This week’s Tuesday Topic: How do you organize your running gear ? You can write about this topic or post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
I was planning to write about this topic but realized that I wrote about it in 2021 and nothing has changed since then. I have more gear but it is still stored in the same places.
I am going to deviate from today’s topic. I was in San Antonio for a few days for my aunt’s 90th birthday party. She is my mom’s older and the last one of her sisters. They are like night and day but yet so much fun to see them together. My aunt laughed and danced on her special day. She was surrounded by her sons and daughters, grandchildren, nieces and nephews and their kids, her sister and brother, and her friends.
Hola Zenaida:
Wow, 90 years old! I know you look and feel amazing. Taking care of yourself and going to the doctor paid off. You are still running, not like before, but you are still active and that is what matters.
You are enjoying your retirement after working for over 20 years as a teacher. Have you seen more of your previous students? I am glad that many of them still keep in touch with you. You made a difference in their lives. I know teaching was not an easy job but you were patient, did the best you could, and loved your students.
I hope you are enjoying the condo life by the lakefront. I know that it always want you wanted. Owning a house is a lot of work and comes with more responsibilities, but I am glad you still bought a house because you looked for one for YEARS.
You love your nieces and nephews very much and I am happy that they visit you. They make sure you have what you need and still make you laugh and smile.
Do you remember when you turned 25? You celebrated by going to Lalo’s with friends. You were so happy because you were a quarter of a century. Then 50 came along and you thought you were old. But that didn’t last too long because you then said that age was just a number. You were not old. You were healthy, had a place to live, had a job, and was surrounded by family.
You lived a good life. Things happen for a reason. Your failures and your good choices shaped you into the person you are now.
Keep doing what you are doing. You might see the year 2072.
The topic for next week – What are your Spring running plans or race schedule? Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
This is such a good exercise!
It really helps to focus on what’s important in life: physical health, loving relationships and a fulfilling purpose.
I’m sure that you will be very similar to your 90-year old aunt: full of joy and happiness.
And I hope you will get that lakefront condo, too!
I hope so too – being like my aunt and the condo!
Great idea. Glad you are happy and lived a good life.
How long did you run? Which were your favorite races?
I hope to continue running as close to 90 as possible. 🙂
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. I am so excited for you to experience and achieve all the amazing things you wrote to yourself about. <3
Thank you. It took me a couple of hours to write it. It wasn’t easy but I did it.
