Sendō #22: Felt Like A Dream
Lazy training month, lazy creative month, but the most consistently human I've been in years. The point remains that the art of running, both physically and mentally, leads me back to life. But where the heck am I going?

Sendō #20: Feets Don't Fail Me Now

Sendō #16 Holidays are tough. Lots of family time, long events, distant travel and big money spent. But on the positive side...lots of family time, events, travel and money spent making your loved ones happy. Sure it pisses me off that I'm feeding the corporate beast once
