- Statement: "We can come together as many nations and start to collectively make all the difference.” – Jason Loutitt, 2007
Dresden Germany was our resting place last night and the city is an incredible collection of museums, sculptures, architecture and sunshine.
This morning I went for an early 40min run to see the sights. It could of been easy for me to go and walk around last night when we got in but my priority is on recovery so that I may be able to be at my best for the next day. My running leg of 10 miles is the 4th of our team so I decided to jump on the bike and ride beside our first runner. My 10 mile run will begin at 1:30 PM here today. I will wave to every single person to walk, run, ride or drive by me with either my hands, eyes or my spirit. They are already waving back. May they hold water in their hearts.
Poem of the Day
I wrecked a spider web today
One I through was struck with awe
For in forgetting my spirit in doing my tasks The spider web began to fall
Mark this moment oh spider you
For I ask the earth for help
Help me keep my spirit first
Before task, decision, hope or ambition
>From these reminded moments so
We can find the method so
If we stray off our paths
A guidance, a direction will always show
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.
September 2 - Flying team colours!
With the last few days of our run looming and the month changing, emotions are swelling like I mentioned in my previous blog.
August 25 - 'Our home and Native land...'
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!
August 1st - The Blue Planet Run in Japan.
'The vending machines on the top of Mount Fuji.'
