Butterfly Dreams


The first silvery blue butterflies have started to fly on the PV Peninsula. Looking forward to looking for them, particularly in the Malaga area, where they are thought to fly ~March - May.

Senstive Chaos

Back pain sucks. No 50K last year due to pain in the lower back-glute area. Physical therapy helps, but the chiropractric work is a miracle. An "investment" in my future. I knew, but am incredibly surprised how connected everything is to my spine and nerves that run down that delicate spinal tunnel.

3 weeks and change until the Catalina Marathon. I am registered and locked in. I follwed my high mileage week with a nasty cold that set me back a bit. Stupid planes. Then I become that guy that sits next to you and sniffs and blows his nose the whole flight. I hate that. Anyway, really looking forward to the hills and 5+ hours of running on the edge of the western world....

Working through the pain and getting better.
