Fleet Feet

Running outside in spring always brings me back to track practice in highschool. Sweat dripping down the small of my back, mixed with sunshine, cut grass, dirt, pounding heels, and the sound of my beating heart. I felt much lighter and fleeter then, but the euphoria is still the same. I think I'm really going to try to get back into a running regimine. I never felt as healthy and strong as I did when I could run a mile under 6 minutes. Now I'd be lucky to do it in 10....Track practice--what a fun time I had. A long run up through the hills behind Scio on dirt roads was an adventure--sometimes we'd stop and swim in someone's pool, or take a dip in a creek, or hide from our track coaches watchful eyes. But mostly I remember feeling such joy in bodily motion, and bonding with my friends. I'm going to keep at it and try to capture that feeling again

Library Science

So I've finally realized I should be a libarian. What do I love to do--Read. My favorite hobby, my ultimate pleasureable activiy. Reading on car trips, reading in bed before I sleep, reading on vacation, reading on planes, reading everything and anything. Some of my favorite childhood memories are going to the David A. Howe library in Wellsville, Ny. A bookworm's heaven-- what great library. Settling in a leather chair with a good book, smelling that musky odor of leather and unturned pages--marvelling at the huge stading globe, and looking at all the places I wanted to travel when I got older. This feels right. A goal I can strive for. Stay tuned for my plan of action.
