DAY ONE!

Week one/day one of the half-marathon training program with DD#2. Saturday was also our first looong run day. Weather was perfect, the company awesome, the trails sublime. I was a little overcautious with the ol’ knee .. worried about slipping in snow that had turned to ice, or that suddenly gave way underfoot, so we took it slow. Well, I took it slow, and that was my excuse and I’m sticking to it .

The only caveat — running with a 13-year-old makes me feel like lump of rusty old metal. Baaaaad for the ego.

Now to try and force myself back to work instead of taking a nap ….

PS: I have a tentative publication date for THE HEART OF A RENEGADE – February 2008, three months after SEDUCING THE MERCENARY in November 2007.

SIGNS

My horoscope a la Rob Brezsny: <Here’s what George Sheehan wrote in Running and Being, his book about running: “If you want to win anything–a race, your self, your life–you have to go a little berserk.” For a limited time only, I’m endorsing that strategy for your personal use, Cancerian. While I do love your sensitivity and subtlety, right now I’d like to see you get half-crazy in a ferocious devotion to the noble dream you love best.>

I need to put more passion and muscle into it? Dig even deeper? Find hotter fire? Is that what he’s saying?

My Path: Rest day. I spent my “recreation hour” in the dentist’s chair Hardly restful …
