This is the first time in a long time where i have NOTHING on my calendar!
Strange!!! I'm not sure if i like it or not.
No climbing planned, no trips planned, no races to get into....NOTHING! (nothing to train for)
And I feel a bit lonely...it is what it is i guess.
*sigh*
Ok, time to book up the calendar again........................

- “The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

MUD RUN 9/25/2010
Saturday, the 25th, was my first time ever running in the USMC Mud Run.
This course was very challenging and so much fun! I really enjoyed myself, even though at times I was hurting. I have been wanting to do this for 2 years now! I was really scared of it, but it wasn't that bad to be quite honest. Most of it was mental. I like getting out of my comfort zone...even if I am scared to do things. I still learn a great deal about myself. And most of the time, I learn that I am quite capable. That's an awesome thing to learn about yourself!!!
The team I was on was completely awesome too. Our team work was amazing. I'm so proud and honored to have such awesome friends in my life!
This was the 10 foot wall that we had to get over as a team:

We got Anne up first.
I was second to go. Oh my god! It was so hard getting over on top of the wall. Really? I thought this obstacle was going to be easier than it was.
Even getting Lauren up was pretty tough, and she weighed like nothing!
At one point, to get Lauren over the top, I pulled on her pants! LOL
None of us had ever done this race before. This was so much harder than the Warrior Dash back in May. Twice as many obstacles and more miles to run!!! All of it was marine style!!! hahaha
They were yelling at you at each obstacle. Crazy!

We did not skip any obstacles. Even the ones that were really hard...we spotted each other on all of them even if it meant only one person can do the obstacle at a time.
A lot of the teams got a faster time, but I personally think they skipped some obstacles?
;)
I was surprised at myself though and how much energy I had. Maybe it was the adrenaline? But I had so much energy. I also jogged most of it. I wasn't sure if I would be able to jog or run it, so I was really happy.

This was one of the best days ever!!! :)
I will definitely do this again next year.

Another message from TUT
What if, loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together... Would you still feel alone?
What if illness was just the signal a healthy body sent to urge clarification of your thoughts, feelings, and dreams... Would you still, at times, think of yours as diseased?
What if feelings of uncertainty and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be... Would you still feel disadvantaged?
What if mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get better than it's ever been before... Would you still call them mistakes and failures?
And what if poverty and lack were simply demonstrations of your manifesting prowess, as "difficult" to acquire as wealth and abundance... Would they still cause you to feel powerless?

an awesome quote
"your unacceptance is not an indication of my being wrong"
I saw this quote on a friend's Facebook page today.Friday, September 3, 2010
Happiness never comes from outside of us!
Rule #1: You never make others responsible for your own happiness!
In relationships:
"If you take your happiness and put it in someone else's hands, sonner or later, he or she will break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, she or he can take it away.
Then if happiness can only come from inside you and is the result of your love, you are responsible for your happiness...not someone else. We can never make anyone else responsible for our own happiness."
"When we go to the church to get married, the first thing we do is exchange rings. We put a star in someone else's hands, expecting that he or she is going to make you happy and vice versa. But it doesn't matter how much you love that person, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be. That is the mistake we make right from the beginning."
"We base our happiness on our partner, and it doesn't work that way. We make all those promises that we cannot keep, and we set ourselves up to fail."
You can be happy with someone because of the love that is coming out of that person. But as soon as you make him or her responsible for your happiness, they will break it. Because you cannot make someone else responsible for your happiness. This is the reason most relationships and marriages fail. And I know, because I've been in this situation before and had someone put me in this situation before.
