18 long ones this am in 156 minutes - not bad at all. This was just over 30 kilometres.
Got rained in for 10 or so miles - felt gorgeous. The temps were in the mid 20's. Could use more of these! Thank you!

Olive Grove Facing the Sea...
Try to listen to music every day. I am listening to such music now, for me good music, makes me look at the world in amazement, as if seeing it for the first time. Good music is better than ten cups of coffee. Good music makes you stare into the distance and simply wait, wait until the songs ends or until your thoughts about that music have finished. Good music can change your day, I know it has changed mine...
16 LSD miles this am. Felt awesome finishing up during sun-rise.
60 lap swim at dusk twelve hours later. The water was warm and it took me an hour.

Sunday reflections...
Surprisingly, yesterday's run did not leave me sore AT all. Considering how much of myself I left while running, I was surprised. It did make me very very hungry though - its a good thing. Losing my appetite is *the* worst thing that can happen to me! I have polished off my entire stash of NY malt balls, peanut butter m and m's (the huge red baggy you get in bulk), peanut butter cups (*sigh*) and reese's - these I mixed in ice cream and sprinkled with some trail mix - hey, nuts are good for you! Anyway, I've digressed - AGAIN!!
Anyway, its 2 weeks to the half that I'm just running for fun and nothing more. and Having a run to look forward is a nice way to keep the habit going. I have a doc appointment for my knee on the 13th, I have donated blood last week and after the run I plan on 2 weeks off. My knee is not well at all and I would rather take some time off to heal, rather than being out of commission for months.
My star sign rang very true the past few days - not that I believe in these things of course - heehee. Some thoughts...Why is it that opportunities present themselves to you when you are 99% sure you are following another path? The dark mood of the monsoon (mmm, its been raining the past 2 days - and it has been gross - rain or no rain) reflects me well right now, but as some of you know, that is what I like.
It has been a reflective past couple of days - it feels like the first anniversary of my life. My life began for the second time on August 7th of last year. I rank my life in 2 phases - pre. Aug 7th and post. I developed a newer identity last year that has remained with me. Much to the chagrin of people who knew me prior to that, it will continue to remain with me. I have changed - I am not as brave in my soul as I used to be.
Anyway, just feel like floating along this sunday. I should do something - but then think better of it and decide not to.
25 laps in the pool
60 or so (have not logged this in yet) of stairs.
