Caption: ARNHEM AND THE RHINE RIVER

Booklet Description: 18 ARNHEM lies among the wooded hills of Holland on the banks of the Rhine River. It is said that a Dutchman is proud of his dikes, polders, and fine harbors, but if he wants to show off his country to a visitor he takes him to this area, called the Dutch Alps. Arnhem was the site of a major Allied paratroop landing in 1944. The boggy terrain prevented the arrival of the relieving army and thousands lost their lives in battle.

landing in Germany felt like completion even though it’s only the beginning of my Christmas circuit. I remember being in the ICU now two years ago and repeating endlessly to any nurse close by— “I was meant to be in Germany”, before I lost consciousness.

the phrase “everything happens for a reason” was so triggering during that season, the depth of loss I felt overwhelmed my being and I couldn’t fathom a reality where my suffering and lack of ability to yield my will to live could be part of divine order.

but yesterday I ran along the Rhine. R-A-N. I felt my feet fly and I sobbed, the kind of crying that makes your body ripple outward without constraint and your lungs feel as if they’ve been submerged.

in what feels like the blink of an eye I’ve left a wheelchair, ran my first race in years, gone scuba diving, learned aerial hoop, taken up ballet, learned the wheel for ceramics, lost the tremor in my hands (I knit now!!!), etc. etc.

the other day I had a thought about my before body, I kept thinking “I was better before, stronger before, fitter before…” and all sorts of comparisons. then it dawned on me, ever so slowly… this body I have now fought to be here. it sustained me when I couldn’t be inspired to keep moving forward and I am so grateful for what it does every single day.

next up, a second go at marathon training…but this time more gentle. I have a run group, a base of community and I feel stronger than I have in eons. I’m looking at doing the Vermont Marathon 2024 but tbd on details, I also have the hope of the 9+1 for NYRR since I lost my bid for the 2022 after the crash.

It feels so difficult to see into 2025 (I don’t know if I’ll even be in NYC), but I figure the effort is what counts so I’m going to try. if anything it’s always an excuse to fly back.

Excerpt from this story from Earther/Gizmodo:

Less than a foot of water currently stands between European business as usual and a German supply chain crisis. Amid a record-breaking, continent-wide heat wave, the Rhine river has dropped to levels so low, that shipping on the waterway may soon become economically untenable or even impossible.

The current water level measured at Kaub, a chokepoint for heavy freight ships about midway along the river, is hovering around 70 cm (about 27.5 inches). If it drops to 40 cm or below (about 15.7 inches), barges will no longer be able to carry enough weight to justify their journeys, said German Federal Institute for Hydrology representative, Joerg Belz, to Bloomberg News on Monday.

Ships laden with commodities are heavier, and sink lower in the water than lighter ships. Navigating the river with a lighter load allows a vessel to travel at lower river levels. But there is a line of economic unfeasibility, where it no longer makes financial sense for a ship to voyage with such little weight, and where the value of the cargo becomes less than the cost of a boat’s fuel and crew needs.

The Rhine runs more than 760 miles from the Alps to the North Sea, winding through Germany but also parts of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, France, and the Netherlands. Along the way, it cuts through major cities like Basel, Rotterdam, Dusseldorf, Cologne, and Bonn. The river is widely considered the most important inland waterway in Europe. About 80% of goods shipped through Germany’s inland waterways rely on the Rhine, according to a report from CNBC.

This isn’t the lowest recorded gauge level the river has ever been at (that’s 25 cm in 2018), but this is a notably low level for the time of year when the measurements average around 220 cm (~86 inches). Usually, the Rhine reaches it’s annual low in early October. So, things are expected to get drier from here. The last time the river was this shallow at Kaub at this time of year was 2007. In 2018, that drought and record low Rhine level led to a months long economic standstill in Germany, and severely inhibited shipping.
