Pretty much every evening, my wife and I spend some time on our patio – or as we call it “patio time.” There’s a flock of seagulls (witty reference to 80s band intended) that hangs out at the shopping center near us, most of the time on the roof or circling around the area. Most evenings, they’re pretty vocal; and, if you close your eyes, it’s just like being at the ocean!

I believe in using races as motivators. It’s hard to keep an exercise program if you don’t have a significant goal in sight.

– Bob Greene, fitness instructor

Good one.  It’s why I have a goal to run at least one race each month…

I stumbled upon this gem from the AskLaurenFleshman.com website today at lunch:

Build your own confidence by not looking around at others too much and working with the body you have. It is hard work to do that, but in my opinion, THAT is the only success worth having.

No Knitting Zone*

“Stepping outside the comfort zone is the price I pay to find out how good I can be. If I planned on backing off every time running got difficult I would hang up my shoes and take up knitting.”

Desiree Davila

*No offense to the wonderfully-skilled knitters of the world…
