heard on a podcast this morning during a 20 miler
“only 0.1 of 1% of the world’s population have run a marathon”
this afternoon, my legs tell me there’s a damn good reason for that.
moby – run on

this morning i participated in the london demonstrations in support of burma.
there is nothing so moving to me as being part of a show of numbers, taking to the streets in force, demanding attention from the government on behalf of a cause you feel in your bones to be right. to be passionate and vocal and strident, and to be surrounded by others who feel the same.
it’s a beautiful thing.
a few photos (though it is difficult to march and snap pics at the same time!)

stop! you there! in those teeny-tiny pencil-skinny jeans? with the massive muffin top bulge over the waistband like over-risen bread dough?

the change in season has such a profound effect on me. it’s this time every year i long for misty mornings, long cool walks in the woods, crispy leaves edged with frost.
jewel-red cranberry bogs, squat pumpkins, clouds of warm breath hanging in brisk air, hills of mingled gold and green, hot cups of cider, glassy ponds in sunlight, doors hung with clusters of indian corn, apple picking excursions, burnished horsechestnuts littering the pavement, aisles of halloween candy, children bundled up for the morning schoolbus.
every year, it blindsides me. the ache for a new england fall is as sharp as the surprise of the season’s first cold snap.
the longer i’m away, the more i miss it.
kings of convenience – gold in the air of summer

sigh.
