Picnic Season

I just realized that with only six days left in the month there is no way I’m going to meet my walking/running goal milage of 150.  In fact, I am pretty much failing at all of my goals this month.

At this point I have three options:

  1. Re-asses and change my goals accordingly
  2. “Shoot for the moon.  Even if [I] miss [I’ll] land among the stars.” (Brian Littrel)
  3. Throw in the towel
I choose the second option.
There’s no way I’ll cover 44 miles over the next 6 days but I may as well let the goal motivate me to hit the pavement (and trails!).
One reason my milage is down is because we’ve been riding our bikes to the clinic more often than walking these days.  I’ve still been covering those miles, just more swiftly!
Yesterday was the perfect day; exercise, great food, good friends, gardening, and lots of sunshine.
T’was a fantastic start to the beginning of the picnic season!

My Life in Six Word Memoirs

Check out this awesome story I heard today on six-word memoirs.

The premise is simple; the practice is more challenging.   I narrowed it down by choosing a few specific areas of my life to write memoirs about.

Birthday

29 no regrets, future looks bright.

Love

Farm girl falls for Renaissance man.

Running

Sneakers, ipod, watch; I’ve got this.

Gracefulfitness

Thank you body, thank you body.

Food

Fresh and real; where it’s at.

Sisters

You make me giggle late night.

You are me looking at me.

Self

I like the contradiction of me.

Highlight the best, accept the rest.

Dance

Two years break did only good.

Metaphors for life inside of life.

You can read lots more six-word memoirs here.
