A lot of what this journey is about is getting past–no running WAY beyond what I ended up with at about age 40. I was a mess. Depressed, not being the husband to one of the greatest women on the planet. Missing my kids coming and going. And letting weak, maladjusted people torque my life into neutral.

It was not until I quit–in 2008–that I began to get ahold of the core things that all along I thought I believed. And this run–this is about letting all of it seep out and getting ahold of and flowing with joy.

Its been a long time.

In the meantime–a lot of life is like a stone cold hotel room–and faith or trust is about receiving and creating and giving joy when all seems empty.

I am alive. I can run. The sun shines and things grow. Joel.

Reality is–I am the light of the world. So I am here to have and ooze joy.
