Looks like I'm committed ... .  I through it out there that the SoJo half-marathon might be something that would be fun to run this October.  Somehow it's turned into a whole group of people that have joined in since I'm running in it?!.  Now I don't want to let them down!

Hope the mileage goes well as I train for it.  I prefer to run off road, but have been running mainly on pavement lately.  Not sure how it will feel when I start adding some longer distance runs in.

Reminder to self: Don't run during the heat of the day!

Actually, I ran as it was starting to cool off, but it was still pretty warm with the sun still high in the sky. Breezes off the lake kept things somewhat pleasant at times.  A lot of natural grasses around here that grows long and sways in the breezes.  Kind of pleasant setting for my somewhat tortured efforts.

 My favorite poem ...

Summer grasses
are all that remains
of warrior's dreams.
-- Matsuo Basho

Basho writes as he views an ancient battlefield in Hiraizumi, Japan.  The former battlefield heralded in history swayed with summer grasses.
