"Life Long Learning"

I think one thing that I've improved on as the years progress is my ability to learn. It is most gratifying to learn from those that you yourself have taught. Today was one of those days as it was one filled with interaction with people who I have worked with for as long as twenty years and as little as 6 months. The gratification is 2 fold in that I'm glad they perhaps learned some things from me, but also because it indicates my own greater openess to learning. All in all, just a gratifying day.

I was fairly well rested this morning primarily because I slept reasonably well for a hotel night. I am most grateful to my friends at Autotek for arranging for a humidifier for my room....thanks Andrew!

I have decided not to run tonite as I am a little nervous after dark in a town I have not run in before. Instead, tomorrow morning Andrew will drive me to a safe place and leave me with a vehicle and water bottles and I will give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes....remember the elevation factor.

I know I've been on this theme for a few days but who can blame me, as I wish to dedicate day 125 to thoracic surgeon Dr Carroll, who 22 years ago saved our Michaels life! Somehow I wish to tell him that he did a good job!!

“It is not what we read, but what we remember that makes us learned. It is not what we intend but what we do that makes us useful. And, it is not a few faint wishes but a lifelong struggle that makes us valiant."---Henry Ward Beecher
