"I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK A CURIOUS EVENT IS THIS LIFE OF MINE." --JOHN JAMES AUDUBON
One of the most sagacious pieces of advice I have ever received was at Ohio State Cross Country Camp in high school. I was told to eliminate the word "too" from my vocabulary. It is never too hot, it is never too cold, it is never too early, it is never too late, it is never too hard, you are never too tired, and it is never too much. Although very applicable to running, I find myself living by this mantra in all aspects of my life. I am always looking for the next adventure, the next discovery, and the next moment of my life in which I find myself quoting Mr. Audubon.
The next step is never too far away.
The next step is never too far away.
A few of my favorite things
Traveling the world (especially Asia), long distance running, playing my guitar, going to museums, going to concerts, reading nonfiction books, reading fiction books, my cat, blogging, exploring the city, coffee, baking, and laughing.
