Now, off to run 5 miles. How many miles are you running today?
May your next run be a good one. Rebecca
I’m struck by clarity when I run. I mean really struck. Like bolt of lightening struck. It’s an amazing feeling to have an issue clobbering me for days and then shazzam, I go for a run and I get it. I don’t know if that means I have a bit of glue stuck in my head, my heart or my neurological pathways, that keeps me from processing issues to their completion, or if for me, running just makes me focus on whatever is most on my mind so I deal with it!
I listened to a friend tell me the story of finding some questionable items in her husband’s pile of debris from his pockets that made her worry that he might be cheating. I remember as she told me, we were at the 4-mile marker of a 6-mile run. We had reached the top of a hill. I looked at her. I knew. She was right. I didn’t know her or her husband that well, but her suspicion had to be right on. I just knew it.
I spoke to another friend during a very quick run about her need to leave her husband. She couldn’t bring herself to do it yet. But she felt strongly that she needed to act. I felt in my toes that she was absolutely correct.
And then another friend confided in me that she knew she loved this fellow and that they were to marry. Not right away. But she knew he was the one. I was the only one she told. And yes, she shared this with me while we ran a quick, 2-mile run on a warm, spring day.
Maybe we all get a little clarity on a good run. Go out and get yours today. I’m off to find mine.
May your next run be a good one.

We visited friends in Philly this weekend. We had a blast telling stories, eating yummy food, and watching the kids have fun together after not seeing each other for years. Best thing for me was that I got in a good run right in the middle. I didn’t have a lot of time, since I didn’t want to disappear for too long. So I took off in search of the best hill I could find. It was just a mile away. A gradual climb at first and then a steep finish, for about a half a mile. Perfect. Plus, in true Philly fashion, it offered me views of hills, historical homes and happy people. I loved it. I ran pretty fast and pretty hard for 30 minutes. For me, it was just what I needed to enjoy sharing more stories, eating more food and having fun playing with all six kids!
Go Steelers!
May your next run be a good one.

So all you peeps out there who, like me, enjoyed the bliss of running today and came up with a fabulous idea because of it, here’s to you! For all you people who procrastinated one more day, get off that couch and hit it… the road, the track, the treadmill… get out there and RUN! You’ll be glad you did. I sure am.
Treadmill running usually drives me crazy, but not today. It was all about running faster and breathless, until my legs flew beneath me like an 8 year-old girl running for a fly ball she desperately wants to catch but knows she’s likely to drop it. Panicked. Frantic. And awkward.
That was me. Today. On the old treadmill.
And it was fabulous.
I even conjured up a terrific idea for the holiday season. My girls are going to love it! More on that later…
May your next run be a good one.
Rebecca
