My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Thursday, March 13, 2014. Instead of screaming, I ran.". 8220;I had to do something to shake up my life and get back some sense of control and trust in the world and along the way fill the hollow space. I needed to rebel against these negative forces, to scream so loud and for so long that the anger living inside me would evacuate forever. But instead of screaming, I ran.”.

My So Called Grown Up Life: Travel Healthy (or “healthier”)

http://mysocalledgrownuplife.blogspot.com/2014/03/travel-healthy-or-healthier.html

My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Sunday, March 9, 2014. Travel Healthy (or “healthier”). Pack an empty water bottle. When I was stuck in the airport for supper (airport delays) I needed a healthy choice so I grabbed a subway salad (and filled my water bottle up from their machine) and a Chobani greek yogurt. You can also easily find whole fruit (apples, bananas) or fresh fruit cups (in airports) to grab for your bag for the flight (just be prepared it&#821...

My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Looking Back and Forward. I wrote this post on the plane yesterday but didn't have time to post when I was dealing with the snowstorm last night. This year I'm flying back from California to a different life. The weight of the world I carried last year is a memory. This year I found myself sipping cocktails and considering a life in sunny California. Or maybe the Carolinas? Do I struggle ever?

http://mysocalledgrownuplife.blogspot.com/2013/08/marathon-training.html

My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Tuesday, August 13, 2013. So I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I signed up for my first full marathon (eeek) in the midst of the hardest battle I’ve ever had to face in my twenty-six years of life. I say no. I say it was the greatest thing to do because two things have kept me going through the last 6 months: amazing family&friends and running. Does that mean it’s been easy? Training isn’t easy; I just said this we...

My So Called Grown Up Life: By The Grace of God...

http://mysocalledgrownuplife.blogspot.com/2014/01/by-grace-of-god.html

My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Monday, January 20, 2014. By The Grace of God. Thought I wasn’t enough. Found I wasn’t so tough. Layin’ on the bathroom floor. We were living on a fault line. And I felt the fault was all mine. Couldn’t take it anymore. By the grace of God (there was no other way). I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay). I put one foot in front of the other. And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay. I know I am enough. I forgave&#...

My So Called Grown Up Life: Life Goes On..

http://mysocalledgrownuplife.blogspot.com/2013/10/life-goes-on.html

My So Called Grown Up Life. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down and take time to write. So I’m going to do my best to recap life a little bit. I PR’ed (barely) at Virginia Beach Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon – 1:55:45. The heat and humidity were awful but some highlights of the race were:. My parents and nephews cheering with signs at Mile 6. The freezer pops that people decided to hand out around mile 11 on the course (amazing).
