- Statement: "We live on a fragile planet. We each have a responsibility to do our part in caring for it.” – Lansing Brewer, 2007
Ever noticed how hard it is to wait!. Yep, me too. I have this golf ball size alien on the bottom of my right foot ( I think it ran over from my left foot ) and it is doing its' best to stop me in my tracks for a day or two or three.
I have moved from the Orange Team to the Silver Team and have to be ready to run at 3 a.m. up the hill headed to Denver. I don't want to let them down and so I am doing everything to try and get the swelling down, e.i. icing, Epsom Salt soaking, singing to it, chanting, pleading with it to quit hurting, promising it I will take time off after the run, tickling it. Thus far none of this has worked.
So, I guess just staying off of it until time to go, then lace up the shoes, quit the whining and go run. Waiting is really tough in life. We are in such a rush to get here, go there, that we sometimes lose sight of what is important. Waiting. For what? For me, time to heal.
Gotta get back to the ice.
Peace and blessings
oh, you'll have to wait for my next blog. It will probably be a little late.
OCTOBER 25 - I NEED TO GET A GRIP
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.
OCTOBER 10 - BREWER'S HOPS ACROSS AMERICA, AGAIN
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.
SEPTEMBER 26 - THE EXTRA MILE
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,
SEPTEMBER 17 - FEET BACK ON THE GROUND? NOT QUITE....GEARING UP TO RUN..AGAIN!
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.
SEPTEMBER 3 - A LABOR OF LOVE
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
SEPTEMBER 2 - A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL SUPPORT STAFF!
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.
