If I am lost it's only for a little while

I can hear you
Now and then, the sound is almost gone
Well, I'd be near you
If you were willing to be near anyone

I did a rather awful 3.5 around the neighborhood today. My lungs ache. Dr will hopefully have solutions tomorrow.

Grateful

So I was lost, go count the cost,
Before you go to the Holland Road,
With your heart like a stone you spared no time in lashing out,
And I knew your pain and the effect of my shame, but you cut me down,
You cut me down
- Mumford & Sons - Holland Road

I got a beautiful run on the mountain today. It was cool and overcast. I contemplated where I was last year at this time, and how different my life is today than what I thought it would be. A lot happens in a year. I feel compassion for myself and others. We've all been lost before.

Just because her youth is fading
Doesn't mean she's not worth dating

I hadn't run since Sunday when I did 4.5 on the mountain so I was a little disheartened when I had to go to dinner last night in San Diego, this leaving my running clothes crisp and clean in my suitcase. But I had a very fortunate window after meetings today and before my flight, so I searched the map for a beach to finish the day and I was so lucky to get in a 4.5 mile run/hike in Torrey Pines. What a beautiful and uplifting experience. It was my favorite kind of run - exploring a place I've never been. Alas, I missed my airport drinking window. Fortunately I got an upgrade on my flight and am sipping wine delicately in first class whilst emitting a raucous stench from my sweaty body. Lucky guy sitting next to me.

The heart of a man

Oh, the heart of a man
The secrets they bury within
And oh, the causes that force his poor hand Lead to being enslaved, this deceiving again

I just wrote a cool post that disappeared. Something about feeling like a stranger in my own country. I don't have the energy or heart to write it again. I did 3.5 today and Tuesday.

Alone

Are you alone like me?
Alone but not lonely

I'm so glad JEW is making music again. Today I took to the mountain and it wasn't pretty. First time since Bisbee, I believe, which was awesome and fun btw. I waited until 12:30 to go and of course it was hot. Ran some good parts on the way up but not much on the way down. Last Friday I did 3.5 around the hood for the sole purpose of sweating off a couple pounds for my weigh in - this after spending an unplanned and unwanted night in LA after my flight was cancelled. If this heat would let up I would be much better!! Yesterday I spent some time touring around northern AZ, a little light hiking but no running, and I was reminded why I love it here so much.
