DIFFERENT ROADS............
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn't mean they’ve gotten lost.

Wish me luck as I go in circles for 24 hours and send those positive thought my way

You can follow from the link above and you can email me positive message. I would love it. :-)
These are my legs they have taken me to so many wonderful places some times they are happy and some times they get stubborn and get mad. But they still always manage to get me there one step at a time.
These legs have logged over 35,000 miles in my running life since 1996 when I took that first step out my door and told myself I am going to become a runner today,
and I did and I have never look back. There are two major accomplishments in my life one was to get clean & sober and no longer being a drug addict and alcoholic, the other becoming a runner and staying with it. I have been clean & sober for 15 years and a runner 13 years.
Everything we do in life starts with taking that first step. So go out and take that first step at something in life.

Once again an inspiring post! You are an inspiring person Catra. I've only been reading your blog a few weeks but it/you have inspired me to take my running seriously again. I've been running for 21 years over half my life now to get me out of an overweight and unemployed funk... And I am only at about 10-12,000miles. WTG and congrats on logging over 35,000 of them and sticking with your commitments. I hope I can stick with mine.

Good luck this weekend, 24hours... You are damn tough!

BTW, great legs!

Good reason to blog the light fantastic about your legs.

3rd lady, 14th o/all and just shy of 100 freakin' miles. It's all about the legs!

Nice work. I'm tired now, just thinking about it!

Those legs seem to carry everything for what you stand for, with your tats you pay them respect.
I hope you will pay them more, so you keep on running and be an example for us.
Keep on running on those legs ;-)
