The Thinker

St. Joe park in Farmington is beautiful right now; all the leaves changing color, deer, turkey, and the perfect running temperatures. This 11 mile loop gives your mind time to drift, think, and zone out. Lately I have really began to re-focus on form, strength, and times among other things. Boston 2009 will have been 4 four years ago IF I ever re-qualify and the times will be lower the next time I try to gain entrance. Running has taken Aimee and I lots of places, places we may have never gone if not for running. A new school week begins in 2 days and I am teaching something new that may or may not be fully planned. Who plays football and what time this weekend? Can I get a full round of golf in today? Wonder what Aimee's thinking about? Last time I was here it took me this much longer or shorter. I bet I'll hit the next mile at that tree. Wonder what my family is up to? After I finish how about weights? If a bear popped out of the trees right now what would I do? These are some of the random things when given too much running time, but man it sure is beautiful.

On a side not, Aimee and I were watching everyone run today at Chicago and we really got excited for Houston even though it is 3 full months away. I never thought I would be a runner, let alone watch the live stream of a marathon. How fun could it possible be watching someone run? We loved it.
