View From The Top

From the top of Kennesaw Mountain on a clear morning, the view is almost limitless. This morning was no exception. Cindy and I decided that we would tackle the mountain this morning during our long run, and the payoff speaks for itself. Sunrises at KEMO are a lot like the sunsets on Cape Cod; each one is different and they are all beautiful. At the risk of displaying my ignorance or sounding irreverent, I wonder if God ever looks around and says, "Wow!".


Cindy and I are beginning to pick up the weekly mileage a bit. A couple of friends from church have asked us to help them train for a fall marathon, and we may end up competing ourselves. While we are far from expert runners, we do have experiences that we are happy to share, both successes and failures. So, look for us in the field this fall. Cindy only has 12 minutes to shave for a Boston qualifier.


We've had a busy spring so far here in Big Shanty. My parents came for their first visit last week. They got to do a little sightseeing, and Dad even hiked up the mountain with me. Their time with us was topped of by a visit to The Varsity. "What'll ya have???!!!!" My answer to that question was three chili dogs, onion rings, lemonade and half of Cindy's milkshake, followed by a long night of indigestion!!


I'll be planting my first flower bed in a couple of weeks. Any tips will certainly be appreciated, and humorous updates are sure to follow.
