I don’t write race reports or have a blog about my adventures, I take pictures make videos about them. A couple weeks ago, I ran 100 miles through the mountains in Virginia, and this is my story!
My family has a motto, “We can do hard things.” This is such an important lesson we want our kids to learn in a time where doing less work and making things as easy as possible is celebrated. Sure, that’s great a lot of the time and I benefit greatly from the daily advances in technology, but sometimes you need to dig in and work harder than you thought you could to do something you think you can’t. We talk to our kids about it when they are struggling with things kids struggle with, and we show them how by actively seeking out challenges and not shying away from the ones that come to us. We want them to be confident when they’re in the arena and no one else can help.
This race was years in the making and by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The video didn’t turn out as I dreamed it would, I had to ditch the camera at the halfway point. I realized that finishing would take everything my body and mind had left, and I needed to focus entirely on it.
There’s also another video linked where I talk though the whole race and tell the story of what it’s like for someone from Indiana to run 100 miles in the mountains. The Grindstone 100 is an absolutely amazing race.
Thanks to everyone that has supported me along the way, every bit of encouragement is huge. Enjoy the video!!
