My 50th year, running, etc.



While running this morning, the day before my birthday, I couldn't help looking back on My Year Of Being 50.  There was some tough stuff to work through this past year, but overall I am happy with it being the year I watched my youngest graduate from college, ran another half-marathon and grew my photography business.
Running works real voodoo on my psyche...I started my run thinking about this article and all I hadn't done this year to improve my running, went through a whole "This Is Your Life" episode in my head featuring highlights from the past year and ended it feeling pretty positive about how I'd shaved a few more seconds off my four mile run.
The definite high point of my day was a yummy cup of coffee and a lovely long visit with my friend Lauren whose blog and photography I admire so much.  I must make visits with Lauren and "shop talk" a regular thing!  I feel more energized about my photography and intrigued about improving my blogging after being with her.
Tomorrow is the start of a new year for me...it is My. New. Year. -.minus the resolutions but complete with goals, wishes and dreams.
