Coach,
Driving to Mammoth last week I was composing haikus. Here's one of them:
Mojave sunrise (5)
Reflects off the Sierras (7)
Cold wind on my back (5)
What a good way to pass time and injoy the ride.
Namaste,
New Warrior Student Mackel

Ilgbro,
I bow humbly to DL today.� I was struck yesterday as I walked down to my gym at home.� On the stairwell I have various tribal photos and posters to inspire the chi as one enters the Temple.� One section has my team XC photos.� High school league championship team from 1977 and my two college XC teams from 1993 and 1994.� Here it is 2005 and friggin� Ilgbro is getting me stoked to train for the 2006 Mt. Taylor�and I�m fit and adventurous enough to do it!� Then today some Ilg lineage and stories of garra endurance chi.� What a wonderful thing WF can provide the human experience.� Dude�we are so called �middle age� but still travel at max velocity!� I was thinking about how many guys from my former XC teams could even run one lap let alone blast off into an ultra endurance event in overdrive�probably none except for the renegade of funk rj!� We should NOT be the exception dammit!� People can do so much more, yet most in this country do nothing, or nothing of real value anyway in regards to health and fitness.� Few will find the fitness path, but those that do can run to the top for yoga and breath.� Again, great DL.
Feeble but fit rj!
