Marathon #2...the training begins!

St. Jude Memphis Marathon :: Mile 14 :: December 2011

 My rhythm is back!  Training began 5 weeks ago, but tonight was the first run where joy for the sport cast out doubt. Doubt that I wasn't good enough... strong enough... disciplined enough to finish marathon #2. 

Rounding the final corner of my nine mile run tonight was bliss.
{Although, I'm quite sure I looked like a hot mess in compared to the photo above!}
 California International Marathon (race date 12/2/12) here I come!!!

Moonrise Kingdom




 "...even smart kids stick their fingers in electrical sockets sometimes."
{Bruce Willis as Captain Sharp}

"I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about."
{Jared Gilman as Sam Shakusky}

Moonrise Kingdom:
a film I will watch many times into the future, & still come away w/ something new every time
Magical. Subtle. Romantic. Humerus. Quirky. Authentic.


Cheers to 
the dysfunctional family plot line
infused w/
deadpan humor
suspension of disbelief
reasonable adolescents 
amongst unreasonable adults
w/ a well matched musical score.


Cheers to
another Wes Anderson triumph.


-Abby

Embracing the Summer Solstice


summer
invites one to stay home a little less.
days passing
on patios
 on beaches
 sun-kissed shoulders
in parks along farmer's markets
noses delighted by
scents of fresh flowers
baked goods & tomatoes eaten like autumn apples.

summer
invites one to delve into pages.
novels traipsing through the mind 
long after epilogues
 final words
& concluding messages conveyed.

summer 
invites one to passion.
sweaty sheets & beaded brows
hands caressing curves
curling pink painted toes
in the early dawn.

summer 
invites one to the road.
leaving work & unpaid bills 
beyond the rear view mirror
 laughter & leisure dancing on the air
as tire tread
presses against hot unfamiliar pavement.

summer invites you...
{it's official}
embrace.
