My declaration for 2009 is to run 1,000 miles. So far this year I've run the following:
Saturday, January 10, 5 miles
Friday, January 16, 1 mile
Saturday, January 17, 6 miles
Monday, January 19, 5 miles
Tuesday, January 20, 3.1 miles
Wednesday, January 21, 3.6 miles
Thursday, January 22, 3.1 miles
Saturday, January 24, 5.5 miles
From this point forward my goal will be to post at least weekly, and I'd love it if someone had a mileage counter type "gadget" that I could use to keep a running tally. According to my math I'm at 32.3 miles for the year, and though I'm slightly off the average pace I'll need to reach my goal for the year I'm feeling good about where I am having not really gotten off to a great start. Good night for now, and don't forget to be Lions!

Always dream and shoot higher than you know how to. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself!
Calling All Lions!!
I came up with the mantra “Lion for a Day” when I began training for the Saint George Marathon last year. It actually is taken from a famous black and white photo taken in 1970 from photographer George Rodriguez; it reads: “It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.” I’d like to invite you to join me in declaring your desire to rise up, and live as a LION!
Whether it’s running a marathon or a 5k. Whether it’s sitting for the LSAT exam when no one thought it possible or taking on cancer and winning. Whether it’s finally kicking a bad habit or beginning a new one, we welcome it all. My goal is to develop this into a place where likeminded people can come and pledge their desires, and find the support to make that dream a reality. Eventually this will even be a place where we can make a united effort to also give back to those who may not have the resources to live as a lion. I welcome you to our site, and am glad you heeded the call…Calling all Lions!!
