Cutting Through


Legs and mind have been tired, but the grind has remained the same. In the last month I have added on spinning when I get home from work. Progressed the time 15 minutes each week. Up to hour and fifteen. Constant moment is what I’m thinking is gunna be my key. I am so interested to see what I am capable of and if I’m capable what this does to my mind. Toeing the line takes a lot in itself. Once you’re out there everyone is just like you. 


I can remember the first day of junior college basketball practice. This guy AP hits me with this screaming pass that hits my chest. At that moment all my training and grind clicked.  It was game on and I knew that I had to unleash myself. I grew a lot in that single moment, but maybe it was more of my training and desire finally being revealed. 


Pour the gasoline on that internal fire and see what you’re capable of.

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.
