I appreciate the support, bro. I really wanted to run each other into the ground at Bighorn. :) And yes, I expect you to take a break in my honor, in proper style. At the final summit, before you blaze the final descent to the Tongue River Canyon, in the nice green meadow, overlooking the soon to rise sun. Peace. -Bronco Thanks for the words on my blog, tough to come to terms with almost there after the injury, but not quite. I appreciate the support, bro.

I'm going to try to make the trip down to Hardrock this year, perhaps I'll see you there tearing through an aid station. Enjoy, - Greg Hey man - good seeing you, Cheryl, and Binger the other weekend.

I haven't yet. If he's on it, he'll slay it for sure. It would be a good race to focus on! The best way to find out is to check the runners roster on the website. I haven’t yet.

From what I know about Karl, he has earned the respect of his peers and the right to be confident in a way that keeps him on top of his game. And for one, it motivates the competition, to let them know that this 40 something guy isn't slowing down anytime soon. So, watch out, he's coming!!!

He must be taking a break. His record ain't goin' nowhere! Positive thinking is the key to success, not just fitness...once you have it. Nice words Jason, thanks for the support!

I can't say that I've won any ultras but my best finishes have come since I started believing that I could at least finish in the top 10. I started believing that I had as good a shot as anyone else and I ran thinking that way. Certainly one has to have the solid physical preparedness but having that mental game sharpened up to where you feel confident is crucial to placing well (or finishing if that's your goal). Often it's easy for confidence to be mistaken for cockiness or being stuck up but that's when one needs to take the time to get to know a person better before making that brash judgment.
