"…each day I take to the roads as a beginner, a child, a poet. Seeking the innocence of the beginner, the wonder of the child and the vision of the poet. Hoping for new appreciation of the landscape, a new perspective of my inner world , some new insights on life, a new response to existence and myself.

There are times, more often than the good times, when I fail. I never do pierce the shield. I return with a shopping list of things to do tomorrow. The miraculous has gone unseen. The message has gone unheard. I have had one of those loveless days on a lovely day for love.

Still, there is always the chance I'll have beginner's luck. And this run, this hour, this day may begin in delight and end in wisdom."

charged up

7.85 miles in 1h07min.

finally the snow started melting away, and most of the sidewalks and roads are runnable.
my previous two workouts i did on a treadmill. my long run on sun was cut in half and my yesterday's run was 6.5 miles in 46min. I felt like a wuss today, with just 14 miles in the previous three days behind my belt. All that put behind, -  the weather is excellent, 52oF, sunny as only in Arizona it can be, NO wind and my brooks on my feet. I felt really strong up until my stomach and shin splint said FCK U. Cramps and pain. I told myself grow a pair, your body won't tell you how you going to run. That made me feel better and i finished my workout.
I am already trying to envision the XTERRA half on sun. I'm planning on putting everything i've got into this race.
