Good Weather

Date: 04/20/06
Time: 8:15am
Route: Down to 162, over to Glisan, down to 148th, over to Stark then up to 172nd and home (view route)
Length:4.27 miles
Dog: Yes
Notes: Took yesterday off, just to make sure my back is feeling good. Today it didn't bother me at all, so I figure I am out of the woods.

Forgot to bring a poop bag again and wouldn't you know it, my dog took a dump. This one was far enough away from anyone's house that I just picked it up on my way to work. How does she know when I don't have a bag?

I've run 2 marathons. In the first I hit the wall at mile 18. Cramps in my legs forced me to walk for much of the last 8 miles. When I finished, I looked and felt like death. One friend at the finish line commented, "He looks gray". ~ While training for my second marathon, I often thought about mile 18. I despised it. I feared it. I fixated on it. I determined to pass it feeling differently than the first time. I even planned a small ritual to spit on the ground as I passed mile 18. ~ The second marathon was much different. Experience and wisdom gave me the opportunity to edit a scene from my life and improve upon it. As I passed the iconic marker, my vision blurred from emotion and I left my mark ~ mile 18 spit.
