About Me

I love the freedom of running. I love the sense of effortless flow and perfect purpose about 2 miles into a good run. I love the feeling that I'm barely touching the earth.


"There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is."
-- Albert Einstein


The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same.
-- Don Juan Matus to Carlos Casteneda


"If you wake up and you're not in pain, you know you're dead"
-- Russian Proverb


"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
--Thomas Alva Edison


"That quarter mile oval may be one of the few places in the world
where the bastards can't screw you over . . .
That's because there's no place to hide out there.
No way to fake it or charm your way through. . ."
-- John L. Parker Jr.


"I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great or good.
But he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing.
Whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.
-- Socrates
