Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

"You're still a rockstar" I whisper to myself as I take a multivitamin and crawl into bed at 9:45

My new motto


     I was texting with my friend, Sue, yesterday about the race....getting up so early, the freezing cold, walking/running a total of 20 miles including the race, etc. 
     Her response:
          This is what super-women do.
     (she's a good friend)

Rock and Roll Denver race weekend


     5 K yesterday am, half marathon today. Up at 3 am to eat, walk dog, leave a little after 430 to drive to light rail, race starts at 7 downtown.  It is 32 degrees, so there will be a lot of standing and walking around freezing in the cold waiting for the start, then I'll probably be hot and overdressed while running once the sun is out.  Hope all the bands are great and motivate me.

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.    Rose Kennedy

Rose, I'm feeling all three this morning.


Update
A lot of work for a couple of t-shirts and some bling, but I'm done.

Let it be I


     It only takes one person to make a change.

     I'm with Eminem.  (Although I don't appreciate rap, I loved his powerful anti-Trump rap. Google it.)

     I'm also drawing a line in the sand.
