It had to have been the left over endorphins from Run Rabbit Run. Or maybe I had looked at the pictures of that event too recently. Or it could have been 30 hours of steady facebook updates as I waited for news of Friends from Loopville run around Huntsville at Rocky Raccoon. I am not sure, but whatever it was got me thinking that I could do it too.
So yesterday, as the snow was falling, Sarah told me to go ahead and plan my race schedule for the year and do you know what the first race I signed up for was? Thats right....a 100 miler, a Hundo, the Big Shibang...The Virgil Crest 100 Mile Trail Race, September 21-22 in Virgil NY (Running up and over Greek Peak ski resort....TWICE)
Stinkin Crazy, Right? I know...
Sarah gave me some reasuring words tonight though, as Miss K asked what the word average meant, Sarah answered that it is when people settle for what they have and stop trying to pursue more, when someone stops reaching for excellence and just settles. Not necessarily happy, but not unhappy either...just living.
Then Sarah turned and said to Keira "but your daddy is anything but average...he is eccentric, and always going further and yes after signing up for a 100 mile race, proved that he is off his rocker...he is many things, but not average"
To this Keira says, "Oh, well I love my daddy too"
Maybe I am off my rocker, a little bit insane, and possibly eccentric...but I dont want to live my life any other way. So here is too 100 miles in 30 hours...no, it is not your average weekend run.
