A.H.





Throughout history mankind has used significant events to mark the beginning or end of an age. Two particular periods we are most familiar with, as usually referenced in the modern secular western world, are B.C.E. (before the common era) or C.E. (Common era). These mark the significant achievements of humanity that propelled us from one consciousness to the next. For the modern technological age the Industrial revolution is often referenced as the progenitor of modern times.



Individuals do the same thing when they experience significant milestones in their lives. Finishing college or an advanced degree, starting a family, a new career etc.
For me the most significant physical event in my life has been the half marathon. This event has certainly sparked a solid commitment to maintaining a healthy and active live style. It would surely be a waste for me to just go back to being a couch potato! Plus the thing I enjoy most is running for a cause and that has made this new period of A.H. (After the Half) all the more special and significant.



Here are some pictures of that exhausting event. I finished the race in about two hours and thirty eight minutes even though the race clock read three hours fifteen minutes. That clock represents when the race started and my coral (the 20th one) didn't start until about thirty minutes after the official race started.







At any rate, thanks for all the contributions for CRSF and I hope you know I ran for every single penny of it!












May you be well, happy and peaceful!
