Our summer was unusual in that, for the most part, we only had one child at home! For a brief time in April everyone was home - even Nathaniel, on leave from Afghanistan. We had a houseful again, with the activities, special meals, and memories made that accompany each of our reunions. Shortly thereafter, however, our family dispersed and we had a flurry of activity before settling down to a mostly quiet, and brief, summer.

Summer Run-Down
This has been a rather hectic, unstructured, running- literally- in every direction, sort of Summer. I will not attempt to re-construct the entire past several months now, but merely share the highlights. I may even miss some of those. Here's one aspect of my summer...
Last spring when I resumed my running I must have felt awfully good about it. In a flush of optimistic confidence I registered for not one, but two fall races. While one of those races was a repeat of last year's half-marathon, the second race was a full marathon. (Yeah, like I said, I must have been feeling pretty good...) Training with any regularity was difficult during the school year- and especially last May when we ended up in a hurry-scurry of events and commitments that had us all over the map, from Hyde Park, NY to southwestern Virginia, (another story entirely).
