I’m going to give up on this goal eventually, about the time I give up on marathons.
Still, I wanted to share with my 43T peeps this photograph, which includes all 43T friends, including the Bear.

I’m going to give up on this goal eventually, about the time I give up on marathons.
Still, I wanted to share with my 43T peeps this photograph, which includes all 43T friends, including the Bear.
And not a mile to spare. Finished a Resolution Run 5K in Denver at about 6:30 pm Dec 31, with 1000.1 miles on my log.
After much pondering and back-and-forthing, I’ve decided to try this again for the fourth year. I am depressed at my inability to find an agent for 2006’s Infectious Beauty, not to mention how I get stuck every time I try to rewrite 2007’s Strangely Carved Forms, but hey, nothing succeeds like frustration. Or something.
I’ve made plans to attend the big WriteAThon on Nov 15, and if any other 43Ters are going, please send me a note.
