It was nice to slow down and spend time with my family. After a few weeks I started to feel the tug to get back out there. This pull creates a tug-of-war with the rest of my life but it also brings balance that I need. We keep moving on.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Hard Rock lottery results. This one is a bit ambitious for me but so was Leadville. You don't know you can't until you don't. I'll find out next weekend if I'm in.
I signed up for the Zane Gray 50 miler in Arizona. I'm looking forward to this run. It is supposed to be a challenge and the course sounds awesome. Two weeks after that I'll be running the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim. This is a 54 mile route. It's crazy to me that I'm doing this. Just 3 years back I read about these runs and the idea of me doing it was as foreign to me as flying to the moon. I can't wait.
If I don't get into Hardrock I will set the San Juan Solstice 50 as my goal race. I might throw Leadville on the calendar. I swore once was enough but as time goes on it doesn't seem that bad. Ha!
Sherpa John runs a Fat Ass run series through the winter months. I've hooked up with this group and plan on hitting most of their runs. He has 1 run each month that pushes over 20 miles. It should keep me in shape and it is good to run with some other crazy people.
My posts will remain sporadic through the next few months. Sorry to let all my readers down;)
