20 janvier 2018. Dans ma tête, je suis! Mais, dans le miroir… In my head, I am! But, in the mirror… AND a good example from across the pond.
Dans Ma tête Dans ma tête: I’m BRISK, I’m active, I’m fast, and energetic. I’m young, I’m limber, I’m awake. Dans ma tête – I’m all these things. In the mirror: I’m slow, I’m idle, I’m listless, and tired. I’m old, I’m stiff, I’m always falling asleep. In the mirror – I’m all these things.…

16 janvier 2018. Mot de la semaine or Word of the week: Fort, Forte / Strong.
Sometimes things come out of the blue. They don’t care for the plans you have or the dreams you dream. They just want you. This thing can’t have you! It can’t have you – you are stronger than this thing. It has no idea what it is up against. Mon amie – tu est très…

Novembre 13, 2017. J’ai Couru 50 Miles! C’est Fini. I Did It!
I ran 50 miles in 11 hours and 30 minutes – C’est fini! Je suis très heureux. Mais, je ne peux pas parler français. Intesting enough, I could not remember much of anything while I was running let alone French. I actually resorted to singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall, which actually worked quite well. The first 5…
