Only 21 Kilometers

Nadia and I were in the kitchen making fried rice, and I found myself talking about organized religion, a subject that I try not to bring up with loved ones, but I felt compelled to talk about today. I told Nadia that I thought that the point of religion is not so much to believe what you're told as much as figuring things out for yourself. I think I must have been talking to myself. Anyway, it's a pleasant 49F with a wonderful wind advisory. Tonight, Nadia and I will devote 5 hours to going 20 miles (something that is quite pleasant after dark) in order to stay on schedule. One of the things (other than hopefully a few ultras) I would like to do is the Little Rock Marathon with Nadia. She loves to go out and run. She has even shown that she can run 15 miles in the past! Anyway, that's the plan for today. Arrowhead can wait for a year or two. I am still shooting for the Rocky Raccoon, as well as some other runs that my mom and Scott have told me about. On another note, I find the idea of a vision quest more appealing than competition (both can be found in the ultras), so I'm also going to go to Subiaco sometime to talk to the monks at the monastery to see how I can expand my spirituality in as many ways as possible. Note: I really do not like organized religion. 2nd Note: I love spirituality and God. 3rd Note: What I found in the desert was what one would find on a vision quest, so I'm hoping to experience such an amazing revelation again. 4th Note (Latest): It's pretty difficult to run in cold weather!!!!
