Relatively Quiet
It's been a relatively quiet week on all fronts. I've spent a good portion of this week not doing much, resting, and generally enjoying this fine piece of real estate that I call home. I'm pleased to report that I don't have any wild and crazy stories about grizzly bears or misplacing friends in the mountains. Instead, life is proceeding as per normal, which is fine, just fine.
The biggest deal of the week was that I turned 28 on August 23rd. My birthday was pleasantly uneventful. I did some running and did some hiking. My friend and I spent the day successfully navigating a difficult and poorly marked route that was supposed to be a 14 mile long developed trail. The result of our efforts was well worthwhile, though: sitting on the edge of a clear blue high alpine lake, in the shadow of a tall mountain still laced with persistent snowfields. In all, a perfect birthday in my book, even if I ate leftovers at 10:30 pm.
I'm "tapering" this week, running a bit less than normal. This weekend's runs will only be 2:15 and 1:15, all on trails. I did another 1:40 run on trails yesterday. Aside from these 3 runs, the rest of the week have been 45 minutes or less of running each day.
I miss running. Seriously.

...as I said to Beth my wife says I should have worked in a radio station... Happy Belated birthday with the company of wonderful stevie wonder :)
"Happy Birthday"
You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world
The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so

Happy belated birthday too! Sounds like you had a great one...even if you did eat leftovers for dinner. :)

oh happy happy birthday! I'm so far behind on my reading here, but I'm glad I caught this entry before it was too embarrassingly late to wish you a happy day!
