As the stress and worries of my regular worker life slowly fade away, I am starting to look forward to my first adventures. Just to give you some idea of what I'll be doing and where I'll be going, here's a little list of places I will go to and events I'll be attending.
June-July
Flying to Paris on the 21, and running my first race in the middle of the City of Lights. I might head to Istanbul after, to visit the legendary, bustling city.
August
Headed over to Montana to meet Hurricane Leslie and discover the mountain trails of one of the few states I haven't yet visited. I might help out with the movie, too.
September

21: Javelina Jangover Night Trail Race, Arizona
October
5: Hunter - Gatherer Survival Run, Texas
12: Canyon de Chelly 55K with the Navajo of Arizona
26: Javelina Jundred 100-mile, Arizona
November

In between all that, I'm planning visits to Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, California and several other places to meet some of my running family and to run with some great, inspiring people. I will be writing stories all along, so hopefully you get to share the adventures, elation and challenges of a wanderer's life :)
Roam free.
Run free.
Congrats on your new life and enjoy it brother!
ReplyDeleteIs it in your plan to go to Versailles and run in the gigantic garden behind the castle ? A lot of space, cleaner air and a lot to discover. Also, it is so big that despite the number of people, there is a relative quietness and privacy in most part of it.
Have fun and enjoy your new freedom,
