reflection or rejection.

'let it snow' the vancouver sky screamed out...and so it did...12 miles through fresh snow makes for one tough run, but fun none the less...it was nice last night to just run, kind of explore and not worry about the pace at all because it was pointless...the lack of traction made things slow, but i liked it...yesterday i only worked a half day so i got some time to relax, which was nice because sometimes i feel that i am getting a little run down...'run through it' is what i am constantly hearing in my head...those wise words come from a fellow by the name of bruce denton...and although he is not actually a real person, he is one of the most wise fake people i know!! i didn't end of doing a work out on tuesday because i sort of got lost in a new area and i slipped on the ice and my left thigh took a beating...so i just called it a day...i can make up the few miles i lost at a later date...so things are winding down here before christmas and i am excited to head back to ontario and see some people...i am looking forward to seeing some really old friends and see how their lives have evolved since we last spoke...and i think it will be cool to get in a few runs in lindsay where my running career actually started...oh those were the days, a young teenager, invincible to the world, and possessing all the speed i could handle...things have changed but i still love to run and it will be cool to hit some spots that i used to hit when i was a kid...anyways, i am sorry to disappoint with my lack of entries, the motivation to reflect has been captured by the snowflakes...i will return in all my glory soon.

i did realize though, 'reflection on the negative isn't negative in itself. reflection is the positive that rises out of the negative. reflection makes the negative meaningful. reflection is the key component of the negative. because without the reflection, the negative is just wrong.'
