The case of the missing mojo...
Friday, July 30th 2010
A week ago I announced that I lost my mojo. Ive been feeling pretty negative in this portion of my journey. Ive thought a lot about why, when I should be dancing naked in the streets proclaiming my admission into the Onederland club, am I constantly looking in the mirror and not liking what Im seeing.Fear is the answer to that why.

I need to find my mojo.I dont know where it is but it is not residing inside my body, mind, or emotional state.

I thought long and hard about how to start this particular post. Then I decided instead of starting at the beginning, I would start at the end and go from there:
This is me getting ready to cross the finish line of my first 10k that I ran last Saturday. My husband is taking this picture and I had just screamed at the top of my lungs "I DIDN'T STOP ONCE". I am about to finish running 6.2 miles and I am smiling. The greatest thing about this race is not that I didn't come in ...
