I have a friend that is running The Boston Marathon tomorrow.
Many see him living his dream, but have no idea the road he has traveled to get there.
If you know a Boston Marathoner, you should consider it an honor to have met them.
This blog post is for my friend & fellow runner, Julia Cantley of Julia Cantley Photography.
I just returned from a much needed run with her at her gym.
I almost didn’t go, because I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO! Then I thought, “If I don’t have 20-30 minutes to take time for myself then I’m just TOO BUSY!”
At the end of our run, she mentioned that I really needed to make a new blog entry. I’m always surprised when she says that, but its nice that she notices. 🙂
Again, I said….“I have just been too busy.”
So, for Julia, I will share my thoughts from yesterday. I typed it, but I just didn’t feel like sharing….I get that way sometimes.

Happy Chilton Runners @ 5:15am ~ “Some of the best people I have the pleasure of knowing & running with.”
I am reminded of a post that I wrote last year.
When I run, I get to live for a moment in my dream world. It’s one of my favorite places to be.

Happy Running Everyone!

For your listening pleasure:
This was my response concerning not showing up at our 5:15am group run today.
I typed it….but that’s not really what I wanted to say!
I wanted to type my long list of excuses. There are some really good ones!
Would you like to hear them?
No?
…I didn’t think so.
So possibly I typed the wrong statement today.
I should have typed, “I have a whole host of excuses, but none are valid enough to excuse my choice to stay in the bed this morning.”
Or simply:
Sometimes that’s hard to admit.
