This hit the ultralist earlier today, and I find it absolutely delightful (particulary as I’m limping around on a twisted ankle complaining how old I feel).

Running into the summer
About three weeks ago I did the make-up ICY8 (and 8-hour race scheduled for Feb) and then transitioned into the 24-hour Adventure Trail Run down in Prince William Park. I had to jet off to Houston early Sunday morning so I stopped at c. 10 hrs and went home. It was a nice time for sure, although I can tell I’ve been pushing the knee a little hard.
I took some time off, and am back with semi-daily runs. In a couple of weeks I’ll be crewing Chelle as she makes her next solo attempt at Tom’s Run. The remainder of my summer runs are off the table, as I focus on: a) moving, b) not getting injured, and c) getting trained-up for the 100 attempt in October.

Me too…
The people that I have met are not foolish; they are aware of how tired and cold and hungry and frightened and hurting and discouraged and disoriented and how possibly injured they will become. They know they will face great physical, mental, emotional, and possibly spiritual challenges as they make their way to the finish. This is what they are racing against. This is their challenge. This is what I admire.

For many years now I've left a trail of flecks across the Internet. Just begun novels; explorations of culture, music, writing, food, the future, mountains, long distances, shallow oceans, deep canyons, oddly-composed music, even more oddly-constructed poetry, impassioned editorials, strident analysis, and a slew of images, sounds, and scribbles. Most of this has passed into the aether, waiting only for some semi-sentient algorithm to pull it from obscurity twenty years hence. In the meantime, there is this lodestone, gathering what it can.
