26.2

​

I have thought about getting into running for sometime, but the thought was always 26.2 is not long enough. It’s not that there wouldn’t be suffering in those miles, it just wasn’t the soul questioning suffering I was looking for. Enter 2017 where the seed was planted that people were running 200 miles around Lake Tahoe.  As we would make trips to Tahoe, I would look around the lake and think, what if I could do the Tahoe 200. The feeling of accomplishing something so mind boggling in my own backyard gave me the fuel. I want the feeling I get whenever we I drive  near any of the places I rode my bike xc or down the Pacific Coast. The thought has remained in me like some sick twisted mantra, what if I could become someone who could complete the Tahoe 200?!

 The days are drawing near and soon I will write out the training plan I have been creating in my head since 2017. February is the kickoff month. Let’s see. Let’s see.

Metaphorically Prepared to Die

​Metaphorically I am ready to die. Such a weird thought has come up a lot recently. I have played with it and think I understand it. Let me explain, if the danger is too high I will the dnf cable asap. If I finish this journey great. If I get hurt and have to throw in the towel so be it. All of these outcomes result in my death. I will never be the same and this is exactly what I was looking for.

Crossing the Thershold

I am not an ultra runner at the time of this post. Can’t be the same person if I am going to become a Tahoe 200 finisher. My body feels strong, with some aches, but that is a given. The most important thing is to get my mind to become one of an ultra runner. With time and constant chipping away an ultra runner will be revealed. The process has begun.

4x4x48

​ Wanted to see what my training has done and all was well leading up to Saturday night when lung pain kicked in. Sunday I was unable to run without coughing and wheezing so I throttled it back to 20+ min miles. I somehow managed to run the final leg at a 10 min pace. All the while I could feel that it was pneumonia in my lungs, which was confirmed yesterday by my doctor. Recover and moved forward.
