Tolkien defense of fairy-stories

for happy endings;
for recovery, escape,
and consolation

weather

sun at the weekend
followed by snow on Monday
sun returned today

noisy

I can't concentrate
people with no "indoor voice"
constantly talking

5.5 miles

running by myself

difficult to keep a pace

crowded at Green Lake

Seahawks lose

playoff hopes shattered

frozen tundra covered with

blinding, sticky snow

Seahawks Friday

donuts and cupcakes
frosted in lurid green/blue
big game tomorrow

blisters

a hurried morning
socks forgotten in the rush
running, regardless

moving van

yellow Penske truck
now parked in front of our house
how long will it stay?

Nike+ sensor

my feelings for you
a mixture of love and hate
please don't fail again

registered trademarks

marking ownership
replacing a small "SM"
with a "circle R"

twelfth night

taking down the tree
packing ornaments away
sweeping up needles

Bubble & Squeek

shorthair meets longhair

brothers entwined on the bed

feline yin and yang

tech socks? count us in!

fifteen-K distance
zero point seven miles short
of the ten-mile goal

Thursday morning

making detailed lists
trying to get organized
feeling more settled

luckily, it's a 3-day week...

surrounding clutter
distracts me from the day's work
a very slow start

Year of the Runner

bleary-eyed people
regretting last night's excess
resolution run
