The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Sneaking in miles...
Since my latest injury, and slow but productive recovery, I feel as though I have only been able to sneak in my weekly miles. I look forward to another attempt to run 100 miles in less than 10 days from now! I am a little bit nervous about the condition my body will be in. I know that my base miles are built up enough to run a 50 miler with this rest and recovery period I have been on, but to double that is almost nerve racking! I know in my head and in my heart that I will push my body to its limits and give another solid attempt at the 100 mile mark, but I pray the sun, stars, wind, and moon align to help me complete this challenge (& any other signs of good luck and well-being) :). With all apprehensions aside, as I pack and prepare over the this next week I am anxious and excited to relentlessly run for hours on end in the California sunshine with my head, heart, legs, and support crew! I will give you updates as the day draws nearer and the link with live updates throughout the race.
