Spent much time with the herd this weekend, Saturday running 10 miles of the Clinton Lake trail and Sunday hiking Forest Glen Nature Preserve near Danville. Will run/walk a 30-mile trail race on the Clinton Lake trail in less than two weeks. Ugh. That 's the toughest trail in the area.
Ready to get out on the bike. Swimming has been pathetic. I'm hoping it will all come together at a triathlon May 20 in Effingham, my first of the season.
Aficionado of the American buffalo and proud member of the Buffalo Warriors, a herd of beer-swilling trail runners and some of the finest humans and criminals on the planet.
"If you were looking for the definitive symbol of the conflict between the cultures that had existed in the American West for at least ten thousand years, and maybe longer, and the culture that was just a building East of the Mississippi River, this culture of technology, of commerce, of grasping after tomorrow before it arrives, you couldn't come up with two more powerful symbols than the Railroad, and the Buffalo, because when the Railroad met the Buffalo, the Iron Age met the Stone Age, the machine arrived in the garden, and the West was changed for ever." - T.H. Watkins
