Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

6:07 AM. 20.1 miles.  Sun, temps ranging from 65 to 73 degrees. Ran from house down Clark Lane, South through "The Ranches", some quality miles in the bird refuge, East on Glovers, South on the Cattle Rd. and back North on the cattle rd, up Glovers to the LPT, North back to Clark Lane then East to home. Everything was cool until about mile 15, then it was all a struggle to get done.

Nice miles. Do you see any interesting birds in the "bird refuge?"

From allie on Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 14:36:07 from 174.23.194.233

nice run.

From Kelli on Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 17:08:30 from 71.219.99.30

WOW!!! You should have come and run the 5k, you would have only had to run 3 miles instead of 20!!!

NICELY DONE! Now, refresh my lame memory. Do you have a marathon coming up?

From JD on Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 17:12:54 from 209.183.51.129

Lysa - whenever you want.

Sno - lots of birds! Noisy birds. A lot of ducks. Also there's a big eagles nest that was built out there. I've seen heron's before. Mostly though, just lots of birds, and I don 't know my bird names too well.

Thanks Allie - you cooking maniac.

Kelli - no marathons/races planned. Just running for fun.
