Back before the “accident” I had been sort of training to run a few local races. As a matter of fact , less than *two days* before the accident I had asked someone I work with for a list of local races to sign up for. I used to run in the Beat The Bridge, Henry Weinhards, and a coupla other races all the time and usually didn’t do to bad, I guess. I have no idea what motivates someone to run. My dad used to tell me when I was in track in HS “you’ll end up hurting your knees” and “I don’t understand why you like to run”. Dunno, don’t have an answer for you – I just do. People who don’t run don’t understand I guess would be my answer. Well I’m starting again – finally – and I’m planning to run in a few local races in December. I didn’t really put this here because I felt that anyone would find it particularly interesting, but more that if I put it here then I’m more likely to do it. Kind of a ‘no backing out now’ thing. Silly reason probably. I try to find motivation where I can. Here are some links if anyone else is interested: ontherun and nwrunner
I’m finally going to send in my Mountaineers app next week. Got my backpack and I’m ready to meet Smokey The Bear. Hope he’s friendly…. 
Oh yeah, guess I better let Trav know so he can send in his app too….
