It's been a difficult year. I've had lots of ambition, or at least faux ambition, but when it's come down to it, i've folded under pressure.
I've set some goals which are slipping from my grasp at this point, and amassed a ridiculous 4 DNFs this year, some valid, some are still rattling around in my head.
Spring cleaning comes a bit late this year, and it's time to sort out the rattling. So i'm going to spend a bit of quality time outside phoenix this weekend recounting the things that were done right this year, and the areas for improvement.
If you're interested in joining me on this adventure, the Aravaipa running group was kind enough to make it possibe, at least in spirit and via the internet:

if you've got something better to do than sit around and watch a computer screen for 25+ hours, enjoy your day, and feel free to check in periodically:)
i wish each of you the best this weekend - enjoy whatever you set out to do and make sure to pursue it whole heartedly.
I've been asked what is different about this run then the dnfs (DNF = simpley means i chose the easier path, i dropped from the race) from earlier this year? i don't have anything tangible here, except maybe this is an easier course.
fortunately there are the intangibles. here's to the desire to complete what you start.
or perhaps in Karl Meltzer's words "100 miles is not that far"
