casa programs always need more volunteers. people in general so need more valuable opportunities like casa though? could some of the best things in life be more available?

"so many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable" (christopher reeve)

today we just ran 10 miles in 80+ minutes.. no big deal some of you might think, but for much of my life i never imagined running like that.. in a week we're running a half marathon in vancouver, in less than 2 months a full marathon (26 miles) in san diego.. we'll see how they go! ha i'm gaining alot more from training for a marathon than i thought i would.. its quite psychological and you realize the importance of pacing too.. both pretty important lessons/skills that can be extended to the many other Marathons we all run!

birthdays cmu-carnival speeches volunteer-training and snowboarding, snowboarding & more snowboarding this past winter.. summer's just around the corner, yay!

this new year is a little intimidating, don't u think..? life's a tight balancing act.. can i keep my balance? people come and go.. who's next to leave? sh*t happens & some of the worst things happen to some of the best people.. what's going to happen next?

the new year's so exciting tho! new and interesting people i'll meet. old friends i'll get to know again. more ctcr lov'in. i'll see my family again. more mountains to climb. so much to learn and experience. more snowboarding & sailing & marathon & speeches. more "passion for your potential", so to speak. volunteer work. yay yay yay!

life goes on.. where will i next arrive in this journey.. ha, we'll see!
