Your friends don’t understand what you see in running. They just see how running drags you home early from the best parties, and how it kicks you to curb the next morning before the crack dawn. They just see the missed lunches, curious stares and constant mind games. And if they don’t see the other stuff by now, odds are they never will.

I'm currently, can you guess?
Well, I'm sitting here, like I usually am, and I'm looking at the date.
April 1st 2013.
In less the 4 weeks...
In 26 days...
In 624 hours...
In 53,913,600... 53,913,659... 53,913,658 and on seconds...
till I'm at the starting line.
The starting line of my first 50 mile race,
my first official Ultramarathon.
I don't know if I'm nervous.
I don't know if I'm scarred.
I don't know if I'm excited.
I do know that I'm prepared.
I'm ready.
Both mentally and physically.
I don't know if it's because of all the Trail Running podcast I've been listening to but I'm feeling pretty confident.
I can honestly say, my training, my teammates, and my coaches have made this experience incredible.
And I'm looking forward to continuing this experience, continuing to run, and continuing to race- ultras!
You were in a relationship with running. A love/hate relationship. Running kicks you out of a warm and cosy bed into a cold hard world. Running calls you at all hours of the night. Running gets you up at the crack of dawn and keeps you at practice long after play has left the building. Every day with running is a question of your commitment. And running’s not afraid to ask. Yes my friend it is a complex and torrid affair. It is a constant balance, a balance between joy and pain, work and play, a balance between love and hate.
