Yellow Socks & a Bit of Advice

Today I am wearing my new yellow socks for my run! I have decided fun running clothes are what is keeping me motivated so I am going to indulge that for my health's sake! Last week I decided to I needed some new socks so instead of buying boring white socks I got a fun pack of bright colors. Today, I chose the yellow ones! Bright and Happy Feet! Still no new shoes yet :(

Also, an old man inspired me to what might be my greatest bit of advice EVER! While on the last part of my run a man slowed his car down and said "Hey there little lady; do you see what's behind you?" I turned around and looked and replied "Uh yeah dark clouds?" And he shrugged his shoulders and drove on. What I wanted to add was- do you see what's in front of me? BLUE SKIES!!!! And as I finished my run I decided that HAS to be something to live by- Don't look at the dark gray skies behind you but focus on the bright blue skies in front of you!! Now I realized he didnt know if I was running away from my home or if I was close to home and he wanted to warn me of the brewing storm heading my way but I chose to take the warning as a teachable moment to garner my focus on my future and not to worry or fret on my past!

Today's stats: 42 days running. 4weeks training for a half marathon. 93.18 miles run in 17 hours 2 mins 05 secs over the course of 23 runs.
