I was having a discussion with a friend the other day when two disturbing questions – at least disturbing to me – came up in the conversation. When do we face reality? When do we let the dream go?

I decided I was going to go looking for pictures to go with this post before I started writing but I have yet to do that. My holidays future are taking a new twist so I want to remember all the good times from Christmases Past. Holidays from my childhood I have no pictures of,… Continue reading Holiday Memories

Okay, I did it. No, the race did not kill me. I just had a very busy weekend with the race included so haven’t been around much. I had told myself, as I have never raced before, that I would be happy with finishing this 5K in under 40 minutes. I would be ecstatic if… Continue reading My First Race
