Numbers!?! , Running Update

My friend Titania had a posting awhile ago about seeing repeating matching numbers i.e. she would see 444 , 555, 777. I thought this was really interesting so I googled them. To my surprise I discovered there were listed meanings for them. Lately I've been seeing 333. I've dreamt that I would finish a marathon in 3 hours 33 minutes a couple of times. I thought it was cool but didn't pursue it. Lately I've been waking up at 3:33 so I decided to start looking into it. I found one site that said 333 signified changed. If anyone can offer anymore information I would be very appreciative.

I started the season with lofty goals with respect to running. Unfortunately they are not going to be realized in the time that I wanted. I did not run the Steamtown Marathon because of a slight injury and I just withdrew my name from the NYC Marathon because I am not in marathon shape.
The good part about withdrawing is I get a guaranteed spot for next year. :o)

In any case I'm still going to NYC with my family because I can't get my money back. So we're planning on making the best of it.

We got Robbed!




Hello all;

I was hoping my first post back would be about our weekend but it's not. We discovered yesterday that we were robbed. Even more disturbing was the fact that it was our own fault. I guess living in Pa the last 10 years our sense of security became laxed. We left the garage door open and someone came in while we were sleeping and stole a bunch of things including my wallet and car keys. I think they didn't steal the car because the other car was blocking it.

It's funny, nothing like getting robbed to really make you take a look at your values and your own sense of security. I experienced a range of emotions before I was able to ground myself. Here's a funny; As I was distracted by these emotions I called the police to file a report. I look up Peoria Police dept on line and call them. I tell them what happened and they let me know they're sending a car. I wait and about 15 minutes alter they call me back telling me they can't find my house. They confirm the address again and let me know they'll be here soon. Another 15 minutes and they call again. After talking to them for another 5 minutes I discover I called Peoria Illinois, I live in Peoria Arizona. It was funny and the operator had a good sense of humor. This help me get grounded.

The robbers got some nice things and I hope they truly enjoy it. It was our own fault and if I was a thief, I would have thought I hit the lottery. I was surprised that they didn't take more than they did. My biggest concern is to help my family feel comfortable again in our house. But I'm sure in time, we'll be OK. Again something like this is like a big curve ball and it makes you take a step back and evaluate what's important to you. I love my family and I'm glad we're together, healthy and safe.

A little break





Hi!

We finally starting making some progress with the project I'm on at work and I have been able to get home at a decent time and kinda relax. Although I am on call until Friday:o)

I know I'm been really busy and stressed because I'm starting to think crazy thoughts. I originally signed up to do the steamtown marathon in Scranton this Sunday. My running wasn't going the way I thought it should be going so I signed up for the Road Runners 1/2 marathon this Saturday instead. Now I'm actually considering doing both!!!! Am I nuts or what?!?!?!

I'm not trying to prove anything I just really enjoy running and for some reason feel very guilty about not running the marathon. So far because they're so far apart distance wise, I do not think I will be able to do both. Pam and I have already made several commitments in NYC for Saturday, so getting back to PA in time to pickup my runners packet would not be likely.

Maybe I should just stop questioning myself and just go with the feeling regardless if it makes sense or not.

I'll let ya know what happens
