Very Ferry Flurry Hurry France Dance.
As a summary for the past 8 days, I would like to inform those who are reading my blog that I was heavily involved in doing some of the mc work at the major exchange points before departing the USA.
There are so many experiences happening that these points haven't been mentioned in the daily updates. I will further include my involvements in these blogs just to let those out there know that I take to heart my role in adding energy, enjoyment and dynamics to our journey as Global Messengers. Our run which ended at 3 am in the UK, had us driving 2.5 hrs to the ferry crossing Dover-Calais(?). After the 2 hr crossing and another 2 hr drive to the hotel our day was done after we unglued our butts from the van seats in the city of Beauvais France.
Poem of the Day:
Great grandfather as the messenger before me
I ask you to tread with me in each breath
so that I may reach the shorelines of those who cry
through their bones only to wish for the peace and health
of others who have even more than themselves.
Great Grandfather I hear you in my tears and hope
that I may run so loud as to shake the universe
with my resolve to put a tap on the well of inspiration
within us all.
September 27, 2007... and still on the run!
When I think about all the great times and places that I visited this past summer, I am also reminded of all the great people.

With the last few days of our run looming and the month changing, emotions are swelling like I mentioned in my previous blog.

My return to Canada sends a current of emotion flowing through my channels of hope and inspiration.
August 17 - The Wedding
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
August 10th - 'In the company of our elders and our future generations!'
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.
August 8 -'Cali through Death Valley to the Red Sandstone Cliffs'
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
August 2 – BPR Fremont through San Jose ending at San Simeon
The California sun is screaming hello even though the temperatures are staying cool. I love it!
