Old wounds and sand dunes

Photo

A friend asked me the other day if I still ran. I said I try to go out weekly, even though my mind, my body and my time are often against me.

'You're tenacious', he replied...

This morning I ran 7 miles, 2.5 of which were on sand into 20 mph wind on a miserable Sunday in January. I am not tenacious. It is a compulsion. I have no choice in the matter. In the same way that I have no choice over blood flowing through my veins or air circulating in my lungs.

I cannot stop.

Back To School

Sunday Service - 5 miles - tired after too long off due to snow, ice, laziness and guilt.

Then I remembered why I did this and what I was missing.

Old Acquaintance

Photo

An eerily quiet Sunday service marking the final fast 5miles of 2012. A fuck of a year - that has often felt one long uphill run. The year the world ended then began again.
