Your experience in Jemez made me realize I too have to go out and do more trails, so thanks for a great blog.<br /><br />Here is a link to the race:<br />http://www.marathon.is/course-laugavegur/the-courseÖrvarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691317550965134646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-63820886961800538392011-05-25T18:38:24.480-06:002011-05-25T18:38:24.480-06:00There is no substitute for passion and you have it...There is no substitute for passion and you have it my friend.

It's only natural that some enjoyment does go out the window when striving to achieve a certain goal but you are self aware of this and taking action to address it.<br /><br />You inspire novice runners like myself to get out the door, set the bar high and go for it. <br /><br />You have not only made a positive difference to your own life but also others in both the physical and cyber world. Now go and enjoy a beer or two because you deserve it :-)Richard Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714527298987145965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-84325713341902817422011-05-25T13:07:58.045-06:002011-05-25T13:07:58.045-06:00Awesome insights and an equally awesome writeup.Awesome insights and an equally awesome writeup.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654448234395611422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-82063928626714594312011-05-25T11:26:18.852-06:002011-05-25T11:26:18.852-06:00Good luck at Leadville Wyatt!

I by no means can even call myself a "competitive" trail runner, but it doesn't change the fact that I love the sport and time spent on the trails gives me greater joy than my participation in any other sporting endeavors has. Just remember that a bad day on the trails is better than a good day in the office! I think that embracing the fact that we can and do do remarkable things in even more remarkable places is the single most important thing for us to remember. I believe that's the bond we as trail runners have and why it is such a supportive and welcoming community of people. Be well and I hope Leadville goes well...but if it doesn't, just remember that there are countless people (yours truly included), who would love to be able to do the things you do out there and be thankful for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-78802567926227046132011-05-25T11:19:02.229-06:002011-05-25T11:19:02.229-06:00If it was easy, everyone would do this crap instea...If it was easy, everyone would do this crap instead of just some miniscule percentage of the population that has lost their minds.
