Oh, hello there. 5+ months since my last update. The winter doldrums have, thankfully, come and gone. WORST. WINTER. EVER. Just a "blah" feeling I couldn't shake, no matter how hard I tried.
Currently I'm watching "Breakfast at Wimbledon" and trying to figure out what I want to do today. Run this morning in humid but not hot temps? Hang around the pool with Calli? Hit the gym and work in some stairs and bike work? Why not all three?
What's happened since my last post?
1) Purdue's basketball team finished up a mediocre B10 season and played Kansas - eventually national runner-up - quite well in the NCAA tourney. It's sad to think I won't see Rob Hummel in a Purdue jersey anymore, but with any luck we'll be watching him in the NBA thanks to the T'Wolves. Excited to see the new crop of players come in and want to stomp IU to shut their mouthy fans up.
2) Ran Winona Lake again in April. 50 miles worth of trails, 30 of which were covered in a steady rain. Dropped last year's time, and a morning start certainly helped, as I didn't have to finish in the dark with a lamp on my head.
3) Completed first trail marathon last month down in Tell City. 8,800' worth of elevation gain, which is simply ridiculous and challenging. Ducked in under the 5hr mark with a few minutes to spare. A great road trip all-around, as my friend Shanna accompanied me down there. Fun times.
Work is good, running is good, life is good. Looking forward to continuing a great summer of hard running and seeing where it leads me.
"Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of
ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own; sources of strength
never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."
