I'm still here

I have run quite a bit on the treadmill this week. I have been messing with running hard for a quarter mile then backing down but putting the incline at a 5 or 6 for a quarter mile and then repeating. It sucks. Yesterday I thought that my heart was going to spew out of my mouth. I am going to run trails tomorrow with my son. It is Thanksgiving and I am thankful to be healthy.

I've been listening to a band called Horse Feathers. I love them.

My favorite albums of 2011 you ask?
The Tallest Man on Earth - - -The Wild Hunt
Bon Iver - - - -Bon Iver

I have devoured both of those albums this year and think that my life would be different if I didn't have each of those in my life. 

I have been running to the new Coldplay album. It is becoming one of my favorites. 

I feel pretty fit. I feel old. I feel like my life is more than half over. I feel close to God. I feel like my wife and kids will never understand just HOW MUCH I love them. I am thankful for breath and water and the bible and grace and Mizuno running shoes.
