I ran to chase the sunset, like an inverted lava flow, fiery orange cooling to smoky grey.  The wind kept company, and distracted all the bugs.  As the cloudy sky darkened, the foothills dimly glowed in the foreground of black peaks.

5 hr. at mile 15 and 21, Smarties till then.  That's the long and short of it.  I also want to say, I love cookies too, but not enough to name my blog after that attribute.  But I'm totally fine with those who do.

How is your anxiety level this time around compared to last year. It sounds like you have a plan and a good 'tude to go with it.

Beautifully written running poetry Kam!

I feel tranquil. But unlike Rachelle, my marathon isn't in 4 days. I suppose two weeks from now, I'll have ants in my pants.

I'm not the one who names my shoes after chewy sprees. And why chewy? The crunchy ones are the exact same color...

From allie on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 15:08:33 from 161.38.218.168

chewy is strictly better than crunchy -- the only exception to that is the granola bar.

From Kam on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 15:26:34 from 68.66.163.179

The chewy are pretty good because you can eat more faster.

Very nice, Kam. Very nice indeed.

I was thinking the other day about coining a word after you - 'Kammed', meaning stunned, as in how stunned you were after your half PR the other week. Yes, I think 'kammed' will now mean stunned - stunned by something good (pref. in running).

That sunset last night was pretty amazing. Smarties huh? I'll have to try this...

From Russ on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 11:58:59 from 74.114.3.253

Smarties are pretty good, but take a drink first. If not, the Smartie dust will make you choke. Or so I've heard. I, for one, have never had a choking-so-bad-due-to-Smartie-dust-I-had-to-stop-running experience. Not me. I'm smooth and sophisticated. Just like Kam's writing style.
