Fridge Magnets Date : August 15, 2010
An indicator that I'm living the life I dreamed.
Nope, no race. In fact, no running at all this weekend. Yes, I know, it’s shocking. Sometimes, one of my other priorities needs more attention than usual and this time, it’s the house. I wanted to get it ready-er for my family to visit in September and also needed to work out some details for the Cumberland Trail 50k, since I’ll be gone for two weeks to France and UTMB, then the following weekend to Superior Sawtooth 100. It was frustrating knowing Rob was at Howl at the Moon 8-hr and my local friends were running in the Smokies, but one thing that kept me okay with it all was seeing all the fridge magnets on trips through the kitchen between drywall mudding, window-trim sanding and yard weedwhacking. It reminded me of all the places I’ve been and races I’ve run, and the ones I have coming up. It’s a happy spot, full of good memories and the promise of more.
