Got to know when to hold em and know when to fold em

People come and go throughout my life. Some by circumstance, some I hope never leave, and some that I've realized it's time to move away from. The last part is at times difficult to do and face, but these people need to be told a final goodbye. A part of me wishes I would've never said hello, but then again that's life ... no regrets. You live and learn ... learning what to do next time and not ignore the warning signs.

I've recently had to say goodbye to a person that has been in and out of my life for quite some time. Wasn't an easy choice, but in the end it's going to save me from that little devil on my shoulder. It was time to fold.

Growing up is tough and I'm thankful for the people I've chosen to surround myself with, even if I have to take a plane trip to see them. I consider them my best friends and my family. Those are the ones I will hold onto.

2010 Half Marathon Update

Just an update on the marathon ... I'm now officially registered so it's do or die! Hopefully not die, but perhaps pass out after the race is done!   It hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm signed up to walk/run 13.1 miles this September, but that's what I'm going to do!  Getting out there to train has been difficult for me, but I'm slowly getting it together.  I walked/ran a mile the other day around a track in about 17 or so minutes and I'm planning on signing up for some local 5Ks in the next few weeks.  The Pacific NW has been under attack by rain storms which make me want to stay inside and snuggle under the blankets.  Someone give me a push out the door!  I have about 3 months to get my act together ... sigh

all fall down

Ah life ... how you love to torture me so.  Seems that when something good happens to me and I'm feeling all happy go lucky for a few a few days, you creep up from behind and either whap me upside the head or pull the rug out from under me.  I should invest in some of those spy glasses that allows me to see what's going on behind me.  Though then you'd prolly drop something from up above.  sigh.
