running, life and living the dream

I stumbled across my blog the other day.  It’s not that I forgot it existed, it’s just that I had not thought about it in a long time. The craving to write and create used constantly pull at me, distracting me from work, family, and at times turning me catatonic and oblivious to the world around me.  Social media technology, having everything at my fingertips, seems to have taken its place in a world and time where being wired  24/7  is not looked at as an obsession, but second nature.  I am not a couch potato.  I live an active lifestyle. I run, I work out. But I am guilty of not being able to unplug! Why is this bugging me.  Idk?  I just feel at times I wasting to much time in fantasy instead of living and pursuing.  I am always thinking about the next big adventure.  But I also crave the stimulation of a good podcast, movie, show or an audio book.

Two Thousand Fifteen!   Can you believe it; Crazy how time flies.   The year started off great, especially after having one of the most relaxing Christmas and New Years seasons ever.   It was so nice to not have to rush from house to house.     We got to spend some quality time with the kids, and actually enjoy our home, which we have been in just over a year.    Okay, okay enough of the mushy stuff.   Time for the RUNNING SH%%! Having fun at the ARR Castle Hot Springs Run.  Photo Boston Brian Soto I Started off the year again with the  Castle Hot Springs  22 miler; 3 rd year in a row.    I love this race/run; Low key, great peeps, scenic, and challenging course.   The myth is that your finishing time for this race is your marathon time.   I tied my time from last year finishing in 3hr 45 min and change.   The whole mood was different this year, I put no pressure on m...

I have been slacking on my blog.  My original intent was to update at least bi-weekly, but life is busy. I have had a lot of hobbies/interest over the years but the one that has been constant is running.  I have been addicted since 2011.  I have had some ups an downs, mentally and physically, but it is still a passion burning deep inside of me!  I love it.. My last post was about the Javelina Jangover.  But prior to that was my April Zane Grey report.  I have had some adventures in between. Here is a quick look.  Kristen Steele's Birthday Run. 5/25/14 Competitive Loop, White Tanks  21 miles.  Good Times.  Kristen is a sweetheart and a friend to all.  She is very inspiring.   In between loops. Giles, Michelle, Kristen, Haley, Mike and others  Mt. Ord run near Payson.  Adam Livingston set this up.  Such an awesome time with good people and passionate ru...
