What a fantastic idea:) It is really tough running in the morning, but I love having accomplished one of my biggest challenges before 7AM! Since I run with my husband, I haven't had the experience of listening to music lately, but I look forward to sneaking a solo run to some of my favorite tunes soon! xo I love that you carry chocolate with you!

Isn't STAY great? I can't wait to read her next book! I totally agree about honoring our natural selves, but I know that fear has kept me from following my heart in the past and I've realized later that if I hadn't taken the plunge in certain situations, I wouldn't have discovered a new and improved me:) I think you're right- balance is key! xo Thanks, Tina!

I still can't motivate myself to do it in the morning - I always go out in the evening. It's a fantastic feeling though, once I sort of forced myself to get addicted to it. The 'carrot' was listening to great music and carrying a little square of chocolate in my pocket whenever I need an energy refill whilst running ;) Well done on going out running!

In fact, one of mine is running! I walk really fast on the treadmill, but I never run! I plan on running a 5k with my hubby next Spring! Take that "can't do!" HA HA! I think we switched places, I use to wake up at 6:30 every morning before I got pregnant. Now it's 9..err..9:30! LOL! :) I'm sure I'll be up early again once the baby comes! Good luck with your second book! :) I can’t wait to read your 1st!!!! :)

After reading Stay, I realized I can really get into local fiction. I think it's good to push ourselves outside our comfort zone once in awhile, but also I truly believe we should honor our natural selves. Finding the balance has been a struggle for me. I'm not going to spend my whole life trying to be and do things that are "not me." But once in awhile, it's very, very good to do something not me (refreshing!) Just need to figure out how often "once in awhile" is :) Oh super (about your second book)! After reading Stay, I realized I can really get into local fiction.
