Be astonished.

Tell about it."

People fall forward to success.....Mary Kay Ashe


     I have been trying Chi running.....using gravity as my friend.....using a lean to fall forward with each step to "make running easy."  It isn't working for me yet, but I found the above quote funny and applicable, so felt the need to explain.

     I ran in the Santa Stampede 10 k yesterday.  First there was a little kid's run, then the 5 k which had lots and lots of families entered.  Of course Santa was the master of ceremonies, and there was a costume contest. I can see why it is such a popular event. 

     As I've said lots of times, I am not a good runner at all, just a runner.  But I loved seeing the age group winners.....men and women 75-79 looking decades younger than their ages.  There were no winners in the 80+ category, so maybe if I hold on for 14 more years I will have a chance....LOL.  Not that age group winners actually win anything.
