Imagine part II
I am imagining that I did not see rain in the forecast for Saturday-- but instead sunny skies, a little tropical breeze blowing off the ocean, with perfect surf waves...

Imagine
Imagine there's no Wall
It's easy if you try.
No hip pain below us
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the runners
Living for today.
Imagine there's no ankle pain
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing that hurts to worry about
And unlimited Gu.
Imagine all the runners
Running like the wind!
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

A new blogger
The blog welocmes Mary, who kindly sent along this post:
The Greatest Gift
Today was a great day for two reasons, I got to run and I got to run with Lani. We made a date to run last night. I shot Lani an email and in subject line it said, “Run tomorrow?” She quickly responded with a how about 11:30 and potential locations. I responded that 11:30 would be great and she could choose the location. Lani chose the Brickyard. And what a beautiful day it was to run there. The only problem we experienced was dodging all the cyclists.
I arrived promptly at 11:27. Lani was already there. I quickly got out of my car and met her. We greeted each other accordingly, and then Lani tells me, “You need to take it easy on me because I was just on my bike for 4 hours.” She had just finished before she met me. I was aghast. I couldn’t believe it. I told her of course we could take it easy. I’m not breaking any records these days.
I was so happy when we started our run because I couldn’t believe that Lani had already done 4 hours on her bike and yet she still met with me to run. I felt I had received the greatest gift ever. I got to run and I got to run with Lani. Thank you Lani for making today such a great day and running with me.
Thanks for Blogging (and running Mary). I agree about those cyclists that were trying to run us down, that was intense. Don't they know how much more challenging it is to torture one's self on a bike trainer, they should all be inside enjoying the pain and suffering and leave the trail to the runners- Lani
Lee has set up the blog so that emails to:
teamprimalforce.brickyarders@blogger DOT COM will post a message to the blog, or as Mary did, you can email me at Laniralston@msn DOT COM. Please note the dot coms are spelled out again so we don't get anymore spam, although the watches in those ads were kinda nice.

ultra fever
This is a little bit geeky but ... I can't resist. This is a screenshot of a computer program I've written that maintains a "linked list." Don't ask, it's pretty technical. Anyway, you enter age and name data and then print your list. It comes out in name sorted order. These are all the people I know who are either running the Jack Bristol Lake Waramaug Ultras or who will be doing a loop or two to support them.
For the inner geek, the "source code" of the program, for your light reading pleasure, is here.

Tomorrow
Tray and I were thinking it might be fun to start the run at Sperry Park tomorrow instead of at the regular parking lot. This is in Avon. You get to it when you run north on the trail after about 8 miles. By car, you can take Route 10 in Farmington center and head north. It's right on the Greenway. I have 10 miles in mind, 5 from Sperry Park heading north, turn around and come back. Just an idea. Email me or post here what you think of this idea. This is one way to get to know more of the trail.
I second the motion to run the Granby 10K on April 30. This is exactly 1 week after the ultra so hopefully Lani's, Tray's and my legs will still be usable. Who's gonna bake the cake? This is the 40th annual for both our very own Lani and the race.
Speaking of Lani, great idea to go to Brickyard the very next day (May 1) and help in the cleanup. My brother will be visiting us that day so we could run, cleanup and celebrate at our favorite place.
