DISTANCE RUNNING--DISTANCE READING

Sunday, December 28, 2009

The first post.

I ran a thrilling 12 mile run and would encourage all of you to take up marathoning. It is one of the world's greatest gifts. And as I have told my children for years: "the Greeks thought of it."

I am also absorbed by Joseph Campbell's A Hero with a Thousand Faces. It is a dense, thick book. But, reading it will bring you a more serene happy life. Look what it did for Campbell and the thousands of his admirers.

I am several days into a long vacation and loving every moment. 14 miles on New Year's day.
