it has been too long.
i took a long time off from running. AND a long time off from blogging. but i haven't been sitting still, no no no. but it is time to jump back into running before it passes me by.
house cleaning - big ups to my brother for just KILLIN' in the cascade runoff. i didn't participate because of the trail run the week before and the africa-hot temps (in other words, i whimped out), but that didn't stop kenya. not only did he take on the 15K, he ran it in 1:03 - that's 6:51 miles folks. um, WOW.
then the backpacking. great journey from needle peak to spruce tree campground along the st. joe river. we camped for two days in this little pocket of paradise. words fail to illustrate how gorgeous it was. we stayed for two days, then hiked out 10 miles in one day. because of better prep (and, for me, footwear) this year, we all remained relatively blister free and i think everyone came back with toenails intact. didn't feel like running up in idaho, my body was pretty achey from that long hike. so i gave myself a complete break. my main mode of transportation that week was floating down river in an inner tube. with a dog. and a beer. heaven...
so this morning i ran - a very short run. it was a quiet, cool morning - tho they say it will hit 90 by day's end. so i figured i run now, or i won't get one in during this small heat wave. no iboob - batteries down. so i listenened to the wind, and the occasional car. i stopped running at brazee and 15th, decided to walk the rest of the way. i was feeling so good. i was going over in my head - i love myself, i love my body, i love my family, i love my friends, i love...and then i saw the flattened carcass of a possum in the ivy to my left. mouth agape - bloody holes where eyes used to be. death is strange looking. shook me out of my little personal love-fest.
on to happier subject - HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY KEN AND BETHANN HYLAND!! and i'm glad dad now knows of democratic whiskey options...!

Let's hear it for liquor of the proper political persuasion. And when in doubt...drink Tequila.
yes - not that anyone reads this thing, but if anyone out there is looking for local businesses they can support who in turn support progressive ideas and causes - get on down to gino's in sellwood for some fine italian food!
