Been a while since I posted - been laid up most of the summer, and volunteering at events like the 
Berryman Adventure Race, Dogwood Canyon 50K, Trail Masons Workday, and the Turkey Trot. It has been nice to see the view of the trails from another 
perspective.
If you are on 
Facebook, you 
should check out 
Springfield Missouri Trail Runners and 
Trail Masons Association. If you are not on 
Facebook, you should join in!
I'm still planning on going to White Rock, but just as I was finishing rehab on 
Achilles, I started a bout of plantar 
faciatis. Doc says it's all in the calves (loosening them up) and getting good 
orthodics for my shoes. Signs of getting older. (not old, just older).
I am thankful that I can still get out and help make some events, for great friends, and for my wife, Joyce, who does not make me put up 
Christmas lights outside. We should all give thanks for the trails and open space we enjoy, and for our health every day.
Looking forward to getting back on 
the trail, and maybe seeing you there!
