We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive are our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers… We are the daughters of the feminists who said, ‘You can be anything,’ and we heard, ‘You have to be everything.’ Courtney E Martin. Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection is Harming Young Women

And I’ve known others 
And I’ve loved others too 
But I loved them cause they were stepping stones 
On a staircase to you

I imagine the possibilities of my life spreading out like creamer in my coffee. I pour it in and watch the cream roll in different directions, rippling up on one side of the cup and disappearing down into the dark java on the other. Who knows where I could be? All I know is that I’m glad I ended up where I am. Caitlin Boyle, Healthy Tipping Point (via 94monkeys)

In the first half of the race, don’t be an idiot. In the second half, don’t be a wimp.

Yep. This sounds about right.

The Memorial Half is in a week! Thoreau always psyches me up for a long run.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Bobbi Gibb was the first woman to run the full Boston Marathon in 1966, six years before women could officially enter the race.
My dream was that men and womencould run together and share the consciousnessof the common bond of humanitybased on a mutual commitment andsharing of what they love in life.

This is almost exactly what I am doing for Lent. Except I’m dropping social media altogether and picking up something altogether more productive (exercise, family, friends, making my house pretty). Goodbye Tumblr, see you at Easter!
