"I am sick of four walls and a ceiling. I have need of the sky; I have business with the grass." - Richard Hovey, American writer/poet.
When I flipped my office calendar to the month of May I found this wonderful thought. It struck a chord with me because I very often feel that way. So, I decided it was time to take my business to Mt. St Helens. I had never been there. Friday the 13th seemed like the perfect day to climb an active volcano. Turns out is was perfect - clear and warm, with a slight breeze. Well, there was a stronge wind at the top but that is typical of the crater rim. The views were amazing. Thought I would share a couple pictures here. Training with a view...doesn't get much better thant this. :-)
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." - John Bingham, runner and author. A miracle is about to start - I am training to run my first marathon on November 28, 2010 at the Amica Seattle Marathon. I will be running in memory of my brother-in-law,Bob Price. This blog is to record and share the ongoing adventure of my training. For more info about Team In Training or to donate click the link on the right.
