pace

I am already amazed at how much training for the 1/2 marathon is teaching me about all aspects of my life.
I am re-remembering how much pace plays into endurance. and endurance requires resting points.
I have always been quite capable at enduring. moving forward for very very long periods of time with little rest. but looking back, maybe I was tired at times and didn't allow myself to rest. maybe I pushed too hard.

now I am learning how to move forward in an even better way. in a way that allows a more enjoyable balance for relaxation and rest.
I'm learning my personal pace. my personal pace allows more ENJOYMENT in moving forward.

Pace.

the flow line...(instead of *time*line)

something new in my life is the idea of my ***flow line*****

time line ---- converts to a ----- FLOW LINE

you like that don't you??? :)

Things move around so easily on this FLOW LINE

What are the Steps from here to there…
and can you skip over some because you are in the flow?
maybe its even easier.
don’t hold too tight to the timeline in your head!

What if you don't wait so long to move forward… what if you stop putting the brakes on ?
you have this new way of thinking that is causing you to re-examine how you do everything… but you can ride on the flow and move forward with EASE and ENJOYMENT…
that’s what this new experience is all about!

ok...I'm going to train

After emailing and talking with people who have trained before... I have decided I am going to train for a 1/2 Marathon! yeah.

Here's the really big addition though... no time stamp. no time line. no dates.

just like my preparation for our new Divine Playhouse space... just like I am doing with just about every other project in my life... there is no projected TIME that this has to be completed. i'm in this for the PROCESS. the ENJOYMENT. the EXPERIENCE.
no expectations. no pushing, shoving, or foul behavior. this is going to be another change to practice this concept of JOURNEY for the experience of the PLEASURE.

I'll run a 1/2 marathon whenever I am ready.

ok. I'm excited about this. my body feels eager to participate.

1/2 Marathon ???

I've always wanted to run in a race. Not to win a race, just to be in the crowd of running people... moving forward as a whole mass. And I like the path forward. I like the training. I like the attention to the body.

So Chrissy wants to train for a 1/2 marathon. At first I said "no way" I am all about relaxing and hibernating right now. right??

well... I also feel like I am looking to get more connected to my physical body. get out of my mind and my spirit a little more often and get connected to the physical body I am living in. I'm also good with goals. good with moving forward with purpose.

so, maybe.
yeah.

Happy New Year!! 2008

2008 has started out just as I intended. There is a very important shift going on in my life right now. I am changing the way I live my life, in many ways, because the motivations behind what I do have shifted...

Its a "one year" and we are beginning a whole new decade of life. For me 2007 was the end of my 20s and damn, I was glad of that. The 20s for me were about DRIVE and DETERMINATION. I was on a fast track of marking things off my life-TO-DO list. (very different kinda things than my life list) I pushed and shoved and rushed my life along very much of the time during my 20s. There was so very much to do to MAKE things HAPPEN.

Now we are in a new decade... and I am living for the moment, diving into the pleasures of life, and leaving deadlines behind. Ahhh feels free.

I am excited about how this is going to shift the way I create the path to the new Divine Playhouse space. I believe its going to be much more enjoyable to me...

I look forward to writing about this process as it evolves and unfolds here in the new year of 2008.

Happy New Year Universe. Its going to be a goooooood life!
