Comments on: The Three “R’s” http://www.runningland.com/2005/07/12/41/ wisdom and tripe from a lifetime runner Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:23:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: songs of experience » What will you do in Canada West? http://www.runningland.com/2005/07/12/41/comment-page-1/#comment-992 songs of experience » What will you do in Canada West? Tue, 03 Jan 2006 18:41:28 +0000 http://www.runningland.com/2005/07/12/41/#comment-992 [...] I have too too many thoughts buzzing in my brain, so I had to set up several draft folders for future blog ideas (nerds, narcissism, The Outsiders and S.E. Hinton, one-legged man at the mailbox, tammie’s summer, running with the lone wolf vs. the buffaloes, etc.). The reason I am full to bursting is that I had zero time for solitary reflection over Christmas break. As I said in an earlier post, my ideal life consists of time for the three R’s - reading, running, and ruminating. Well, when you’re a mom with three kids home from school from December 13th until this very morning, some 21 days later, you must sacrifice the third R. Maybe my brain was percolating on the back burner, like a computer in “sleep” mode, but it wasn’t until today that I was allowed to flip the full-on switch.

Well, maybe in North Korea; but so far I think you're safe over here. If not, I have a good lawyer (happens to be my wife, but I digress). Please consider yourself encouraged to blog more often; yours is in the collection of sites I usually stopover during lunch. If you feel like taking questions, here's one, given that literature seems high on your list of priorities: what are you favorite books? On the topic of running, I think running has inspired some pretty rotten books (I think Once a Runner is one of the worst books I ever got talked into reading), but some pretty good journalism (always liked Kenny Moore). Yrs, Eric “Can I be arrested for that?”
