Happy Vernal Equinox!

"A little madness in the Spring/Is wholesome even for the King." Emily Dickinson

That must be why the Marathon takes place in it.

Training for the day was a lunch-time visit to the gym. Some weight lifting and 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Not really much fun. Don't feel it made me much stronger.

Y'know, I just don't feel ready to run 26.2 miles. Of course, I have never been fully prepared for anything in my life, and most things have worked out just fine! I find that by toddling along in the general direction in which I want to go, I eventually get there, wherever "there" turns out to be. It's the journey, not the destination, as they say.

Here's a little first day of Spring treat for those who enjoy the process of finding out where you want to go: www.gracecathedral.com
Click on "labyrinths" and poke around till you find the "online interactive labyrinth"--it's fun, in the best possible sense.
