NFEndurance

       First, I want to thank all the people who have donated in my past runs. I could not have done it without your help and support. As many of you may or may not know, I have NF Type I and am very fortunate with my health and run to raise awareness and support for this disorder. Neurofibromatosis encompasses a set of distinct genetic disorders that causes tumors to grow along various types of nerves. NF can also affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones and skin. Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow anywhere on or in the body.  Please visit the Children’s Tumor Foundation for more information.

       I will be running my 11th marathon on May 6th, 2011 for the Children's Tumor Foundation at the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. I am now on my 6th year of running marathons for the Children's Tumor Foundation. I have run a total of 10 Marathons one of which was an ultra 50K and 3 half marathons and each step we take is one step closer to solving the puzzle.

Lost in a Ripple of Time

Autumn winds approach ever closer
As the world turns and the days pass by
While the setting sun dips beneath the horizon
And brings the heavens to rise
I am lost in a ripple of time

Trees swing and sway in harmony
Chanting to the rhythm of forgotten forest
As they lay their leaves gently down
To the crimson woodland floor
I am lost in a ripple of time

The eternal waters of the river
Flows with such vigor and vibrancy
As it dances flawlessly down the valley floor
To the beat of the roaring thunder above
I am lost in a ripple of time

Humble with poise she is the guardian of all
Stretching as far as the eye can see
Undaunted against the tempest clouds
Speaking words of wisdom
I am lost in a ripple of time

Tall and golden to the touch
The mighty blue grass
Bows to the hymn of the prier
Praying for Mother Nature’s tears
I am lost in a ripple of time

The majestic blue and gray empire
An intrepid sea of glory
Weans and wanes with delight
As it carves its unbounded edge
I am lost in a ripple of time

As the spring flowers bloom and blossom
Sparkling light emerges slowly
Across the distant faded horizon line
Revealing a spectacle display of hope
Finding my way I am no longer lost in a ripple of time

Zenith

The road is the path,
Where it leads me
From foot to foot
I will take it.

Many summits and canyons
Will come on my course
Challenging me so many times,
I will run them all.

Never looking back
Eyes looking on the horizon
Keeping my measure
I move onward.

In many ways
The people I meet
I will always keep
In my heart.

A myriad of crossroads to choose
The ones I adopt
Have reasons to be journeyed
To continue the legacy of the road
