Yes I do get pissed off, especially when someone I really care about has a setback while following their dream.
The latest disappointment for me is my daughter Sarah's foot which hurts so bad she can't run. She started running a few months ago and worked up to a good solid 3 mile run, then it went to hell in a handbasket when what I think is tendinitis flared up in a foot.
I've had setbacks too but deal with my personal issues better than I deal with other peoples's issues.
Why that is I don't know, I just know that it is.
Freaking brilliant? Now get well and back to kicking butt Sarah.
By the way, I ran the annual Chicago Zoo Run 5k this morning with another Sara here in the Windy City and had a fantastic morning and good solid run so I'm scrambling back after a long layoff. It was Sara's first run in seven months and she was thrilled to know she hadn't lost it all, and that made me feel good all over. Ahhhh, yes I know I'm a fluffy ol' fart and it doesn't take much to make me happy these days.
Back from two weeks vacation with family and feeling frisky, well at least refreshed. Carry on wayward sons and daughters!

- Pssst! That's me in the white hat with my friend Larry. We ran a marathon once in San Diego over 20 years ago in the spring of 1998 and boy was it hard work! Whew! Haven't seen Larry since then so I hope he's okay. Guess he's a former friend. I'm a disturbed farm boy who somehow ended up in journalism and now I'm running from it all. Veteran of 6 marathons, many 5ks, 10ks and roughly a dozen half marathons. Am doing yoga on a daily basis and am a certified yoga teacher. My preference is Vinyasa power yoga. Author of one book "The Addict" which could have been called a diary of a damn fool and am researching my second book as I run and do yoga. Nearly all of my research is done internally, which is the most mysterious place to dwell.
