What would Cameron do....: I am limping away from the running....

The reason I started this blog...

Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!

I am limping away from the running....

So, it has been awhile since my last post, and the running has not been going so well. After traversing down a steep hill, I jocked my right foot and when I walk, it feels like I am wearing a glass shoe. Not like a Cinderella glass shoe either. This shoe has shredded glass uppers, glass lined arches and crushed glass insoles that really give you the sensation of walking on a broken windshield. Once it feels better, I plan on resuming my quest to become more gazelle like. The Rocco is quite happy as he didn't particularly care for the sprints, since it prevented him from smelling every grass blade and old dung pile he encountered. Let me tell you another thing, if Cinderella was around today, she would be wearing a nice pair of Chuck Taylors...
