Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.". Detroit Free Press International Half Marathon. I really should try to be better about blogging my races. I did a few good ones this past summer to get ready for the big cahuna. One of the things I love about big events like this is all the signs people hold as they cheer for the runners. Some of the really good ones I saw:. Run like you stole something".

'NETTE EFFECT: Getting my groove back
http://nette-effect.blogspot.com/2012/07/getting-my-groove-back.html
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.". Getting my groove back. Crazy how life goes sometimes. A series of unfortunate events (none of them big or catastrophic, but the sum of which has been somewhat overhwelming) has caused almost three and a half years to go by in the blink of an eye. Hence the curtailment of most things recreational, including, unfortunately, both hiking and blogging. It was a beau...

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.". The Road to Damascus. No, not the biblical Damascus where Saul became Paul. I'm talking about Damascus,. Which is where Tim and I left a car this evening, and where we will eventually end up after hiking north for a week on the Appalachian Trail. So guess who got to come along? Also on the shelf here is a "hiker box," which is a common thing to find at a hiker h...

'NETTE EFFECT: Red Rock Canyon

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.". Last time we went to Las Vegas (has it already been two years? We started out attempting the White Rock/La Madre Spring trail, a four-hour loop. It looked like this:. The Calicos are much more suited to thrill-seekers, and we saw quite a few climbers ascending some of the sheer rockfaces nearby. It didn't look quite as benign as Planet Rock. I can assure you.
