It is in December.
I am going to attempt to qualify for Boston.
I am just going to start my training now.
I do love to run and I do love a challenge.
That doesn’t make it less stupid though.
So if there is anyone out there who wants a running partner I want one too.
Morning or night I don’t care.
Middle of the week or whatever.
My long runs will be on Saturdays.
Let me know.




Here is a Haiku for you:

Winter marathon
In the Arizona heat
Somethings wrong with me

Oh, beautiful autumn,
Beautiful fall,
The cold fire you bring
Reminds my soul
To take in a last breath,
Before the hibernation of winter.


Oh, beautiful autumn,
Beautiful fall,
How slowly you creep
Bringing with you death,
Crisp, nostalgic breezes
And the sweet sound of crunching leaves.


Yellow,
Red,
Orange,
Brown,
Swirling through the air
Stirring up your smell.
Beautiful autumn,
Beautiful fall,
Your death I love again and again.

These pictures are from last year. I will get some good ones from this year and post them soon. The mountains look so amazing right now. How I love it!

Though I didn’t know them at all my heart aches. It is all I can think of. It is a horrible tragedy. I know that all I can do is pray for those in pain so I do that and offer my silent support.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

-John Donne

To all who have been effected you are in my constant thoughts and prayers. I wish I could do more.
Here are some sites for more information so that you can offer your support and prayers too.
