A run around Walden...

Greetings,
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
James was home from Miami and on Saturday a.m. we met to run at Walden Pond... (his idea!) What a great morning... the path around the pond was muddy, rough and spectacular. We passed a pack of runners along the way and I was tempted to ask "Are you training for Boston?" The easy commaraderie that runners share is one of things I like best about running...
The run offered James and I some quality time to catch up and before we knew it we had run from Concord to Wayland. A run for the memory books.

Also enjoyed some time with Maria on Thanksgiving Day down on Cape Cod. She was home from college and in the midst of preparing for final papers and exams... remember those days?
Kept up with training while on the Cape and had the chance to run in the pouring rain and wind in Welfleet on Friday a.m.
Passed by The Beachcomber, a haven for surfers and home to some great family memories... we have photos of Katherine and Aidan together on the beach here in 2008. The sign out front said "We're closed for the season. Why? Because it's freezin'" along with a picture of a snowman holding a surf board. Too funny.

The journey continues...

This week in honor of the run at Walden Pond, I'll leave you with a quote from Thoreau.

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers. Henry David Thoreau

As for the iPod...
