In a world of desire,
oh who would come and catch you when you fall
in the wind and the fire?
oh who would come to save you?
High above any danger
Locked inside the tower of your mind,
dreams are veiled; passion blinded.
Safe from fear and fire.
Oh who will find me? In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Fly far beyond these silver winter skies.
I see a beautiful life.
Oh, come and get away.
Do you see the horizon?
Walk upon the water, you will find all is still and yet alive in the morning light.
Oh who will find me?
In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Fly far beyond these silver winter skies.
I see a beautiful life.
Oh, come and get away.
Dance dance in the morning light.
Open your darkened eyes.
Hey, hey, it's a beautiful day.
It'll be ok. It'll be ok.
Take a look, spin around, this is where I find you
where the roses bloom.
Leave your cares, leave your fears, leave them all behind you yeayah.
It's a beautiful day in the city of shining light.
It's a beautiful day.
This is where I find you?
yeayah Oh who will find me?
In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Come and get away.

Your horoscope for May 28, 2009
No, you are not at the movies, shan, this is actually your life. Perhaps you can't believe your eyes, but it's time to say good-bye to your very rigid attitude about things. A little pleasure among all that seriousness and responsibility won't do you any harm. This day could help you to change your point of view on life! And how good this will feel!

lOVE this song...above and beyond "On A good day" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEbY2xRarLE


Little bit lost and... A little bit lonely
Little bit cold here
A little bit feared
But I hold on
And I Feel strong
And I Know that I can
Getting used to it
Lit the fuse to it
Like to know who I am
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me
On a good day
And it feels like me
On a good day
'Im a little bit hemmed in
A little bit isolated
A little bit hopeful
A little bit cold
But I hold on
And I Feel strong
And I Know that I can
Getting used to it
Lit the fuse to it
Like to know who I am
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter... And it feels like me
On a good day
Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me On a good day

"Running is a statement to society. It is saying 'no' to always being on call, to sacrificing our daily runs for others' needs. When we run we are doing something for ourselves."
Phoebe Jones, runner

"Running gives me a sense of controlling my life. I like the finiteness of runs, the fact that I have a clear beginning and end. I set a goal and I achieve it. A good run makes you feel sort of holy."
Nancy Gerstein, runner

"I have loved the feel of the green grass under my feet, and the sound of the running stream by my side, and the face of the field has often comforted me more than the faces of men."

Your horoscope for May 18, 2009
It could be that your tremendous sensitivity toward a certain situation is causing you to jump to conclusions that are preventing you from seeing the truth about it, shan. Your tendency is to assume things before you have all the facts you need. More than likely, you assume the worst, making you more stressed about the situation than you need to be. Do not worry about things you don't know to be true.

Your horoscope for May 13, 2009
Your normal pace, slow and steady, usually wins the race, shan, but today you might need to take some short cuts. Feel free to jump on opportunities that seem to crop up out of nowhere. However, don't feel like you need to commit to anything at this time. Take your chances and see where lady luck takes you. There is an adventuresome spirit in the air that is urging you to take an unexpected gamble.

Cabriolet=more driving=more $$ hahah

Wow, today was soooo perfect at a balmy 75 degrees. So of course, this means blasting my tunes with the top down, and cruising!!!!
Umm its getting ridiculous. It is the best feeling ever! Especially after a long sweaty run, jumping in the car and um..air-drying lol.
I hope my foot is better because I did 10 miles in 2 days and want to do another 5 tomorrow! Someone tell me nooooo...

I went into Dick's sporting goods and had to FORCE myself out of the nike/under armour isle...they had so many cute shorts and tanks.
But I will stick to marshalls/tj maxx...so much cheaper!

But damn if they didn't have underarmour CUTE gear.
I made the yummiest brownies last night! SOOO Simple and yum. Take a box of dark choc. brownie mix, mix it w/one can of pumpkin, nothing else! Bake for 25 min at 400 degrees. OMG SOO GOOD.

Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come,—as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours.

It was about 65 degrees. My 1st run outside since my injury...and it was great! I was soo paranoid the whole time that one wrong turn and it would be strained again..but no..
I did about 3 miles. I wanted to do so much more and I had to literally tell myself NO!!!!!!!!!!
Haa. And of course I am back! And STARVING all day.
That means wine and ice cream. LOL.
