Success!

Mississippi 50 Mile Trail Run - complete!  Race report coming soon but for now here is a picture just moments after finishing.  The day had a few twist and turns but overall was a great and challenging experiening.

It's Sooooo Close!

I know a race is approaching when my Brooks go from this....

To this...

To this...

Two more sleeps and these babies are going to run further than they ever have before.  Hey 50 miler: my shoes and I are ready for you!  The color is more toned down than normal and that was on purpose.  This isn't a tri race - I have to be a runner.  However, I couldn't give up the tradition completely and I shouldn't.  New shoelaces are me - strange, weird, crazy, or normal it's a tradition I'm going to keep.  The blue is a sky blue which is a good reminder to push through because my goals are sky high.  To meet them I have to take on challenges that are just out of reach.  They're also a good reminder to keep my head up and depend on the Lord.  This race is going to be tough but I'm prepared and ready to tackle it!
