On my run today, I finished ten miles which was excellent. I am very sad to hear the MDI Marathon has officially been canceled. However, I hope people can still head up to MDI and run along the course in peak foliage. My favorite weekend of my life was running the MDI marathon in peak foliage the weekend of a super moon. I Love Maine.

Tonight, I played around with clipart which was fun or silly. I am thinking about sketching and framing this design that I have made just for my room decoration. I think that all these symbols represent things about my career, marathon+violin+phd. The reason that I love olive branches, is because my Tiffany marathon band that I have had for about ten years and wear everyday is an olive leaf design, because marathon runner’s wear olive leaf crowns for a profound purpose. Peace and tranquility and inner-peace are the concepts that my olive leaf marathon ring make me feel. Being a marathon runner helped me to find inner-peace in life and move forward into a new life. Though I am not an artist, I love to play around with being crafty, this design is fun for me to play around with.
