What a tough topic to discuss. Especially with Crazy Mountain 100 on the release date of this episode, but the reality is, this episode helped me preparte better for Crazy Mountain. It made me reflect on previous DNF's and how I can best execute on race day and avoid a DNF. Does it guarantee my finish...NO, but it increases the odds of finishing for sure! I hope this episode does the same for you!

Episode 300! Pretty excited to write that! And I'm so excited to say I finished the Silverheel 100-miler! My Rocky Mountain Slam can continue! Crazy Mountain 100-miler in a week! Here's my recap of the race. It went sideways, as most 100-milers do! I've just come to learn that it's mitigating, problem solving, and constant relentless forward progress! Let's go! 

I want to send a special thanks to Nathan, Penny, & Jack for their unwavering support in helping me get to the finish line. I love you my friends!

WARNING - THIS IS AN EMOTIONAL EPISODE!!!

I learned of my Great Uncle's passing & the cancellation of the Ouray 100 with the span of minutes. I thought it relevant to discuss processing. I'm grateful the Rocky Mountain Slam is letting us run Silverheels 100-miler as part of the series and I'm grateful to Sherpa John for welcoming us with a discount. I'll be starting Silverheels as this podcast releases! Almost to 300 episodes!

As I reflect on 36 of running, and look ahead to what I still want to do and how I still want to continue running, I thought this topic pertinent. In this episode, I talk about programming volume & intensity, how your goals can change, accepting life changes, and dealing with life stressors. I hope you enjoy!
