Rocky the Rock Star and me...
Me and Rocky went for a three mile run this morning.
He loves to run.

I leave tomorrow for Javelina 100 mile trail race please send me those positive vibes.
I'm running the whole race with my friend XY. Hopefully she won't kill me out there.

Zen Card....
problem solving

The way to remove
darkness from a room is
simply to turn on a
light. In the same way, to
rid yourself of any
difficulty, concentrate on
the solution
rather than the problem.

That's exactly what I'll practice today. Have a great day.

Funny, we have a cat named Rocky that we often call Rocky Rock Star. He's chased me down the street a few times, but he's more a sprinter than a distance runner :-).

Have a great time at Javelina this weekend. Nothing like an ultra to take your mind off things. I've never met XY, but I have seen her at a couple races. I love her outfits!

Catra said...

Too..Funny. My Rocky isn't very fast but he's been up Mission Peak many times.

XY is so much fun between me and her we will be stylin on the trail. Even if we have a tough time we'll still look good!
That's most important ;)
Take care Steve. What's next for you?? Are you running Quad??

Hey Ju-

Thanks so much...
I can't believe your going to run 200k in a 24 hour run that's so fast...
Still no snow in the Sierras. Hopefully it will be a low snow year since me and you will be kick ass out along the PCT in 6 months.
XOXO,
Catra

Good vibes coming your way. I leave tomorrow for a half marathon on an island off the coast of Holland called Ter Schelling.... oooo it's gonna be cold... Have a great time out there, Cat.

+vibes Catra from me to you this weekend for sure. You seem to run 100 miles like it is a walk in the park. You are awesome!

Cool Dawg!!

See ya,
Steve

...read you like punk music and made a 180 from the drug life.

A great, but super old school punk band is Minor Threat. Straight-up, hard-driving riffs but mostly about living clean. The lead singer went on to front for Fugazi...

Check 'em out - I listen to "i don't wanna hear it" where those demons try to surface or old "friends" try to reappear and suck me back in.

Good luck at Javelina

Catra,

I think my Rocky might be the same size as yours! As for races, I was going to do the Quad, but my wife convinced me it was time for me to take a "real" vacation. I will be spending 3 weeks in the Patagonia region of Chile starting on the 18th. It's some place I've always wanted to see. No racing, just lots of hiking and exploring with a small adventure tour group. I may sneak in a run or two, though ;-).

Didn't see any info on a webcast for Javelina so I'll be looking for your race report here when its over...

Catra, you look like the lady that blasted by me on Rose Peak a month or two back. I was checking with the park maintenance guy to figure out who the lady is that goes blazing along the trails behind Mission Peak.

Have fun at the Javelina.

Renee said...

Drugs still souls...I got mine back when i quit!
XOXO,
Catra

HI Catra, I am not a Carl's fan but I really appreciate their willingness to help out the MR100. Not sure about their menu either, but hopefully there will be something for you to eat there. If not, don't usually have to look to long to find a Subway. there is a health food supermarket not too far away from the finish. Probably within 8-10 miles.

I hope the weather is going to cooperate for us on the 11th and 12th.

Can't wait!!
Steve
