Very refreshing. <br /><br />I can't wait to see you rock a 5K this year!Kimberly https://www.blogger.com/profile/08159387703524634028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-46617512889450856172015-01-28T12:12:39.747-05:002015-01-28T12:12:39.747-05:00The snow was such a bummer!

It was around the anniversary of the first women's Olympic Marathon and she told an inspiring story about seeing it with her mom in LA in 1984. More importantly she reminded us that we are all role models and heros to someone for our running and sportsmanship. She is my fave! Just love her! We took silly pics, too.

The snow and ice we got all afternoon and evening made it unsafe to make the 2.5+hour trip. <br /><br />Maybe someday I'll get to meet her. She is just so REAL. And such an inspiration to me as a runner, mama, wife, coach, and entrepreneur! I'm so glad you were there.

I wasn't overwhelmed by her list of achievements, I was simply inspired to go after my own. <br /><br />Also, I'm sorry you didn't get any of that cheesecake ...Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686124721531446007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-49407808799461145882015-01-26T17:10:11.672-05:002015-01-26T17:10:11.672-05:00^ YES! your hair looks super cute and I love the p...^ YES! your hair looks super cute and I love the picture of you two together :)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486563377965503697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-25422707069221636162015-01-26T16:24:16.639-05:002015-01-26T16:24:16.639-05:00You seem to go to some really fun events.

I got one of those "Believe" journals for Christmas and started using it in January. I've always enjoyed a good journal. Since having kids and being married I don't write in a journal like I used to. I underestimated how much I would enjoy using one for training. I like that it redirects my attention to focus on my intentions for the week and then looking back on those intentions at the end of the week. Make an adjustment if necessary and do the same thing the following week. Using yours for your comeback sounds like an awesome idea!Cook.Clean.RUN.Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836763535682478629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-52457567596317227952015-01-26T15:36:56.577-05:002015-01-26T15:36:56.577-05:00I really loved how she didn't talk about Oisel...I really loved how she didn't talk about Oiselle or Nike either. I also really liked how she said that when she narrowed her world to just running, only that, she was really miserable. But when she opened it up to running and marriage and business and doing road races for fun and engaging in the community she was happier AND a more successful runner. <br /><br />I also liked the cheesecake.<br /><br />And you and Tami.Kim Mierauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460318956924655083noreply@blogger.com
