Vacation Week
I am glad my marathon season is finally over. I was training for Boston for over 8 months.
It is hard to find the space in my head to see clearly what I plan to do next, but the calendar is forming. It seems I am continually being drawn to the coast although I fantasize about the mountains and deserts. The calendar has tentative holdings for Myrtle Beach and Charleston.
