Undeniably, much of life is far beyond our control. Yet it seems prudent to consciously develop who we are, instead of living reactively. Maybe we should work backwards? What would be cool on a headstone?

Especially xyzlacatotic! Working backward from your epitaph is pretty good advice for living your life — thanks for the perspective. Tomorrow’s our costumed scamper – looking forward to watching the kids run. “He scampered” wouldn’t be a bad remembrance. 🙂

How fun! I’m running a wine Crush 10k tomorrow and “A Very Poplar Run” near Boardman next Saturday, then the Columbia River Classic a couple of weeks later. This will be by far the most organized runs I’ve ever done in one year. Yay! It’s nice to anticipate something shorter than a marathon!!! 🙂

Thanks! Maybe I’ll get my speed up so I can chase you at the Columbia River Classic? I’m loading up on pesto tonight because it seems to help me run, and even if it doesn’t, what the hell! If I’m going down, I’m going down with garlic oozing from my pores! 🙂

Now THERE’S an idea for a Halloween costume! 🙂 I have been slacking, and so have great cause to fear, O Marathon Man! 🙂
