Goal

We're not far from New Years - one or more goals left for this year and it's time to move on to what 2013 offers. As always I hope to run farther and faster - I also hope to run deeper - deeper within myself into a state where running truly becomes an extension of spirit. It's possible - the Hopi Indians of the American southwest would run towards the Pacific ocean seeking a vision. The Marathon Monks of present day Japan run a marathon a day for a 100 consequative days before eventually double that mileage. In almost every culture there is a history of seeking enlightenment, visions and peace of mind through the simple act of running or distance hiking. Modern day pilgrims ahve used the Appalachain Trail as their quest and crusade for generations now. This year mine will be 100 miles along with shorter events as well. My goal this year is to transform my body into something it is not (not quite) yet - and that is a body with a sole purpose to cover great miles.
It should be a fun year!

Have a vision for this year and feel free to share it!
