My beautiful friend. I will never stop missing you.

There is only one today. This one. All others are illusion ... memory, fantasy.

Saw a bald eagle kill a seagull. I was with the pups at Killarney park. When we arrived the two birds were in the air, the eagle chasing the seagull. At first I thought the eagle was just trying to scare the seagull away. But eventually the eagle grabbed the seagull in its talons and dropped to the ground with it. And proceeded to eat it. It's the first time I've felt sorry for a seagull.

A wonderful day on Burnaby Mountain today. 18 miles. Wrapping up the week with my first 50-mile week of 2020. Happy with that. Still ... so far to go.

I dreamed about you. Nothing I can do about that.

Love running trail at night. Just me. And my headlamp … my Universe is the 10 foot swath it cuts out of the darkness.

And if you see the Armorer give her a hug for me. She may appear as an aid station volunteer named Dave.

There is you.
And then there is more than you.
Aspire to be more than you.

So I took the plunge and submitted my DNA to Ancestry.com. Got the results today. It turns out that I’m the direct descendant of a primate that lived 66 million years ago in what is now North Africa. Who knew??!!?? So exciting. This changes everything!!! So glad I overcame my fear of sending my genetic makeup to complete fucking strangers.

"In 2073 Dr. Sarah Wong isolated a symbiotic cross-species virus produced by dogs (Canisvirus  [Wong [V.3-2X09]]). Studies showed that close, prolonged exposure to dogs fostered transmission of the virus to humans. Infected humans had an average increase in life expectancy of  6.7 years. All attempts to produce an equivalent inoculation failed for reasons unknown."

Run. All else will flow from that.

Nothing you do on race day can make up for what you don't do now. Train diligently.

You be chasing twisters in the canyon. Be mindful of the Mudhorns.

This one is for you angel. My number one. My only one. My M. Thank you for this wonderful journey.

Conscience before self.

When life hands you lemons, try to remember all the times it handed you apples.

You can take the trail runner out of Corvallis.
But you can never take Corvallis out of the trail runner.
