Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter

​

I get it, this doesn’t make any sense. Sometimes I can feel this disconnect between me and my thoughts, it’s like this drumming sound that beats within me and I don’t know how to turn it off. I am not sure these thoughts are even my own and wonder if they are some sort of beacon home.  Every time I have engaged them I feel at home with my life. It’s like if I don’t acknowledge these ideas they begin to haunt me.  I am not sure what this means but I think there is something to be learned here.  Maybe it’s just me “shaking my fist” at life in a moment of glory, as my mom said in her valedictorian speech.  I can see the Journey of the Tahoe 200 and look forward to the miles between start to finish because that’s where the true sense of being lies.

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.
