Just read your report on the ultra list. Sorry to hear that you didn’t finish but it sounds like it made you a more determined runner. The real ultra runners are the ones that keep coming back, haha. At least you discovered what Tom was talking about, “worse” doesn’t always go to “much worse”. At least they had to pull you off that course and you didn’t quit voluntarily.

Thank you so much for your generosity. I look forward to meeting you at MMTR. The runner support has been awesome and I just can’t believe it.

Christian, I also made a small cont. and wished it could have been more for such a great cause. I’ll be toeing the line once again at the MMTR50 this year so good luck and see ya there! Thanks for doing such a great thing for the kids!! By the way, if you’re contemplating the Mountain RATS, Reid puts on a great race. I did the Desert RATS and loved it.

Christian, I just made a very small contribution to Project Kids Eat. I’m sorry that I couldn’t donate more, but it’s been a lean year. However, I wanted to acknowledge your efforts. Good luck on the 3rd. Lynn Lamousin

Dear Christian,

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it on November 3rd will be your gift to him.

And remember this, your only journey is the one within.

Warmest Regards,
Anna

Wow fantastic! I’m doing my first half marathon this weekend, and I can absolutely not wait to build up to doing ultras. November 3rd… not far! I’ll be cheering and being jealous of you!

Well, Masochistic Marathon Man –
I always knew everyone in your family was wacked…so I guess you “get it honest”. I’m proud of your mind…and hope your thighs and knees can match up. If you make ten miles…you’ve crossed a further finish line than I’ve ever attempted…so, to me, the concept has already has succeeded.
So here’s a birthday gift for you to redirect to your kiddies. I hope the inspiration of it all will lift you from the forces of gravity and bring your journey home.
Love, peace, and justice — Auntie Susie

Ben:

Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment and pray away… I certainly can use all the positive energy I can get. I keep reading about this race …previous race reports, warnings and cautions …and it’s all a bit much sometimes.

Thanks again.
