that is life
1/2 day today and then we're heading north to wausau. i'm not looking forward to it but that is life. i know that dying is part of the deal - i'm just not too keen on traditional funeral practices.
i heard a piece on wpr the other day about green burials that caught my interest. it turns out that there are more and more green cemeteries popping up where there isn't much preparation of the body done and no concrete tomb or vault. it is essentially a nature preserve that happens to be a cemetery. i've always been in the cremation boat but i kind of like the thought of that. there were accounts of family members and friends hand digging the grave together for a loved one - and while that would be absolutely heartbreaking i would derive comfort from being a very intimate part of the process.
anyway, enough of this morbid stuff - on a friday no less. i've been super tired this week - not sure if it is allergies or being sad or what but i have been useless after cal goes to bed. i took the direct route home after work because it was raining. not sure what i'll be able to do this weekend training wise. i think i'm going to try and get short run in before we leave just for stress relief. maybe a family bike ride on sunday?
happy friday.
