All very good things to run to and from Mel...

That's the way to be. :)
Happy Friday, Mel! Hope you have an excellent weekend!
Amen sista!
"I'm running away from things I thought I couldn't do" - DITTO!
Awesome list and a good one to look at on those days when you DO feel like you're going in circles.
It's the confidence you've gained over the years in yourself that keeps you "away" from the things you want to be away from!
Running has definitely changed a lot of our lives! Who would have thought?!
Running has helped you also to face those things you run away from, so you're not really running "away" from, you're just not needing them anymore!
Awesome post Mel......never think for a moment that you're NOT a great role model for your son!
I love this post and so feel ya!!!
Love it!!!

It it sounds like you are right where you need to be and you've got a compass leading you in the right direction.

Great post, Mel. Yes! Have a great weekend :-)
I'm always running both away from and towards my last and next serving of cake, ice cream and chips ;)
Seriously, my confidence and general happiness has improved with running/training. I have to keep it up though because during those weeks were I don't train much, I'm told I get quite grumpy...
Very inspirational post! LOVE it!
I'm running toward lifelong goals!
I'm running away from excuses!
Once again you have given me goosebumps. Another great post. I love your blog makeover also. Have a great weekend.
you always come up with such creative posts. very nice!!
so very true. I have thought before about what I'm trying to run out in those long runs...right now my goal is to just run towards things and focus solely on the good and stop with worrying at all about the bad.
I love this, thanks for sharing. A most excellent, inspiring list.
Hehe I'm with you on the scale!
Great post, and I love your new header with your new bike! :)
Riding or running in circles is fine as long it's a spiral and you are going upwards ;-)
I agree with the comments above. Nice blog make-over!
Love this post... Sorry I am sooo far behind on reading..
Stellar as always!!! Love the new top banner, the bike porn stands out rather nicely.
I want to print this post out and put it on my cube for inspiration!
