Where you headed?



'God will never take you to what he can't take you through'


So I'm on the move in the morning I will be heading to my new training location.

I'm excited, nervous and all the other emotions that run through your veins.

I will give you an update in a few when I settle in.

I'm back



So it’s been a minute since I blogged about track and what I’ve been up to. For good reason. I have been putting things in place to enable me to purse my next endeavours.




It’s been a learning curve for me. During this period I think I really have grown. I have come to understand my love and appreciation for track and field. But, have welcomed the rest that I have given my body. The last time saw my spikes was the Crystal Palace Grand Prix. Way back in July some time.





I’ve lounged around the house. Caught up with friends and family. Even disappeared for a few weeks. Just got on a plane and dipped out to hotter climates. Once, twice ok three times. It’s good to have international friends. LOL.





And now it’s back to the grind. I’m on the move again (more about that in the coming weeks)




I have been given an opportunity to become friends with an individual who in my opinion is a legend. Its funny how many years ago I read papers and watched video by this person and to suddenly be talking to them on the phone. WOW

So basically I’m on the move. By the end of the month I will have dusted off my spikes and be back in training.



I will say this only once and begrudge even broaching this subject at all. I’m 35 and still want to run. Hell yeah I said it and what? I’m sure a few people will have opinion and comment. I say cool. Whatever!!!



I have a new coach, new approach, and a new attitude.


Let the good times roll.

I love this one.....................one of her best




A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

one old love
she can imagine
going back to...
and one who reminds
her how far she has come...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

enough money within her
control to move out and
rent a place of her own
even if she never wants
or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

something perfect to wear if
the employer or date of her
dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

a youth she's content
to leave behind...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

a past juicy enough that
she won't mind retelling

it in her old age...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

a set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and a black
lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

one friend who always makes
her laugh... and one who lets
her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

a good piece of furniture
previously owned by anyone
else in her family..

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

eight matching plates, wine
glasses with stems, and a recipe
for a meal that will make her
guests feel honored..

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

a feeling of control over
her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without
losing herself...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend
without ruining the friendship...
and how to change a tire!!!!!!!

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

when to try harder... and
when to walk away...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't change the
length of her calves, the width
of her hips, or the nature of her
parents...

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that her childhood may not
been perfect...but its
over...

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....

what she would and wouldn't
do for love anymore...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to live alone... even if
she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't
take it personally...

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her
soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she can and can't
accomplish in a day..
a month...and a year...
