Bucket List...



Bucket List...

 Have you ever watched the Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman? 

 Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman wind up in a hospital room together with only months to live and decide to take those final days and live them to the fullest. Check out this scene here: 

Do you have a bucket list?  What's on it? (Comment 1 thing below)

Do you share a few bucket list items with anyone else? Have you already started checking things off? 

A bucket list is like a life long goal journey that allows you to physically write out where you want to go and what you want to do with the time you have here on earth. We don't have a lot of time when it comes right down to it, so use it the best you can! 

The bible says in John 10:10 that "the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I (Jesus) have come that they may have life and have it to the full!"

I love this verse because Jesus is telling us to enjoy life! We should be able to enjoy the earth He created and the people He has put in our lives! What better way to get our priorities in line then to write it down on paper like in the bucket list. 

I found an awesome website that you can do this on as well and can see who else is doing similar goals you are. Ironically it's called bucketlist.org. I just started mine today. Check it out here. 

Paul Coelho said, "One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now!" 

C.S. Lewis said, "You are never to old to set another goal or dream a new dream. 

What is on your bucket list? 

Nothing? Then start one today! 

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years." -Abraham Lincoln

Preparation...

Image
This week has been seemed to go by a little slower then the others... Maybe it's because it's been raining on and off all week or because it's the summer and that's just how it is. I haven't had a whole lot to do at work and for the most part my house has stayed clean. The normal things I do every week are done, so now what do I do? Prepare...but prepare for what? If you have set your goals and are pursuing them, you can start there and begin to prepare to accomplish those things. One of my GOALS for this year is to run in a Spartan Race , so on Fathers Day I "bit the bullet" and  signed up. I was planning on signing up for the sprint race (4-6 miles), however the coupon I had only covered the full race (8-10 miles). These races aren't cheap so I figured why not go for it and just prepare a little harder. Good thing it isn't until October 21st and I have a good bit of time to prepare ! What are you preparing for? If you have a goal

Training...

The Peachtree Road Race is tomorrow... Ask me if I'm ready...YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!! Here's why... I've been training for this 10k since the beginning of the year. I've really been training for longer then that. I put together a training schedule at the beginning of the year and even though my 10k was supposed to be on July 1st, I believe the Peachtree will be sufficient. 10k equals 6.2 miles and in the middle of the summer it will be a little tough. I am currently running nearly 3 miles a day and a few weeks ago ran two 10k's in one week. I kept them both in less than an hour and hope to do the same tomorrow if all goes well. Even though I've been training for the past 6 months, I'm still a little nervous. I don't know exactly what to expect. Last Thanksgiving my family (and Awesome Texas Family) ran/walked the Dallas Turkey Trot which was just a 5k. It was the largest race I have ever been a part of with around 25,000 participants. The

Stuck...

Have you ever been stuck? This morning it happened to me! I took the past two days off from running and blogging, simply because I had a few late nights that led to later wake-up times. I wasn't able to run or blog those mornings because of these all day events. These are my excuses, which are straight up baloney. I could have run in the afternoons and honestly blogged anytime during the day. I'm not sure when I lost that motivation, but it happened. Last night I went to be super early in hopes for a great re-start to an early morning run and blog. Then it happened...I got stuck. I got stuck inside my house because it was raining uncontrollably outside! Ahhhhhh!!!! I just wanted to go run to get back in rhythm with my week to week schedule and I couldn't. The rain wasn't the only obstacle, it was also full blown thunderstorm out. I sat on the couch defeated, wondering if I should go back to bed or figure this thing out. After a few minutes of contemplating
