To me, you embody the essence of ultra and trail running...you're not afraid to push yourself to try new challenges, but always keep the fun quotient high! It was great to get to hang out with you last weekend.Anne Riddle Lundbladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188648567508544360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-80956626496948621152011-03-10T11:11:11.791-05:002011-03-10T11:11:11.791-05:00Enjoyed the post.

Didn't work and now love meat even more!<br />Love that photo of you sleeping at 2005 MMT as I got to share some of the trail with you and Mike.

Well taken points. Running ultras on trails has taught me so much. If I don't enjoy at least 90% of a run, then I don't do it again.

I struggle with balance to the point where I have the word engraved on a ring that I wear to constantly remind myself to remain vigilant. I'll have to reread your post later on as I meditate on all the pearls of wisdom you and your husband have laid out here.
