Middle of May



Well the finger is on the mend, it is amazing how much it put a damper on my running. Every time that I ran it felt as though my heart had moved to my finger and was just pounding away. It also looked pretty silly to run with my hand up in the air above my heart, I think cars kept thinking I was flagging them down. I am sure I will suffer more than anticipated at Andy Payne Marathon, but heck that is so much of the enjoyment, plus getting to see a good group of tatur.org runners.

Looking ahead after Andy Payne, the schedule looks like: Tatur Estim8tur, Barkely Book Fair, Turkey and Taturs 50k, FlatRock 50k, Heartland 50m. I am looking forward to going longer (100m) after Heartland, just depends on scheduling. I am visiting about a potential job change that would certainly lend itself to better running...no shift work and weekends off, just don't know that I can co-exist with the normal people that work straight days.

Here is a favorite quote that I really try to live by, take courage and step out:

A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort- Sydney Smith
