I discovered on Monday that the Seneca Creek-Greenway Trail Marathon that I’d signed up for was – in fact – this Saturday.
We’ve had some recent inches of snow, but today the temp is in the 40s and tomorrow into the high 50s. There will be lots of mud, lots of water on the trails. The creeks will be flooded; there will probably be some swimming involved. In otherwords, it is a perfect run for me.
On the downside, it is day after tomorrow. However, the run fits in pretty well with my training program for Tom’s Run; it’s perhaps a week ahead of where I’d like it, and I would prefer if there were no cutoffs on Saturday. All in all though, presuming everything works the way it ought, it should be a nice check point in my preparations for May.
Stand by for a race report.
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 editorial; 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.
