Here now

The trees are starting to show that brown haze which will be leaf-buds soon. In a few weeks that will be a greenish haze, and then the leaves will be here before we’ve noticed the change.

Until then, I am thinking maybe I have one more weekend’s ski session, and I am enjoying how I can look to Mount Toby on the drive in to work, and see the true contours of the mountain relieved in snow and the sticks of its trees.

I ran across this quote: “The difference between success and mediocrity sometimes consists of leaving about four or five things a day unsaid.” No attribution. I’m trying it out, but it’s more like “un-posted” than “unsaid.”

Just wanted to say thanks for your very helpful (and eerily meticulous) Nov 2004 notes on the Lydiard seminar you attended. I start coaching high school girls track tommorow (for the first time, eeek) and tried to google some info on drills for sprinters, and somehow came across your page, got distracted, and read all of your notes (and highlighted parts for my best distance runner)…so thanks, she and i are very appreciative..oh, and i’m impressed with your music taste, i don’t come across too many decent runners who have ever heard of alt-country, let alone seen the Neilds play in NorthHampton… Thanks again…
