Maybe I'm amazed.

Just got back from a run. It was beautiful and serene and fun and challenging and worth it, worth it, worth it. I got to see the sun rise, explore previously uncharted Topeka territory (well - for me at least)... Perfect. Oh and the picture is not from this morning - it's from last Sunday's Raintree Half Marathon in Lawrence. I'm the one in black. Maybe I'll be like Johnny Cash and run in black all the time. I guess that's the only color of running stuff I really buy, so it should work out rather nicely.

Now a storm is coming. I'm just feeling so incredibly blessed. I have legs that let me run, a cat, food, a place to live, friends and family near and far. Life is good.

By the way, I'm running the marathon in a few weeks and I'm running each mile for a different person. So I'm putting the list here even though I don't know who's out there reading - but if you are, I'll be thinking about you all during your mile and praying for you and remembering things you have done to encourage me and times when you have inspired me.
