I'm baaaaaack...

We all have the same basic needs, but different personalities, different reactions to various situations, and most importantly different methods of acquiring what we need and want. So, in order to get what we need, most people set a goal. To achieve the goal, we believe different things to inspire us. The influences we were exposed to as a child can change our mindset greatly. We are different people, with different goals and beliefs because we are one of the few, if not the only, species that can have different goals and beliefs, and we should admire that amongst each other.

I had SO much fun doing 50 things in my 50^th year that since that adventure ended, life has been, dare I say it, boring. I have been contemplating some new type of adventure, an exciting or remarkable experience, something fun to look forward to, setting some new goals for myself, etc. As most, if not all of you know, in the last year I have had both my knees replaced and have been down and out for a while. Well, I have my new adventure, something many of my friends can do with me if you dare…I want to do one organized 5K a month for the next year…yep, you read that right, one 5K a month for the next year, and I want YOU to do one with me.

So check this out if you dare:  http://www.runningintheusa.com and if you are up for the challenge and have any preferences, let me know and we can do a 5K together!
