Day 284/365

Finally got my 4 Seasons Challenge medals displayed like they should be! Absolutely love they way they look!

Day 283/365

Just a mere 10 days stand between me & day 1,000!

Day 282/365

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to run in the rain.”

Day 281/365

There’s always lessons to be learned from races, even if you think you know it all. Some good ones from yesterday:

1. Pickle juice is surprisingly damn good!
2. Caffeine laced gels & chews are great, until you try to go to sleep after running 31 miles.
3. Have to remember to bathe in Vaseline before another Ultra. Things that have absolutely nothing to do with running shouldn’t chafe like that!

Day 280/365

Wait, there’s silver & gold ones?! Hmmm, guess I’m not done with this race quite yet!

Day 279/365

Hopefully finding this on my short mile this morning is a good sign for tomorrow. Even though I’ve gone the 50K distance before, it’s still intimidating.

Day 278/365

“I believe the key to happiness is, someone to love, something to do & something to look forward to.”-Elvis Presley

Day 277/365

Nice to see the 1st Wooly this season on my run today. Yet another reason, autumn is the favorite season! Love these little dudes!

Day 276/365

Been a little bit of a journey trying to get one of these in any race. It was also a journey trying to pick this up. Work got busy & I couldn’t get to the store to get it. Then I accidentally was given the wrong one & had to go back for the right one. Finally though, it’s official. So cool!

Day 275/365

162 miles for the month of September puts me in the 4 digit range for the year. The running pot is running out of room...

Day 274/365

I will always think October skies are the best.
