Arizona has been so supportive. I feel blessed. Yesterday’s 34 mile run was not bad. I did spit up a tiny bit of blood though. It isn’t anything to be alarmed about though. There is a dryness in this region that I’ve known about since childhood. I used to sleep with a humidifier to keep my nose from bleeding. When I moved away from this area the nose bleeds stopped.

I guess local kids must try to get into their facilities once in a while. We were happy to be in the tranquil setting. Even with the quiet surroundings, for some reason I was unable to sleep last night. Perhaps the thirty-eight mile run had switched on my endorphins.
