I just found out that I have a sacral stress fracture. No good. I guess with the downtime, it is a time to reflect on the important things in life outside of running. Maybe I will try yoga and read more. I have been running 60-70 miles a week, so this will be a huge challenge for the next couple months. Hopefully yoga will help clear my mind and help me realize there is more to life than just running. Thanks again Thanks for the encouraging and thoughfull words.

The second is to introduce the experience of trails to someone who will always want to return to them. Recently I saw my sister in law return from a hike in terrain I'd been running for a few days. Her eyes lighted up earlier that day when I described how quickly mental chatter disappeared once out on the trial and, later that day, she headed out to hike on trails she'd earlier claimed to dislike because of their semi-desert location. She came back smiling and refreshed in ways I'd never seen her before. Priceless! It was inadvertent on my part and I'd like to make a point of sharing that with someone else this year.
