It is one week until the race. TheRocky Raccoon 100, located in Huntsville, Texas. I sit here debating on if I should run anything more this weekend than my active job's requirement, usually less than 4 miles, in 150 yard light sprints, aka valet. The last long run I did was on January 1st...

It all started with an orange, drooling cat.
I happened to be meditating one day following a grueling run. Back to that soon. I was training for my first marathon, if you could call that training. Basically, I started running in late September, 2009, while in Miami on a contract job at a free...
