Yes you read that right my followers, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. Last night, I went to look at the results of my duathalon and discovered that I placed first in my age category and first overall for Short Duathalon female. There were a total of 102 participants and the weather was 8c -wind was of 40KPH NE wind, and steady steady rain. I know there was some skill involved, but probably a little beginners luck combined with the fact that I bet many people stayed home. Having said that, I will still take it and be proud-at least for a little while!
Today I did another brick workout, and I saw him again on my run. Mr. Fox! Now I don't know if it was the same fox I saw a while back, but this fox was beautiful and crossed my path approx. 2 feet in front of where I was running. Incredibly, the fox stood off to the side and just looked at me and after I had passed, he trotted away. Strange I say to meself, because this is the only wild creature that I haven't been freaked by. And BTW if I should of gotten freaked today would have been the day as I had spent last evening watching Billy the Exterminator!
I have to say, it is great moments like these that I truly wish I had my dad with me to celebrate. He always knew what to say. He has missed so much, meeting my Michael, dancing with me at my wedding, and meeting his grandchildren! I wonder if the fox is in someways connected to nature and my dad-I just had that thought-probabally nothing to it!

GOOD ON YOU! GOOD ON YOU! GOOD ON YOU! If you think for a split second your dad hasn't been with you on every single step of your journey - you ca-razy! If it has taken him showing his foxy self "in person" to get you to believe it, good on him too! Keep up the great work of continuing to make him and all of us so proud!

Awesome job Donna-you should be very proud of yourself and I know Dad would be very proud of you too!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Donna! I am not surprised by your success because I always knew you were awesome! Most native american tribes believe that our ancestors watch over and guide us and that we all have spirit animals. These animals represent parts of ourselves and can teach us to integrate, heal and develop both our weaknesses and our strengths. So perhaps you are not that far off in thinking that the fox has a connection with you and your father.
