Setting the Goal

Today I registered for the Calgary Half Marathon on May 31st. I'm registering because it's part of my commitment to taking my fitness to the next level and challenging myself. I've never really considered myself a runner and so this will smash those false illusions.

The Boxer

He must preserve himself.
He must dodge the punches.
He cannot win by dodging alone.
He himself must punch.

The boxer who never enters the ring never holds the title belt.
The commentator is a glorified spectator.
The spectator goes home broke.
The boxer goes home broken and beaten.

He will heal.
He is richer for the experience.
He can fight another day.
He will.

Written for my friend.

It's my birthday...

Each year we celebrate that we lapped the sun. And I did it again. Hurray for me! I'm taking the day off.
