“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.” T.S Eliot

3091 miles from Boxford, MA to Auburn, CA completed in 6 days with no major snow storms encountered. We returned to California last Tuesday the 6th. Wednesday and Thursday, we shopped for  apartments  and moved into an apartment on Friday evening.  We are living in Roseville on Alexandra Drive off Secret Ravine.  The last few days we have been ferrying supplies from our storage bin to our base camp.   We are still not settled but we are settled enough to do the things that we have been craving for the last few months such as yoga and exercise and  with the added benefit of not having to pack our belongings up and move to another location in a matter of days.  We made a nice meal yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Eating out constantly can be a drag.   I rode my bike yesterday, not many miles but it felt great except for the climb up Sierra College to get back to the apartment.  I started my running program today.  It felt ok but I’m not ready for Boston.  I will be so keep those donations coming.  So life is getting back to normal.   We are complicating the simple life but refuse to dive head first into the rat race. We will be settled by the end of the month.  I’m looking forward to training for Boston.  I’m off to a late start but I have a plan which includes dropping alot of weight (” Hunger is my friend”) , riding many miles on my bike and steady runs building up the distance and getting back on track on the Jeff Galloway training program.  I am behind.  I was suppose to run 15 today.  Instead I ran 5.

Our phone number stays the same.  We’re working on getting a real service instaed of VirginMobile.  Email us for our new address.  We’ll be trying to get to our all to update you all with our new address and information.

Since we have a new address and direction (job seekerSusan, marathon runner Wayne) and are traveling days are over then this blog will be turning into a training blog.   Beware if you want to read about miles run, cycled and weight lost, new pains, old pains and stress injuries in body parts that I didn’t know I had, than check in.  If you want to read my witty observations about adventures in South America,  those days are over for now.
