I love being a runner

The day started at 3:15 am when I woke up, hopped in the shower - put my running clothes on and hopped in my truck for a hour/thirty minute drive to Bayshore Drive in Tampa. I was able to find a parking spot just about a mile away so I parked and started walking toward the starting line where thousands of people were waiting to begin. So among all those people I found my way to the 2:20/4:40 pacers. The Full Moon was hanging right over the starting gate - it was about 36 degrees. I could hear a woman singing the national anthem, (couldn't see her though - the 2:20/4:40 group is a long way back there.) A gun went off and everyone cheered, started running and I said to myself - I love being a runner.

I finished the 1/2 marathon at 2:27:24 - I didn't train very well for this one - my butt and legs reminded me of that at about mile 10 - but I pushed on! After all when your butt/legs hurt you can be sure they will look better in those jeans the next day and on top of that - according to my garmin - I burned 1388 calories! Not a bad way to spend a couple hours.
Notice the girls name that was waiting with me at the starting line. Too bad I couldn't find someone named Smith to stand at the end!

A different type of perseverence.

You will meet challenges and adversities in your life that seem to hard to bare.

The person who pushes forward and keeps going once the effort gets painful is the person who will achieve true happiness.

You ran 26.2 miles, 16 miles of that Marathon on a hurt knee.

You can do this.

Once it gets painful

Once it gets painful

I love this!

I love this!

Live and Learn

Place it in God's hands, whatever happens is what was meant to happen. Trust that.

Every day you have a choice. Use your words and actions to tear someone down or build someone up. What will you choose?

A lie is a lie, A big lie or a tiny little white lie, to someone else, somewhere, it is a huge lie. From this point forward don't be part of anyone's big or little lies.

Start everyday with a Cooper Smile and your life will be fantabulous. Anything else in life is just a bonus.

There is absolutely nothing more important than family. Everything else will, without a doubt, fade away in time. Family never fades.

Learn from your mistakes, Ask for forgiveness for your mistakes, Never make that same mistake again, Be thankful that Forgiveness comes in the least expected places.

When your given a second chance, take it and treasure it.

Surround yourself with people that celebrate you, not tolerate you.

Make all your decisions based on what you believe is right, what you really feel in your heart.
Stand up for yourself, Always stand up for your family

Place everything and everyone in your life on a list from -10 to +10. (very bad to the very best) Let go of everything that isn't on the positive side!

Tell the person you love the most, I love you, all the time, but always remember to make it the last thing said before you go to sleep

Some people enter your life as blessings, some people enter as lessons. Know the difference

Be Brave, just get it done. It will all work out in the end.

Make sure your actions and your words portray the person that Cooper is proud to call "His Mommy".

Come what may and love it!

Learn to Laugh at Adversity, Things that trouble you won't seem so troubling if you Learn to Laugh, and the Memories will be sweeter.

Be thankful for everything God has given you.

Be patient, but remember patience does not mean sitting around waiting for something to happen, patience requires actively working toward a worthwhile goal all the while not getting discouraged if results do not some swiftly.
