- Statement: "We can come together as many nations and start to collectively make all the difference.” – Jason Loutitt, 2007
The California sun is screaming hello even though the temperatures are staying cool. I love it! The air, the streets, the accessibility of local news and hot coffee only add to the enjoyment. Today was a 3 run day for me as a morning 41 min easy from the hotel in Fremont was a fantastic way to say hi to the US. Then with a special exchange at an Indian Temple, I was the runner who got to run in and pass on the Baton at 9 PM. From there I picked up for that runner 5 miles later so that she could spend a little more time with her husband who came to San Francisco to see her. All told, 22 miles in the books and still with a little stomach issue hanging on rather loosely… if ya catch my drift.
Poem of the day:
>From this moment with slight
of hand twisting
We push the ignorance in
our lives wishing
Off of the edge we built
up craving
Too late be the call for those
Who dare not dream with
hearts a beating
For if the thought of being
lost becomes art
Life is still being lived,
still being embraced
and still being a honored
Whether you have stepped
back from its glory, healing or hiding
Rest now with your will
in the place meant for flourishing
The place of moments pushed
off edges calling
for an honor of reason to a rest
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.

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

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
