Well I guess this begins my Blog. Most recently, for the past two years, I've been training to gain enough speed and endurance to qualify for Boston. With three weeks before my planned marathon I tore my miniscus (actually they believe it was torn already) and it was three weeks out when it "got me". So now I am building back up. I am not back to the point I was before but of course this has set me back some. Especially mentally. My struggle now is not with my body but my mind.
Do I care enough about Boston to work as hard as I have the last two years? I struggle with whether or not it's really that important to me or if I would rather just enjoy running for running.
Problem is when I get into a race, even if I SAY it's only for fun, I feel competative. I'm not sure I can run "only for fun". Not that I am that fast mind you, but in my own age division I am not shabby.
So I will struggle through this part of getting my mind in order and once that is accomplished I will see where it leaves me. Then maybe I can share some insight with anyone who wants it.
If anyone wants to share insight with me I'm all for that too!

- This blog used to chronicle my running experiences, many of which are inspiring and uplifting. Some of which are frustrating. Now this blog will chronicle all of the activities I enjoy and the inspiration I find here in our Colorado home. Growing up in New Mexico the mountains have always called to me. But Texas is where we moved when we graduated college. We had, after all, to make some money! We stayed in Texas much longer than expected and it was good to us and to our children who were raised there. But the dream was always to get back to the land we love. And so in 2016 we moved from Texas to Colorado and life here has been beyond our expectations. I will try to keep up with writing, if for no other reason than to help me express my love for these mountains the activities they give us.

Cool start. We need to get more involved. I think this would be fun. Do you think Terry can have an area with each of our web addresses so we could easily link to them?
