As i had my headphones in, sweat dripping, hoodie on today i was in the dumb place again... On the spin bike, thinking of how last night i signed up for Bandera 100k. Thinking of how much fun it will be if in snows... Thinking how much i have always wanted a usatf medal in my hands. I remember this summer laying in Michele Yates workout room in her home.. Looking up as i did crunches as her medals, the jerseys and the immense amount of pride that i saw in that room. I told this to my wife last night as her reaction to my wants was are you seriously crazy.. I know i said the knee gave me all it could.. But thats not enough for me.. and it wont ever be.. I love the mountains. i love to climb anything. it dosent hurt when im climbing, its the only time i can push and not be in pain.. She realizes that this is a goal of mine and that Bandera Hill Country SNA is my favorite place to be. She said she understood and i went to sleep at 4am having that grin on my face.. As my mind wandered on the bike I thought to myself maybe im okay, maybe this whole surgery appt thing is a joke.. I can put #teamdeadhorse back on the saddle for a few more months.. As i looked down the incoming call was from the surgeon... His scheduling assistant wanted to call to confirm the date of 2/4 one more time. She noted my ability to cancel appts over 6 times in the last year. Even noted that baring voicemails i hadnt been in the office since may... hmmmm. As i confirmed the appt the reality set back in... Well the next month I am going to get to accomplish 3 major goals.. #1 I am going to line up at Bandera 100k and give it all i have. #2 I am headed to hike some mountains in TEXAS with my family and #3 I will pace Jeremy Handsome Hanson to his first 100 miler at Rocky Raccoon 100. There is no complaints. There is no regrets. No matter what situation you are in in life FAIL FORWARD... Constantly push the bar higher, farther and bigger. Without pain you will never grow. I cannot began to tell you how excited I am to line up saturday morning and hit those mountains.. Time to BUCKLE UP 2x in 11 days..
