Being Joyful as I daily seek to journey with joy carried by LOVE. A blog about myself and my family. The name of my blog is a combination of my middle name and a nickname my Oma gave me years ago.

Being a whale...nah! A manatee? Nope...I think a horse is more beautiful!




I have not written a post since December. Nobody has asked why not but I will not take offence since I am not writing for anyone else in mind. ;-)
Too much has been going on to stop to write things down.
Early next month I will be doing my 1st 5km in 15 years.  My last one was on Canada Day 1998 in Langley, B.C.  My love for aerobics and walking took over and that is what I've stuck with over the years. Running has caught my attention again but with so much snow this past winter and now still a great deal of slush and mud it's been tough to train outdoors.   I cannot even walk down my driveway without my feet getting soaked. 
Anyway, I almost gave up bothering with doing the 5km at all.  My husband thought I would injure myself since I haven't done a great deal of training on the road.  He thought I should perhaps walk or wait till next year. My friends won't let me quit.  Thanks ladies for thinking I can do it. :-)

So here's to getting back into running again. Thanks to two ladies I consider athletes, my running journey has begun again. I am just terrified I would come dead last.
Oh...and I have started a treadmill-saving-up-jar so that on those really mucky days...I have no excuses!
Enjoy the journey, whether walking, cycling, running or rolling....
