'The vending machines on the top of Mount Fuji.'
Notes Version:
-It is a big day today... I am meeting Taeko's Parents in Tokyo.
-My BPR run this morning was 20 miles done in 2:17:00 along the Eastern Coast of Japan in Nagoya of the Aichi and Shizuoka prefecture.
-From getting the stomach bug in Beijing, I have been a very frequent visitor to the Japanese bathroom and am extremely thankful that they are kept so clean.
-Wow... vending machines with coffee and sport drinks on every corner. For those who know me, they must know I am in heaven.
-I drove by Mount Fuji and was in awe despite not being able to see the volcano by the sea.
Poem of the day:
Legend has it that the ring surrounds the dream
of a warrior being both of the sun and moon at the same time
In shining its own reflection, this radiating light
is said to change a person who dares look into its power
With one look, you fell to the ground and called out for help
to the ancients who had passed before you...They said you must
endure what it is you have trained for and what it is you
have always sought. Then and only then will you find that
what you were looking for has been in and of you the entire
time.

When I think about all the great times and places that I visited this past summer, I am also reminded of all the great people.

With the last few days of our run looming and the month changing, emotions are swelling like I mentioned in my previous blog.

My return to Canada sends a current of emotion flowing through my channels of hope and inspiration.
August 17 - The Wedding
In Kansas running in the 99 degree heat, I ended up getting attacked by two dogs but was able to yell at them enough to keep them at bay until our exchange point vehicle came by.
August 13 - From Camp Hale to Vail
24 Miles of altitude above 8000', mountains, fresh air, an incredible team and a run to my training grounds for the last two summers combined to make it one of the best 2007 Blue Planet Run days for m
August 10th - 'In the company of our elders and our future generations!'
On the 9th we started our running from Zion National Park in Utah at 3 am. I was up last and ran the last shift from 7:45 - 8:55.
August 8 -'Cali through Death Valley to the Red Sandstone Cliffs'
Poem of the day:
Water is sacred
Simple and powerful
An essence makes life
And is life itself.
Any form of life
Is a justification of a celebration
August 2 – BPR Fremont through San Jose ending at San Simeon
The California sun is screaming hello even though the temperatures are staying cool. I love it!
