https://astiggirl.wordpress.com/page/2

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. Newer posts →. 2013 – Reflections. I’ve been reflecting back over the past few months of my very short-lived running journey because a friend asked me a very simple, yet so complicated question last week, “Do you like to run? One would think the obvious answer would be a resounding “YES! December 9, 2013. Get Over It – A Response. So yesterday I sitting at my computer doing a little work, and I hopped on over t...

Get Over It – A Response | His Eye is on the Sparrow

https://astiggirl.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/get-over-it-a-response/comment-page-1

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. The path to 26.2. 2013 – Reflections →. Get Over It – A Response. The article in short is a rant about how runners run for the sole purpose of “being seen”. They put stickers of their achievements on their cars to pat themselves on the back, and to let everyone know how awesome they are. Seriously…I don’t know who peed in his Cheerios, but yeah. He wrote it, so here we go. I can’t even do 200 meters! 8221; Yet ...

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. The Blessing of NOT finishing the MCM. Earlier this year I put in for the Marine Corps Marathon lottery. I didn’t get in. It was the one big race that I really, really wanted to do. So when June rolled around and they opened up the transfer program, I began a hunt to get a bib. Fortunately, I was able to secure one. I was beyond freaking stoked. I had a great time visiting the area on Friday night and all day S...

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. Angels, Demons, and Manure – The Cowtown. 8220;Smile for your Mother” →. 5:29:59. That was the time goal. The first time I ever set one for myself. It’s just not the space in which I like to operate. But, I figured why not just bite the bullet for once. So I told my coach I had 2 objectives for Chicago: hit the time goal and not get injured. But all you see is what the numbers tell you. And therefore you fi...

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. The Best YES that came from NO →. 8220;Smile for your Mother”. I know it’s out there. “God, just don’t let me be so about myself that I miss what You have for me.”. As He often does, sometimes the stories are immediately clear, and I know that is the person who I am supposed to notice that day. Other times, well, He isn’t quite as clear. Today was one of those days. But as I went on and had just passed the mile...

The Best YES that came from NO | His Eye is on the Sparrow

https://astiggirl.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/the-best-yes-that-came-from-no

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. 8220;Smile for your Mother”. The Blessing of NOT finishing the MCM →. The Best YES that came from NO. What do I do with that? How do you decide where to go from NO? NO has brought me face to face with myself in a way that I’ve never really dealt with before. What has gone right the last 8 months has been being asked the hard questions. Why had I done what I had done the past 3 years? But as my kids have venture...

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. XXVIII – The Louisiana Marathon. Angels, Demons, and Manure – The Cowtown →. Gone with the Wind – The Texas Half. Needless to say I was less than thrilled. The next event in the order for me was the Tyler Rose which I had no desire to run. Wasn’t on my radar at all. I just didn’t want to run it. I know, I know. I LIVE HERE. Home field advantage right? WHERE THE FREAK IS THIS THING? However, they were giving awa...

Angels, Demons, & Manure – The Cowtown | His Eye is on the Sparrow

His Eye is on the Sparrow. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt. Gone with the Wind – The Texas Half. Angels, Demons, and Manure – The Cowtown. The kids and I head up very early Saturday morning. The event started in like a fairgrounds type area with multiple agri buildings, and we really didn’t know where to go to get our packets. Hard to tell. Manure is EVERYWHERE! What’s that smell? Horse poo, kids. And lots of it! And in that moment, I had become THAT GIRL. The one I...
