Our Tribe

​

Nothing else matters. Nothing. Not the Tahoe 200, fitness, work, basketball, friends and especially nothing you can put a price tag on. As I dropped Kyrie off this morning his eyes were full of sadness and tears.  He didn’t want me to leave and I told him I’d kick his but in Mario Kart tonight, which somewhat helped. I got back in the car and told Ashley what happened and said he is not wrong. We as a society have failed our families. I will not miss out on this crucial period of Kyrie or Mia’s life. There is nothing more important than what’s under our roof. I hope you both feel that and know it.

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.
