PLEASE HELP
Friends out there in the blog world...
I finally understand how powerful my word is, and I understand the fact that I can create ANYTHING i want, even if I don't know how I'm going to do it.
So, I'm going to organize a race. I'm not sure WHEN it's going to be, but it will probably be a 10km race. I'm not really sure what's realistic.
However, I have created a survey about the decision to run a race, and the factors that are important.
I'd love if you could fill it out for me, and maybe put the link on your blog. It would help me out a lot!!
Thanks guys,
Any other comments or feedback or input can be left in the comment!
You Guys ROCK!!

P.S. I'm still Running!
Whole. Complete. Perfect
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to deci...de whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”
So much to tell you about this weekend's race!
I'm enlightened, and happy.
I'm whole, complete and perfect.
This is it, and IT is perfect.
I'm learning how to be in the world as it is and as it isn't.
I can actually be present in life. I can go into a conversation without having any
pre-concieved judgements.
I can empower people and be empowered by listening.
Each and every moment, I can re-invent myself from nothing.
As soon as I declare something, I can be it. Even if I don't know how I am going to do it. Do you think Ghandi knew how he was going to free India before he did it?
Feelings are experiences and they don't have to overwhelm me. I had my first real 'feeling' since Sunday--one that wasn't elation. Normally it would overwhelm me and define me as a person, but I was able to get myself present again.
Life is good.
I might run a half marathon instead of a full marathon though--the breathing thing isn't really working out so far this winter.
Thanks for reading,
Emily
This is it, and it's perfect. From nothing, who I am, right now is the possibility of being present and courageous.
this weekends race
I feel like I do the day before a marathon.
Restless, anxious, insomiatic (yep, I'm pretty sure I'm making up words too.
Its 1206 am. And I should be asleep but all the above feeling are counter-productive when you're trying to sleep...just saying..
Tomorrow. Rather today, I'm doing the landmark advanced course.
Google it (its not a cult)
It's do or die time folks.
I'm playimg full out. I could lose so much if I don't (alll explained in that post I'll eventually post(
10am-midnight Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I'll come back with possibilities.
Send me some love...

clinic started YESTERDAY!
I joined a marathon clinic.
Out of the High Park Running Room.
There's hills EVERYWHERE and a pretty cool group of people.
Yesterday was 6k.
And every minute sucked.
And then I couldn't breathe for like an hour afterwards.
But then the endorphins hit.
And Tigrrr was back.
im still working on the post I've been wanting to post for awhile.
And maybe this will be a little bit of running and life blog.
New Year, New Blog
Hello dudes and dudettes.
Soon I will open up the blog I am creating to the public. It has nothing to do with running (or not very much) but it has a lot to do with my quest to be a powerful young person who loves life.
It's the other blog on my profile. And I will post again when it is open!
Conrats to everyone who ran the disney marathon! (Or did that goofy thing).
All you runners out there in blog land inspire me
Love,
Emily.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hunakkah, Plans for the future
Yep, I'm still alive.
No, I haven't been running very much. I've been doing a lot of yoga though.
I'm running the Ottawa Marathon in May.
I've started the strengthening process, and studying process to become a firefighter. (Work 7 days a month...yes please!)
Life isn't going to be
Nothing's going to get the better of me anymore.
Wishing you all happy holidays, no matter which ones you celebrate.
Love,
tigrrr.
Maybe I'll be around a little more from now on.
Sometimes I Surprise Myself
Over the past 2 weeks...
- I cooked a turkey.For real. I'm the kind of girl that burns Kraft Dinner and Grilled Cheese, but I cooked a freaking turkey. And carrots. And apple and pumpkin pie.
- I put oil in my car. Before this, I didn't know where the oil was supposed to go.
- I organized and followed through with a booth at the Goodlife Toronto Marathon.
- I learned that I can plan and plan and plan but sometimes there are curveballs and you just have to roll with the punches.
- That being said, I rolled with the punches (and spent 5hrs at Kinkos) and figured things out.
- I drove in Downtown Toronto
- I went in to the hospital to visit my mom (after a few days of not going in)
- I drove on the highway. When there were cars on the road.
Among many many other things. And now I'm a nurse. Ha
The half marathon on sunday doesn't seem so daunting anymore.

Niagara Falls International Marathon
I just signed up for the niagara falls international half marathon.
On not a
pinch of training.
I'll also be running in new shoes.
I dont know about you, but to me this reaks of a bad idea.
But it might kick my bum into gear!!
Tomorrow I'm cooking a turkey.
I burnt Kraft Dinner the other day.
That is all.
Mediocrity
Ok friends.
I know it's been awhile. Infact, I'm not even sure if i posted after I went to Lake Placid and didn't sign up for Ironman. If I didn't...well then I owe you another post. This post I present you with today really doesn't have much to do with running. Or maybe nothing at all. But it's important to me to share it with you and since you guys are my blog family, and will still love me even when i don't post as much as I should, you can deal with it.
Things have been really hard for me. I decided not to go back to school. I'm working full-time. I'm not running. I'm making changes and doing things that are really hard but are going to affect my life for the better, and even though it really sucks I'm still doing them.
But I think I get stuck there. I get stuck in this place where nothing else really matters. I wake up, and I go to work. And I love my job. I mean, I love, love, love my job. I work with the best people and can go in on the verge of tears and I leave smiling and ok. But I want to grow and learn and when I am not fully present it's really really difficult.
Running for me is just more time to think, and that is really the last thing that I need. And it's frustrating. Because I love it. And I know I do. But it just doesn't make me feel as good because I'm so distracted. There are some pretty crazy, difficult, life changing things going on in my life right now and I'm stuck there.
So, here I am. I am committing myself to greatness. I will not let myself get stuck in my head. In the places that it doesn't do me any good. I know it's not going to be easy, but I am destined to do amazing things. The things that bother me now and keep me stuck will no longer dictate my life. I will run, and I will enjoy it. I will inspire people.
Who I am being is courgaeous, and the possibility that I am creating is the possibility of freedom, happiness and greatness.
Thanks for reading.
Perhaps a running related post for you soon?
