Anne Frank said, or wrote, for that matter, "The best remedy for those who are afraid,
lonely or unhappy is to go outside,
somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that
all is as it should be and that
God wishes to see people happy,
amidst the simple beauty of nature."

And to nature Tim and I go for the 4th of July break. Tim and I head to upstate PA to a lake house with family.Mentioning that I can't wait is underestimating it. Four days without computers, laptops, phones, blackberry, or anything that plugs in may be scary for some people, but it has never sounded more welcoming to me. I am packing light...just a book, a swimsuit, and some hiking shoes.

Back in the Habit

I have started running again. I think my urge to run is seasonal. It is great to be back out on the streets!

My friend is training for a half marathon and I have found that her training regiment is great! Two short runs during the week and one long run on the weekends.

Maybe I'll see you out on the road!
