Challenges-What Challenges?

This week was a productive one to say the least.  We ran for Boston in Clove Lake as a Staten Island community.  Some amazing people.  But I have been saying that forever, and especially, 6 months after Sandy I think we all believe that!

Then came some motivational running with the ladies.  Thank God for them!  A weekday night, after work, provided a run with Tara and Jen.  And what better way to pass the time but talk about guacamole, cupcakes and penis! And another example, on a slightly rainy morning at 5AM, I could have slept for another hour or so but, no, I told Jen that I would run with her!  And I wasn't the one who was going to cancel that running date!  And I am sure we both didn't cancel because we knew we were there for each other.  Just like our 5AM trip to the city on a Friday morning to take Spin at Revolve! So worth the sweat!

Then the team came together to take on a challenge this weekend.  And we conquered all around! And then we celebrated. 

And baseball season has started...little man is a cutie and he'll always be Dan my baseball man...but you have to love him picking flowers for mommy during his outfield position. He needs some obstacle course race training!

This week I was able to have mommy "mind and body" time and was able to experience the Danny extra-curricular activities.  I call that success!


The best part about challenges are they are not a challenge until you make it one.
BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE ROLL!  

Who's ready for Cinco De Mayo?? 

What is love?

While this could be a very dramatic theoretical long post.  I promise it not to be.

I was asked what is my idea of love, a "perfect" relationship...And I really never had an answer.  Until now... Better late than never.

I've been able to take a step back and see where my life has been and where it should go.

While I will not into detail...
I never thought that true love existed.  I always thought that the girl who always raved about her hubby and family was really the one that hurt the most.  I thought that the couples I saw hand and hand in the public were the ones who were head to head in their home.  I always that Cinderella and Prince Charming didn't exist.  Okay, maybe I still believe that.

But in the end, true love in this day and age does exist.   


Talking about love...My note on the Boston Marathon-Boston is one of my favorite places to visit.  Running has become a favorite activity.  Both communities have been nothing but wonderful to me. 
I might be a Yankee but here we are all strong together and will get through this and run on.  Run In Peace...
