Sycamore Canyon Park Marathon - Marathon # 60

Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park is located in Riverside, California. Sycamore Canyon has awesome views of the surrounding mountains. The trail was technical and hard. The last two miles I got heat exhaustion and I managed to finish 7:21:40.

This is John Bozung! John ran a marathon on all 7 Continents, becoming the 9th person in the world to complete this "feet", and one of only 2 people to have done all 7 in one calendar year. John's journey is unbelievable and amazing! Check out his journey: http://www.squawpeak50.com/

This is pretty Laura and she now runs her marathons in "five finger". Nice to see you Laura!

I OPEN NEW DOORS TO LIFE: Ahead of me is a continuous corridor of doors -- each one opening to a new experience. As I move forward, I see myself opening various doors on wonderful experiences that I would like to have. I trust that my inner guide is leading me and guiding me in ways that are best for me, and that my spiritual growth is continuously expanding. No matter which door opens or which door closes, I am always safe. I am eternal. I will go on forever from experience to experience. I see myself opening doors to joy, peace, healing, prosperity, love, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, freedom, self-worth, and self-esteem. It is all here before me. --Louise L. Hay--

Dirty Dozen 12 Hour Run - Marathon #59

Dirty Dozen 12 Hour Run was held at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline Park in Pinole, California. The Course consists of 3.1 mile loop on dirt fire trails. The course had nice views of the shoreline, bridges and mountains. The dirt trail also went through beautiful fragrant eucalyptus groves. I did 10 laps (31 miles) and finished 8:26:25.

Val, Marathon Maniac #1057 has done 3 ultras and 4 marathons this year. Val ran 49 miles. Awesome Val!

Blessed: Giving and Receiving!

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

1 Peter 4:10

I FOLLOW MY INNER WISDOM...My inner wisdom knows all the answers. Sometimes it is scary to know that, because the answer I get inside may be quite different from what my friends or family want me to do. Yet I know inwardly what is right for me, and if I follow this inner wisdom, I am at peace with my own being. I support myself in making the right choices for me. When I am in doubt, I ask myself: Am I coming from the loving space of the heart? Is this a decision that is loving for me? Is this right for me now? The decision I make at some later point --a day, a week, or a month later -- may no longer be the right choice, and then I can change it. I ask in every moment: Is this right for me? And I reply: I love myself, and I am making the right choices. --Louise L. Hay--

Dirty Dozen 12 Hour Run was well organized, excellent aid stations, nice tech shirt and the hardware, (Medal) Beautiful!!! Brazen Racing puts on many events throughout the year. Thank you Race Director Sam for a great race.

Keep Believing in your Dreams!

LET YOUR HEART SHOW YOU THE WAY Listen to the song in you. It's there in whatever puts stars in your eyes and makes your heart sing. Listen to your feelings and you will hear who you are and what you must do. Listen to your needs and you will know where to find what you are looking for. Listen to the wisdom within. It is trying to lead you to your destiny. Listen to the song in you and your life will be full of harmony. You will be complete and at peace and happier than you have ever been - if only you will Listen to the song in you. - Nancye Sims -

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. - Maya Angelou-

Each of us brings to the world unique talents, gifts and abilities. Even if you don't know what it is, or value what you do, someone, somewhere, will benefit from your presence. No one can do what you do exactly the way you do it. It is this uniqueness that makes you valuable to the world. We are each as unique and valuable as the other. It was designed that way. A gift from God. Gifts are not given on the basic of race or gender. As a matter of truth, gifts come in many shapes, sizes and colors. When you do what you do, exactly the way you do it, you are sharing God's gifts, bestowed for the good of the world. -Iyanla Vanzant-

Stars and Stripes Marathon - #56

The Stars and Stripes marathon is day one of my first back to back triple. Jim and Larry are both on their 11th round of the 50 states. Amazing! Just Amazing! GREAT ACHIEVERS... I am fascinated by other people's creativity and productivity. I am in awe of their dedication and determination to fulfill their talents and desires. Great achievers are those who follow the yearnings of their souls. They are those who challenge themselves with daily sacrifices and relentlessly endure the inconveniences and consequences that occur as a result of their goals. They are focused on developing themselves, mastering their unique abilities, and making their dreams a part of their lifestyles. They create their own lives by never wasting a single day and possessing the inner strength to carry on through all of life's changes with an open mind and a hopeful heart.
-Deena Beisser- I admire you Jim & Larry.
