IT’S HAPPENING

Maybe you don’t have to push yourself forward. You just have to stop holding yourself back.

hard to hate running when this is your trail

A few weeks ago I posted a staged photo where I said I was looking forward to the day when my shin would let me stride out with full abandon again. Well, that day definitely came yesterday evening when a few crazies came together to see how quickly they could scale a bunch of big rocks and then sprint back down to the trailhead. It’s effort and intensity and camaraderie in its most distilled, unfettered format on some of the best terrain in the world, and I was definitely striding out with full abandon and this photo was definitely not staged.

The struggle

“If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win” - Carl Lewis

It’s a everything-you-got, end-on-empty kind of sport.

If you’re going through a hard running time, please don’t give up. Last year I thought there was no hope for me. I was going to quit. I thought I would never be fast again. I had bad race after bad race after bad race and tears and tears and tears. But it gets better. It may take  months, or a year, or 2 years, but everythings going to work out. 

Someone once told me not to bite off more than I can chew. I said I’d rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity.

I may be smiling but they are very serious and ready to destroy this season
