BACK TO NATIONALS/JACKSONVILLE 15KM

I could not agree more to this quote.. I am very happy with where I am now and where I am heading. I am happy to step on the line at an USA National Championship event. I am happy to have people that believe in my calling. One of those people is Richard Fannin the Race Director at the Gate River 15km Run also the host race for the 15km national championships. Entering in a race as an elite is not easy, therefore I thank Richard for this opportunity. An opportunity that allows me to do many things I love to in matter of days. One of those is traveling. I find joy finding my way through airports. At times, I stared at people and wonder what their life is like. Here and there, the person that I get to sit next to during the plane ride becomes a friend. I love taking random pictures and videos. Here one of them from this trip..

The day before the race it was nice to wake up to the following quote.

This quote reminded of my main mission, my calling.
I enjoyed every minute of our visit to the Sanctuary on 8th Street. I was proud to know Richard Fannin does this every year. It made me very happy to see many elite athletes get involved. Its also in my travels where I pick up on ideas. Its here where I might seem lost or distracted, but in reality Im daydreaming of future possibilities and ways we could make our In The Arena programs better. Next would be my dream van with the ITA logo on the side venturing in Alamosa with our kids or driving from Alamosa from one airport to another taking or picking up current and hopeful Olympians for an altitude training camp in Alamosa.
For races, it makes me so happy and proud to sport my LLBean and ITA Singlet through the streets of Jacksonville and I enjoy spreading the word about the best nutritional supplement I have ever tried Untapped maple syrup..
All in all, running continues to give me more than I could ever imagined!
Be, Dream, Believe! Se, Sueña y Cree!

A More Serious Attempt

I'm serious at whatever I do. When I'm with my mom I'm a serious daughter, I eat her food and follow her orders. When I am with my nieces and nephews I enjoy breaking the rules with them and I seriously over spend my money on them. When I'm mentoring and tutoring I seriously enjoy each minute we share together and enjoy their venting stories. Well, guess what? I'm commited to run a more serious marathon on April 17th. When I speak about a more serious marathon I mean, serious. My body has been responding to more loads of training, I'm starting to feel like an elite runner again. I puff less on my easy runs and I can stride faster on my fast training. I have been so consistent on my training and have had a very solid base that it only feels right to make a more serious attempt. Please follow me on my Instagram , Twitter or Facebook accounts as I will be sharing my personal daily motivation for the next 42 days. I'm very happy to be able to step to the next level in competition again that I want to share more in detail the journey with you or anyone you may think can benefit and be motivated. More details on my comeback can be also found on this amazing interview by Salty Running.

I'm not your typical sponsor athlete, I'm an athlete who has given the opportunity to work and develop as an athlete to reach her potential while working the most flexible and lovable part time job sharing my love, knowledge and experiences with our youth since I ran my first ever marathon in 2005 in New York City. For that, I thank you, In The Arena and L.L. Bean for your unshatterable belive in my story and my work with our kids and the community. Thank you for allowing me to remain in the athtetic and civic arenas.
Here my racing calendar for the next 42 days. March 12, 2016 15km USA Championships Jacksonville, Florida March 26, 2016 Medio Maratón Venado-Charcas Charcas, San Luis Potosí (Place I was raised and born) April 17 The Lodz marathon /Marathon in Poland
