Let's get it started...

Sadly, some of our "team" of runners did not get picked through the Broad Street Lottery.  I guess it will depend on how much they really want to run -- there are other avenues for acquiring a bib.  This weekend the weather is supposed to break somewhat, so my plan is to get out there and run, at least a little, and get this training thing started.

I'm really looking forward to it.  This is "the year of Pam" and I am completely and totally embracing the idea of doing things that make me feel strong and confident and, basically, just all around amazing about myself.

I am 49 years old.  I have been through highs and lows and sometimes even the pits of life, but I'm still standing and I'm still growing and still making improvements along the way.  I am a work in progress and I have finally reached that point in my life where if something isn't bringing me happiness, adding joy or at least bringing me a sense of accomplishment, making me feel good about me and what I am doing with my life I just don't find it necessary.  I love my kids and my family and my friends and they love me back and that's a good thing.  People are complicated and I am no exception to that.  The trick is surrounding oneself with those whose complexities make life interesting and stimulating and rewarding.  Dull is just not an option.  Life is way to short to not enjoy the everyday, to find something to laugh about and spark a little bit of joy.
