Ok, next month the Canyonlands Half Marathon opens up. Im excited to have a goal again. I realize that I need something to aim for in my life. I do better when I can focus on something, have a purpose. I wonder who will run with me. I think maybe Carol Dennis. I will talk with Krissi & Tommy and see if they are game. I imagine my THF friends will be there again in 2010.

I know that change is good and I do have what it takes to keep going forward with the things in my life like the HARD WORK of getting healthy. Why are old ways so hard to break? I know I am made new, so whats up with the self-flesh-fight? makes me mad at times and so tired at others.

However, once in a while little things happen that remind me how good this all is. In Denver last week I was able to buy two pieces of clothing that look great on me. My belly is still a problem zone but I found a hot pair of pants that look and feel great. not my typical cut and I really FEEL good wearing them. The Sweater is a zip front and is form fitting and hides the bad stuff nicely. I just feel good wearing them. It feels good to feel good. I like feeling good about myself (not to be confused with arrogance). It took me 41 years to get here!

Ok, so the last urgent thing on my plate is RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC. A Local Ultra runner athlete said he will meet with me and try and give me some pointers, advice, help??? with moving forward and has some family that he thinhks might be able to help us out. The train is leaving the station. Who's On board???

Let me know if you want to be a part of hosting races that ultimately help rescue young girls out of sexual slavery. We are RUNNING AGAINST TRAFFIC!
