I also appreciate your support through a tough spring (no need to go into the details; you know what I'm talking about). You're going to kill it at States! As for me, while I still believe deeply in Maffetone's principles, I have come to see the brilliance of Joe Friel. In a period of real crisis for me (as a runner) after Cheyenne, I turned to a lot of experts' work and it was Friel's approaches that I believe propelled me to a much better place physically and mentally. I am a believer. What's happened in the last five weeks is truly remarkable in my own eyes and relative to my own abilities. Suddenly, I'm improving and have gotten out of the constant stagnation I've been in for the past 2-3 years. Whether or not it all pays off at Bighorn is yet to be determined, but I do know it's made me a happier, better runner and person.Wyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-46313484515674032962015-06-03T14:57:09.364-06:002015-06-03T14:57:09.364-06:00Glad we could get out and enjoy some trails togeth...Glad we could get out and enjoy some trails together, Wyatt. I think your new approach will server you well long term no matter how Big Horn goes. I don't have your experience, but I have enough to know that each on has a story and lots can (and will) happen. I am definitely hoping to see you have fun out there.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256410616083520026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-72927073888972434392015-06-03T12:17:23.904-06:002015-06-03T12:17:23.904-06:00Thanks for the tips, have a great race and see you...Thanks for the tips, have a great race and see you in Dayton.Guy Cheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296513081472215675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-20155730852877568862015-06-03T11:08:14.413-06:002015-06-03T11:08:14.413-06:00Hi Guy: No more long runs for me.

At this stage, there is very little one can do to help except rest and sharpen.Wyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-19994316422693466112015-06-03T11:07:00.910-06:002015-06-03T11:07:00.910-06:00Thanks, Mike.
