When we last left the story I promised you a picture and the link between Mira, my running and eating kale.

What Mira has to do with my desire to run and in particular run to raise funds for Team APEN is that as often as I can I've tried to show her some of the beauty of the planet. The magic of seeing tiny fishes weave in and out of coral. Humming birds drink juice out of honeysuckle vine in our yard. The riot of flowers that signifies spring. Honestly, while we are taking in this magic I think to myself, I need to show her this before the damage is done and it's gone as a result of climate change.

That's not cool. Mira and all of us deserve to continue to experience the magic and beauty of the earth. I believe together we can blaze a path towards a healthy planet and sane society for future generations. The place I work, APEN is doing amazing work towards that vision. And that is why I'm running for the first time since JT brought sexy back!
