Saturday's 16 mile training walk route is a keeper! We walked places I have never been even though I grew up in SF. When we started walking it was socked in drippy, wet fog and cccold at the Arguello Gate of the Presidio but it did not dampen our spirits at all! We started by heading out on Argullo on through GG Park, out to the Sunset via 9th and Irving. Then we walked up Stanyan Street and then around Sutro Tower on the Historic Trail which was magical (and muddy) enveloped in fog.
From there we pushed on to Portola Dr. and down through the hidden gem Glen Canyon Park (well, hidden to me until today.) After a bit of a hiccough in navigating the route, we walked back across town through Noe Valley, the Castro, Duboce Park, the Panhandle, the Conservatory of Flowers and then we headed, like cows to the barn, back up Arguello! Today's route will forever be nicknamed "The Grocery Route" because our breaks were at Andronico's, Mollie Stones/Tower Market and Whole Foods! We heart snacks.

WEEKLY INSPIRATION
I have been thinking a lot lately about personal truth; what it is to be "true" to yourself, to speak your truth and live out your truth in action and deed. No one else knows your truth. No one can give it to you or tell you what your truth should be. No one can diminish your truth.

Your truth is new,
each moment of every day. Your truth can change too! For me, one way to be
in your truth is by following your heart, listening to the soft whispers of
your intuition, taking heed of the feelings in your gut, speaking with
integrity and living honestly - all of that good stuff that can happen when we
step off the ferris wheel of busy, modern living. You don't have
to "keep up with the Jonses", keep up with yourself!
When we live presently and fully in our
truth, it honors all of the people we encounter in our lives. It rubs off in a
positive way, leaving this world a little "sparkelier." We feel joy, beauty, peace and calm when we are living our truth. Continually re-calibrate your internal compass to learn your personal truth and be able to live it!

10 REASONS TO NEVER GIVE UP From http://inspirinquotes.
1.
As long as you are alive, anything is possible. The
only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are
alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you
finally succeed.
2. Be realistic. The chance of mastering
something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes
time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.
3. You are strong. You are stronger
than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving
your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.
4. Prove yourself. You don’t want to
be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself
to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do.
The only time you fail is when you give up.
5. Believe in your dreams. Don’t
sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to
bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.
6. Your family and friends. Let
the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to
persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or
practice more but don’t give up!
7. There are people worse-off. Right
now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you
are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the
people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to
run 5 miles every day.
8. You deserve to be happy. Don’t
ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to
have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your
destination!
9. Inspire others. Be an inspiration
to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve
because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.
10. You are so close. Often when you feel
like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You
are just a heartbeat away from success.
