after watching jeff and rod run western states in '07 all i have been thinking over almost the last two years... what a race man, what a race. rod's 3 1/2 hr pr, amazing, simply amazing. and jeff pulling out a top ten, wait, single digits baby... M9... fantastic
but not only to see those guys pull off a great race i also look at rachael landon's fantastic execution.
to see the joy in her finish was just as equal to any top ten finish.
i would like to feel that same joy they did that day in june some day. amazing.
and to see LB's goal change after seeing that top ten wasn't going to happen that day to finish under 20.
and one more... and to watch TM to start to put the hammer down in volcano canyon and running some unbelievable splits all the way to auburn...
all simply amazing performances...
I will leave you with this thought from what i learned from watching these folks that day in june...

These are such wonderful examples of personal inspiration. It's a shame most of America is focused on fake reality shows. But brain and body dead public make the best consumers of cheap food and false hopes of happiness. Run on Tommy, we all do the best living by example.
