Decisions
When your running, say 14 miles, you have a lot of time to think.
When your running 14 miles with two other people- you have TIME to talk.
I don't know how, why or at what point we stumbled upon this topic but I had mentioned the two best decisions I've made in my 23 years of living.
Decision ONE.
Becoming vegan.
It has been almost 4 years now, and I'm thankful every day. Making this lifestyle choice has not only opened my eyes to a plethora of different fruits and vegetables but it also taught me how to cook and fend for myself in more ways than just what is for dinner. Becoming vegan has made me into a better person I feel (I hope you agree). I've not only learned to care for my body, what goes inside but for the earth and its inhabitants. Many of my daily activities have been formed because of this lifestyle decision- juicing, running, hiking, cooking, gardening- to name a few.
I can go on and on about the pros of being vegan, what I cannot even name is just ONE con. Nope- none.
Decision TWO.
Joining Team in Training.
Yes. I said it. One of the best decisions I've made is deciding to run a marathon- and running it with a collection of AMAZING people. Honestly- why doesn't everyone do it? I can't wrap my head around it. This team; exercises, raises money, supports their friends and family all for a good cause- to assist in finding a cure for Cancer. You know my reason for raising money for the Leukemia lymphoma Society, but there are a collection of people that do it- just because. These assortment of people are genuinely good people. I would be lying if I said that I felt that about everyone in Los Angeles, and quite frankly it is pretty sad to admit- but these people I have met do this because they care. Joining TNT has altered my life- and only in the best ways. The coaches, the support staff, the mentors, the members, are all out here for a reason, and it’s for those that are struggling out there with a disease. There is so much to say about these wonderful people, why they are here, where they come from, what they are accomplishing. But I think the best way to learn- is by doing it yourself. Experience the power of hope, friendship, will, and most of all love by simply joining this collection of people and do something- something GREAT!
I don't know where I'll be next year, still in LA maybe? Living on a different continent, maybe? Who knows. What I do know is that I'll have both decisions still with me and helping me mold myself into the person I strive to be.
Till next time,
Peace, love and happiness.
