What Only Runners Understand

Without going into detail, I’ve had some very tough things go on in my life this week.  For the first time in about 5 years I simply don’t have the heart or will to write a blog post.

I am always astounded at how life can throw things at you that shock and shake you to the core.

I am always amazed by how when this happens – you get very clear, very fast about what is important.

That said, I did write (what I thought was) a hilarious article for RunHaven this week (before the shit hit the fan). So, in lieu of a post on SUAR, go check that out (click on photo).

Tune in next week for a review on Eddie Bauer’s new line of performance/fitness/running clothing: First Ascent. Trust me, this is GREAT stuff.

  7. Yup. Life turns on a dime. Unfortunately, I know the feeling. Not to get wacky, but keep your eyes up. We don't like or understand things, but ultimately God will see you through them. It may get messy, but He gets you through. I will pray for you, for peace and resolution.

  12. Oh beth, I am so sorry to hear that life is throwing done wicked curve balls at you! But it's always been said that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react it.

  13. Hey, sorry to hear life has been rough for you. If it's any consolation, life here has been the sh*ts too. I'm having a hard time getting my mojo back and I needed to laugh so my husband and I went to Dumb and Dumber To tonight. We laughed so hard and It helped us forget about things for a while. Not sure if stupid movies are your thing but maybe you can find something to take your mind off of whatever it is that sucks right now. I hope things improve for you soon.

  19. Peace and resolution. What a lovely way to say we hope you feel better soon. Thanks, Anonymous, for the words. We've been through "the suck" as someone else said, and we are having a small taste now, too. But we do manage to dig our way out of it and come out the other side. Stronger? Ha. I don't know. Definitely educated. Hoping for peace and resolution.

  28. Dear Beth, I am so sorry to hear that you're struggling. I too have some things going on, and it leaves you wandering not only trying to find enthusiasm to write, but also wondering what topic you can possibly spend your energy on when something else requires so much of it.

    That said, one of the best things about being a runner is being able to get out and pound the streets: clear your head, focus on loving yourself and remind yourself of how closely you are connected to nature and the wider world. As a fellow blogger and runner, I'm sending you loads of good wishes and and love, and I hope that it supports you in some small way. You have made me smile and encouraged me more times than I can count over the last 2 years since I found your blog, and now it's time for us to do the same for you. This is a lot more heartfelt than I had intended, but surely one of the benefits of having a blog is that the running community can reach out and hug you when you need it! #RunnersStickTogether

  29. I hate to hear this, what is going on? I am in a similar situation, my dad died two weeks ago, and I was diagnosed with leukemia last week, the cause of a nearly fatal pulmonary embolism a month before my first Ironman in Louisville, this past summer. When it rains, it pours it appears. I hope you are ok, I love your blog, and it is the bright side of my day when a new post comes along. Praying for you Beth!

  53. Hello,
    Would like to know how much it would costs to make a basic Tower Defense Game of Friv and Friv4School.
    If you have made them before please show me your work and how much it was for making it as Y8 Games.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If you want to make a game on Y8Y8 and share it with the world, it doesn't get any easier than with a Flash-based browser game.
    With an internet connection, some readily available tools,
    and basic programming knowledge, you can create a game as Fynsy or Frip.
    And anyone in the world with a browser can play it instantly.

    Similar to Charming Bride, Barbie of Swan Lake is a dress up game.

  69. Charming Bride
    From the didiGames studios,
    Charming Bride is quite the opposite of the number 1 slot.
    There is no fighting, or eating; this one is all about make-believe and dress up.
    You are given a female character to dress up for the day she has been planning since she was a little girl: her wedding day.

  70. In the gaming world, a slew of ways to play games exist: consoles like the Xbox,
    handheld devices such as the DS, mobile platforms like smartphones,
    and one of our favorite, the browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

    The advantage of in-browser games is that all is required is a computer and an internet connection.
    No high end graphics card, dedicated console, monthly subscription, or even a one-time fee.
    Friv9Game.org, or Friv for short, offers a very wide range of these in-browser games at no cost.
    Friv is our number one choice for browser gaming.
