Wintumn

Alright, I admit it! I've been suffering a bit from PPJTD. You suspected as much, right? What do you mean you've never heard of PPJTD? You know-Post Pearl Jam Tour Depression. Well I won't call it a full blown depression, but it qualifies as a legitimate bummer. Now they're off gallivanting around Australia and New Zealand while I'm stuck in the gray Seattle drizzle. Ahhh...to be independently wealthy.

Well, my leg is mending nicely, and my mileage is steadily climbing back up. As soggy and dark as Seattle becomes this time of year, it's a wonder anyone runs at all. Yet for some strange reason, I love running in this weather. It makes you feel like you're really accomplishing something, something more than JUST a run. There's an element of being hardcore, and maybe a little crazy, when you're out logging miles in the wind and driving, sideways rain. I love it. Yes, spoken like a true Northwest kid, I know.

It's not quite winter nor fall. I'll call it wintumn

I'm giving away $10,000. If you help me, I’ll help you. I made a video for a contest where I am competing to win $100,000. To win the $100,000 I need to have more comments and ratings on my video than anyone else from now until December 20th. I was hoping I could use your help as a blogger. All you need to do is make one post about the video. Keep up the running! best wishes!

I tried to make it pretty funny too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwsKBgWm2aQ
