You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.

August 2018 update:  BIRTHDAY month, good to be Colorado HOME.

Recommitted myself to process, completed my first 200+ mile month since Spring.  In like a LION, out like a LAMB.  Unexpected health change kinda sucked the wind outta my sails.

CAN – WILL – DO

Determined to maintain a strong fighting spirit all Fall season – my last busy run season.  Many new places, lotta friend/family faces.  Paring down the race schedule next 2 years.

Marathoning remains a passion – gotta CONTINUE the STREAK (almost FIVE years now) – but adventuring & my Faith is directing down another path.  Unknown.  Hoping that means lotta tall PEAKS & crazy heavy SNOW.  My faith is STRONG.

Race ReCap:  2 marathons (Mt Sneffels COLORADO, Area 51 NEVADA).  21 FINISHES (including 2 new CONTINENTS) with four months of 2018 left to GO!

Marathoning Streak:  57 months

Mileage ReCap:  ended August at 460 miles (89 miles behind GOAL)
