I look forward to beginning my run in January. To get a grip again on experiencing nature in the good way by being a part of it.

It is hard to believe it is October with temps in the low 90's, no rain in site in my neck of the woods, lakes drying up, etc, ad nauseum. No relief in site for drought in the South.

People keep asking me why I am planning to continue running and the only answer I can come up with is continuous self-renewal, the challenge, the health benefits, the cause(s), the adventure, the fun,

Ok, call me whatever but it is not time for me to end the run. I mentioned earlier that even though we finished, for the time being, the run around the world, we actually are just beginning.

Labor Day came and went as we continued our Labor of Love as global messengers/ ambassadors, running to promote awareness about the lack of safe drinking water crisis affecting1.2 billion people world

I can't say enough about the people who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the run happen, to keep us as safe as possible while on the run, to tend our aches and pains, and injuries.

We are almost back to where we began on this Blue Planet Run. Three more runs and we arrive at 12 noon in the Big Apple! We all began together and we finish together.

We are headed toward the East now with the finish line in sight a week from next Tuesday. Team Orange, e.i.

I had a wonderful visit to the St. Joseph Assisted Living Community early last evening in Missouri's capital ( checking you out to see if you know the name of the capital city ).

Oh what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day"..
