The Heron

I read the heron symbolizes stillness and tranquility, and that these two things are needed to recognize opportunities. It also signifies determination. There is a sense of independence about the heron. It prefers to hunt alone, but it can also flourish when with a crowd. As I prepare for my trip, I find myself relating to the heron and their sense of independence. During my two month adventure, I will be with people and I will be alone. I look forward to both. However, those of you who know me well, know that solitude is something I crave – I feel it is good for the soul. Solitude has been linked to increased happiness, better life satisfaction, and improved stress management.

The adventure starts in 5 days! I will have my running shoes with me and my camera! Race results and many many photos will be shared here. Don’t forget to keep in touch!!
