Meandering the metaphysical
some thoughts and news

A day of rest. What a wonderful thing that is outside of running. As a family, we have always attempted to make Sunday a day of rest, meaning we don't engage in other normal activities that we do throughout the week. We try to avoid television, competitive activities and studying. The computer was also a stalwart avoidance on these days however we do not regard that nearly as we have in the past. The emergence of email and the Net while the kids departed for school allowed for communication between everyone thus, many Sundays found my parents emailing us all at school. I while in college did not regard these traditions as strongly but seek now to return. It seems football gained popularity as the roommates all watched and it was difficult to avoid television on Sunday afternoons. I did, however, manage to keep my studying limited to the other days of the week which was nice and a much needed break. I believe as the winter months engage us, I will seek to hold fast to the fasting of television and other "work" type activites that can be accomplished on other days. Well, tomorrow will be day three of my return to normal running and I am chomping to get back out there again on the roads and the fresh air. I do anticipate making it to one more of these this season. One final comment of note...the Sox concluded their '02 season with win while Manny wrapped up the AL batting title. Thanks for a good year Sox and we will be back at again next summer looking for the pennant!

Day one.

Can you believe it? Thirty-five days of no running and almost no exercise for that matter. Did I survive? That is yet to be determined. What a glorious and exuberating run I endured tonite through the cool and wet streets of southern cumberland county. 56 degrees, rain for my 5:35pm runtime. Just a great means for finding my way back into the lifestyle that we all have so strongly fell in love with over these past years. Now, the entire time I ran tonite, thoughts of what to pen here were in abundancy and now they escape me so utterly. Just thinking about how it felt out there and what was running through my mind the entire time...it was great to be back. The legs seemed to be there but the lungs have some work to do. The rest was nice, far too long for the opinion of many, yet it may help bolster me and help confidence to return which has been lacking for an unknown time period. Cannot predict when I will be prepared to hit the racing circuit again, if ever. Someday I am sure. Please keep in mind that this will be a bi-daily musing portal of running thoughts. Please feel free to peruse and add your thoughts when compelled. I write thoughts and not at anyone. One last note...please stop by here to see where my high school team will be racing this week. See you soon. Enjoy and keep running. Everyday.
