I'm In!
Friday, March 30, 2012
Just got word that a spot has opened up for the Muddy Sneaker 20k in a couple of weeks - looks like I'll be slogging up and down the hills at Hi Tor again this year! Definitely welcome news, as much as I would have enjoyed doing the Hook Mountain Half Marathon if I hadn't made it off the Muddy Sneaker wait list...

SAD NEWS (A YEAR LATE)
Erle Montaigue 1949-2011
Saturday, March 24, 2012
I've stayed mostly out of the martial arts loop since I resigned from my former school back in late 2009, or I might have found this out sooner. This afternoon I decided to check up on the latest news for Erle Montaigue and the World Taiji Boxing Association and discovered that he died from a heart attack back in late January 2011.

I never had the opportunity to meet or study with Erle, everything I knew about him was from his books and the reams of information on his website. He was a controversial figure in the neijia (Chinese internal) arts, but no one can dispute that he had an incredible impact through his teaching, whether in person or through books and videos/DVDs. While it was obvious he needed to make a living from his efforts, he also shared a wealth of information free of charge. It always seemed clear that he was a teacher and martial artist first and a businessman second.

My thoughts go out to the Montaigue family as they continue to deal with their loss. Erle enriched the martial arts world with his presence and his willingness to learn and share, and we are all diminished with his passing.

LAZY DAY
Saturday, March 24, 2012
I had been planning to go run the Rockin' the Ledges 12mi trail run near Carbondale, PA, today... but the combination of the 6.5 hour round trip and a forecast of rain showers made me reconsider. Though in the end maybe I should have gone - spent the day hanging around at home instead of getting outside. One of those days where I just didn't feel much motivation to get my backside in gear for anything.
