- 10 miles out of the Flatirons Vista lot. What a great set of trails. 83 minutes. Haiku on the run for the day
Cluttered mindlessness
The mind escapes to the trail
The heart quakes and awakes - Mock appears to be in sixth place at TransRockies. Ricks in 7th. (mens open) Chase is in second in the master's division (all this is actually to say each of those teams are in those places). Smith and Helms Crosby lead open women.

Funny the video of AJW is surrounded by discussion of people (you) maybe attempting the 100. Nice marketing piece, the video.
ReplyDeleteI used to belong to an underground drinking club in college. In short, we would puke a lot, carry-on, puke, and so forth.
Really healthy.
Matt - the theme of my life pursuing things, apparently healthy and not healthy - but with a common thread of this sufferring is fun - was not lost on me.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. It's funny, that's all.
ReplyDeletewish I coulda joined you for the FI vista run. Your Haiku has one too many syllables and needs to have an "ah ha" twist (too many, almost all really, runner's haikus are incorrect).

Sorry, graduate courses with Diane Wakoski and years of literary theory have left me jaded and fickle.
Syllables, bite me
ReplyDeletewish you were there too but no
no dog warning issued
I officially call this a Zacku.
Seriously ... thought of you while out there. Epic views today. And not cold or dark. Soon we will cross.
ReplyDeleteAnd my feet are never light.
Is the twist necessary? Alot of the Basho I read does not seem to twist.
Remember ... I have nine toes so I can't count.
sooooo cute!!! more puppies, less running.
ReplyDeletejust kidding.
enjoy the end of summer!

I thought traditional Japanese haiku also had a reference to a season?
ReplyDeleteInteresting point ... never have directly studied but many do ... but many do not.
ReplyDeleteGoogle my favorite - Basho. You will find most have reference to the season, but some do not. Of course, that might be a nuance of the english interpretation?
And my ribbing of footfeathers aside ... as he is much better (pun) versed in this than me ... I really ought not speak on literary topics ... not my forte.
Other great writers, like Ezra Pound have veered from the true haiku form, so I guess it's ok.
ReplyDeleteThe apparition of these faces in the crowd; petals on a wet, black bough
recounting his image of the mass of people getting off the Metro in Paris. Brilliant.
Things would and do get boring when too many rules are followed but you have to have an understanding of the foundation in order to improvise effectively. Like running and training.
That is excellent ...
ReplyDeleteWell said footfeathers.
