#wasatch100training
For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary - or perhaps more like mediocre - level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be. ~Haruki Murakami

With all the trail photos from yesterday blowing up my feed, I felt it necessary to head to the mountain today : Mount Baker that is! Don’t worry, I took it easy … just an easy 8 miles. Wasatch 100 is now 13 days 5 hours away! ⚡️ #mountbaker #wasatch100training #runstreak #day241 (at Mount Baker)

If I can do hard things … YOU can do hard things too! I don’t possess crazy talent of speed and winning finisher times. But, what I do possess is determination, grit, and a positive attitude. ⚡️ And, YES – sometimes I have bargain with myself. Make deals. Lie to myself that my legs don’t hurt. That NO QUIT fire … you have to stoke it. Keep it going. One step at a time. #noexecuses #sq50 #wasatch100training #mondaymotivation (at Squamish, British Columbia)
