"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you'd better be running." Author Unknown

Its not how many times you fall....

But how many times you get back up!

Yes, I have been absent for a while. I fell off the wagon...

I won't give you any excuses, though I have many, and just tell you that today was a new day.

I got in 3.4 miles this morning... and it felt fantastic!! I have also eaten clean all day and drinking my water like a fish.

I have decided to do a 90 day challenge. Nothing fancy... basically its my own craziness that I am challenging myself to do. I will ....


  • Walk/run for 1 hour everyday
  • drink AT LEAST 64 oz of water every day
  • stick to my Paleo diet (clean eating) 

There is also a list of 'others'. For example, for the next 90 days I will....

  • take my multivitamins
  • do my daily bible study
  • keep the TV off a little longer everyday
So, there is a lot to work on everyday. I'm excited to say that Day 1 has gone by without a hitch and I am looking forward to 89 more :)

Happy New Year

Yesterday was a great end to 2013. I ran 3 miles, drank all my water and ate fairly good :)

Today is my rest day, which I am so thankful for as I was up late with the rest of the world and couldn't sleep in this morning. I am exhausted.

I know that today starts everyones resolutions... and I would like to remind everyone to keep it within reach! I know, big is better... but small is achievable!! Don't say you'll run 5 miles a week if you don't even run 1 mile a week now! Start with trying to run 1 mile a week... and by the end of the year you can say you reached your goal and most likely exceeded it!!!

My resolution?.... to be a better me, every day. :)
