Nearing the end

90 hours until the start of the Leadville 100. What is this running thing all about? It is a never-ending journey of continual self improvement. It is about waiting at the finish line to cheer on every runner that comes through and supporting the dreams of all those who hope to toe the line one day. It is about working with people to organize long training runs and have a BBQ afterwards. It is about struggle and times of self-doubt where defeat stares you in the face daring you to stop. It is about digging deep to overcome the seemingly most impossible obstacle and coming out on the other side with your head held high. It is about running through snow and rain and lightening because it takes a lot more than weather to slow you down. It is about enduring the lows and relishing the highs, not stopping because of either. It is a dynamic continuum of bliss and hell and will make you feel more alive than you have ever imagined.
