Re: A year of not running: being happy when the shit hits the fan

Sue, this post has stuck with me since I first read it. I've thought about it a few times since then. I struggle in many of the same ways you do, but the line that got me was this:

"...instead of distracting yourself from your feelings via whatever means you traditionally do (Facebook? Cookies? Another work out when you really don’t need one?)…just hang with them. Let them be. Give them some room to breathe."

Thank you for sharing, I love that you are learning to be still and know that you are good. And I'm glad to see you are back at it writing. :)

I once forgot my password for our VPN while out of town for a work conference. It was quite a pain for IT to help guide me through the reset from afar.

It's too much sometimes! I like low-key socialization.

LOL our old house leaned so bad we had to put something under the front legs of the dresser to keep the drawers from opening up!

I do enjoy learning as I go :) I've gotten along this far doing just that. But I would like to finish a degree at some point. Thank you for helping me open my eyes to the fact that it shouldn't be done just to prove something.

Thanks, Shayla... I have been ok with it all these years, but I feel 'unfinished' in some way. I probably won't use the degree I get, anyway. Heh.

Heheh. I don't know who that is, but that's a fair answer. :)

Re: Being sticky helps spread your brand

I love stickers! I want a JimRaffel.com sticker! And my boyfriend collects stickers, but never sticks them on anything, so... I need two stickers. :) As for my stickers needs... I'm not sure what I'd do with $200 worth of stickers but if I won, I'd figure it out!

Re: The Running Streak: What’s Enough?

Anne Munkwitz — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:22:37 -0000

Jane, I was following your runstreak religiously but somehow missed the fact that it ended! I'm glad you were able to end the streak in a way that worked for you. Your attitude is really inspiring! I love what you said long ago when we talked about the streak - that
it's easier to runstreak than not, because it eliminates the decision. :) To know when enough is enough and decide back off is difficult! Congrats on the 331-day streak, and I'll still be watching your example of what's next for a healthy, happy runner. *fingers crossed for your shin*

Re: What I’ve learned from using TwUnfollow.com – Shelby says

Anne Munkwitz — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:37:56 -0000

It's to the point where I'm afraid to unfollow anyone because of this type of service. I definitely don't want someone to be alerted when I unfollow them... it is unnerving being on either end. I could never know those stats - it would drive me nuts!

Re: 13 days of detox: the Yin toxin fast

Looks like this requires some dedication. I hope you get the results you want! I've never tried anything like this but admire those who do. Good luck :)

Re: Wardrobe Oxygen: My Blog, My Choice

Anne Munkwitz — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:41:32 -0000

I just want to hug you! Not because you need sympathy, but because you are brave, and you exude confidence on good days but you keep it real when you're having a bad day. You are an amazing role model for your daughter, and a joy to follow in the blogosphere. Thank you.

Kim, I agree that heart rate may be one thing I could monitor. It's good to
hear there are others out there that are ok with just doing what they love
and speed is secondary. It's tough being surrounded with such talent, huh?
:) Thanks for replying!

Rachel, I think we all have a little trouble with Rule 19. At least one part of running is the spirit of competition and it's natural to want to know how we measure up - it's why we have races! But I totally agree that the nervous feeling starts when I have to analyze my run as 'good' or 'bad' based on numbers. When I ditched the scale in my weight-loss journey, I learned a valuable lesson about measuring and managing. Often, just going by feel, as you did for years without a Garmin, is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Thanks for your comment :)
