Tomorrow morning I will be running the St. George Marathon. I don't know how I will do, because I haven't been able to run nearly as much as I would like too. My right hamstring continues to get tight whenever I run and I have been trying to sort that out. I've tried stretching, various exercises, ice, massage, you name it but still it is taking a long time to get back to running the way I know that I am able too. This week, in hopes that lots of rest will do the trick, I ran only one mile total! I will be well rested but I am hoping not totally stale and out of shape. I will let you know how it went and add another day to the JMT blog on Sunday.
Ultrarunning, hiking, climbing mountains, essentially "traveling by foot" to the wild pure places still left on the Earth has become a means for many to stay connected to life’s fundamental aspects. John Muir said, “Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”
