For the most part, we exist in a numb, dead society.

I’m doing my best to be alive and running in the mountains is the best way I’ve found to do that.

 And because I love the effortlessness that sometimes occurs while cruising down a cushy pine-needle singletrack or even while grinding up a switchback above tree line. I love how I can run up and into a mountain cirque or over a pass and be completely dwarfed and humbled by the sheer immensity and grandiosity of the landscape and I love flying down the other side with the breeze in my hair and the gravel in my shoes and the burning in my quads and the branches in my face and then when I'm finally all worn out there's nothing like

peeling my shoes off and just sitting. Just being at rest.

Running sharpens the focus on life and intensifies the emotions.

Is there any better reason to do anything?

I found that quote from Tony in web ...I think that hits the point.
Keep things simple as possible be happy that you are alive  and keep on moving.

"It's easy to imagine how you will act when things go according to plan,

that's why you must always prepare yourself for what you will do when

they don't."

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.

It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells

'CAN'T",

 but you don't listen.  You just push harder.

And then you hear the voice whisper

'can'.

And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are."

After two easy weeks of jogging and a party weekend the normality has to come back into life.




Today   preparation for my first Ultra Marathon started and a lot of work has to be done in the next twelve weeks. So I will start with basics again… collecting km´s … but this time the weekly km and time average is a bit bigger then before.
