Change can be a difficult thing sometimes, either a path to growth and self improvement, or a sad journey of regression and self pity.  It's been difficult to read the newspaper and all the race reports today,  heaven knows I would have given anything to have been there.    However it just was not meant to be this year.   

Thats ok though because  I have this strange feeling come over lately brought about by a renewed sense of faith that everything has it's proper place and time you know.  And it is this;  I am strong. I am healthy with no serious adversities.   There is this very large feeling of personal power beginning to well up inside that is almost like a quickening of sorts, like when your headed down the highway and the engine is beginning to finally wind up to it's mechanical potential.   

Time to run. 

PM-7 miles with hills.  3.5 miles up in 24:57 and 3.5 miles coming home in 19:33.  Felt easy for some reason.   92 degrees.  Late afternoon. 4 mile jog later.

PM2-4 miles easy at 8/min pace.
