The Runners High

December 18, 2008 | 3 Comments


briskly and swift travels the aging man
ascending the mount to see God’s beacon shine
focused on words that illuminate his soul
grateful for the quickening of mercies divine
Tonight I ran for the second time this week and the second time in perhaps 6 months or more. After the St. George in 2005 I haven’t trained much. I [...]

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

December 14, 2008 | 2 Comments


Over the past week I’ve felt a renewal of my dream to study the brain. This new energy came as I watched Daniel G Amen on a KUED special talk about his clinics and all the SPECT scans they’ve done and how they’ve started to use it as a diagnostic tool, something it sounds like [...]

Smiling….
So I’ve got this silly/crazy idea in my head, yeah? I read the other day about two clubs that set a goal to run a marathon in EVERY STATE. One does every state plus DC. The other is all 50 States minus DC. So, I was curious when I caught up to a guy at [...]

It’s time for a break here on the deep soul searching blog of a would be king. Every time I sit down to blog I have an unsettled feeling and I would prefer, at least for now to write privately. When I have happy news to say I’ll let ya know. Otherwise…for my eyes only.

St George Marathon Follow-Up

October 21, 2005 | Leave a Comment

I stood victorious today
Over a long held dream
I finished a goal

The race has come and gone
And others now await
To run or not to run?
What a pointless question

More to come on this ultimate coolness…Look back tomorrow.

My bags aren’t packed, I’m not ready to go. I’ll soon be standin’ outside her door. I hate to wake up and say goodbye…
Hey, so, I guess this is it. All the months of anticipation culminate here. The marathon that I’ve always wanted to run is tomorrow morning. This time on Sat. I’ll be running [...]
