Waking the Brits and Runnin through the Night'
So today is the continuation of our night shift running. Our team of four
has the 9 pm to 3 am shift and we are slowly adjusting. It is nice to change
it up again but combined with the overseas flight and the time zone changes
it is a tough one to accomplish with as much ease as possible. Part of our
exciting journey does indeed have us peaked with energy and the adjustment
to timings. The situation is actually close to the military with timings
being important and being on a constant state of alert for changes and
demands.
Poem of the Day:
33 yrs ago part of a celebration today
For one who helped create me
celebrating his birth
The first with me in his life
A surging thought emotionally charged
instantly with such power
Awareness hoped to be within
That I am proud he is my father
Taught me respect for simplicity
and power in somehting simple like a rock
Everything both alive and not
Helped me appreciate complexity
getting something aligned and put into beauty
Assisted focusing on development
a channel, a path, a way came to being
On which to congregate
frustration into power
ShamanicaIly guided
Peacefully joined around the world

In Kansas running in the 99 degree heat, I ended up getting attacked by two dogs but was able to yell at them enough to keep them at bay until our exchange point vehicle came by.
August 13 - From Camp Hale to Vail
24 Miles of altitude above 8000', mountains, fresh air, an incredible team and a run to my training grounds for the last two summers combined to make it one of the best 2007 Blue Planet Run days for m

On the 9th we started our running from Zion National Park in Utah at 3 am. I was up last and ran the last shift from 7:45 - 8:55.

Poem of the day:
Water is sacred
Simple and powerful
An essence makes life
And is life itself.
Any form of life
Is a justification of a celebration

The California sun is screaming hello even though the temperatures are staying cool. I love it!
