Life is Beautiful

Things have been crazy lately- a good crazy, and I'm heading in a positive direction to finish 2014 off strong. I've had several lows that have probably been some of the lowest points I've ever had, but overall this year has been my year. I started the year off in a job position I was ultimately unhappy with and feeling like I was nowhere near reaching my potential, and now I'm the Advertising Coordinator for Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay (which I absolutely love), teaching a writing class at the Academy of Art, volunteering as the publicity chair of Relay for Life- San Ramon, taking strides forward with Synergia now that we have our tax # from the IRS, and a few personal events that should happen very soon. I'm soooo excited and grateful for everything, and I absolutely, positively cannot wait to see where everything leads.

On another note, here are some pics from todays run. Relatively short, but have to build up my mileage at a minimum of a 10 min/mile pace for 9-11 miles. A friend asked me to pace him for an ultra he is doing in December. It makes me nervous but I'm confident that I can get it done. Haley managed to last the entire run today... I'm pretty sure it's because it was significantly cooler than usual, but I'll take it.

And a few from the weekend on my run in Emeryville. I absolutely adore Emeryville. It's suburban, but it's got a really cool combination of homes, warehouses, and art-minded people. It's such a beautiful combination.

I passed this sign and made me feel like I had run SO far. In reality it was only a couple blocks away.
