeling pretty good about that too. Looking back on the 30's. Some days not so kind but feel good about where I am in life. High roads and low roads, dirt and paved. All in all a learning lesson in life and the after life. Where I want to be and where I never want to go again. Better off that I traveled the way I did. Pride in a good way. Thanks to the many that stuck by my side. For those who had to go that's ok too. We all have choices and we have to live by the ones we think are right. I know many times that you questioned some of mine but they where what I needed to do at the time. One thing I did learn is never say never. You may say one thing but until you walk those shoes you never know what you will do or who you do it with. Times heals all wounds. Shattered hearts become whole again and love creeps in when we aren't even looking. All in God's hands. All in God's plans.

Are you enjoying your journey? Me too!
