"…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."

Tue 13 - Sun 18

I spent the entire week in Yuma, AZ. Got a suntan and ran altogether 40 miles in the desert. I also pushed up towards the Chocolate Mountains. Really good workout before the Xterra Half. Totally different running in upper 80's and 300' above the sea level. I really enjoyed it. A break from the norm.
Tue 13


Wed 14

I went with Mom to Los Algodones for lunch to a local joint.

Fri 16
Back in Flag. Really nice weather, but the forecast was terrible. It started snowing Sat 17 through Sun 18 and Mon 19.
Saturday run, 8.75 miles felt really good. First street run in 6 days. The ankle felt good, still weak and I felt it afterwards.
Sunday i jogged 7.5 miles in the gym, because there was at least 22 inches of fresh snow. Pics below, NAU.


Tomorrrow, i.e. i'm going to see a chiropractor/acupuncture and have some needles pricked in my ankle. Hopefully it will help me before the half on sunday.
