This day had our Green team drive down to Austria to keep up with the other teams and return to the Czech Republic to run the next day. The country of Austria was a visit I was really looking forward to but it worked out that our travels didn’t have us going through any mountains. I’ll be back. Along the way I reflected on some racing I had done in the past and kept gawking with awe at the beautiful streets and countryside of the country. In bringing the world together through running and uniting us despite our differences, it is my belief that our relationships represent our wishes for a better planet and more harmonious place to live for all living creatures. A fellow Blue Planet Runner and I have developed a friendship that is extending towards a very deep connection and it is making my heart sing.

Poem of the Day:

Smiling extraordinarily I am able to wake
>From a slumber of lonely echoes
To find another heartbeat keeping mine in tune.
>From laughing at each other I am able to wake
In the middle of aha ha ha ha
Realizing that joy defines every moment with you.
For life with you my spirit is finally able to wake
And hold a hand that seems to know where mine will be
Knowing that in coming from inside you have and will
Be with me every time I have and will
Wake.
