It made me think how rare it is for a little girl to get to see her daddy at his weakest moments, but also at his strongest moments - often all wrapped up in the same second in time. Adrian was whining once and I asked her, "If your dad was running a race and he was really tired, would he stop?" She sighed heavily. "No," she said, "he'd keep going." What wonderful teaching moments come from ultras! You are going to rock Western. It's in your blood. Can't wait to see pictures of you on that track. Enjoy every second!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832887702075360312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263066988171288456.post-30023406139333404952011-06-20T14:31:43.685-05:002011-06-20T14:31:43.685-05:00It's because I LOVE you!

Love you! Wish you guys were going to be there this weekend! (and you WERE cranky at times.. and at other times you were happy... ). I try and nap on the trail but that damn Debbie won't let me!

That first trip to the Western States was totally unplanned. I was chosen from the wait list only 1 week before the race. Just throw everything into the car(the chevette) and head west. <br /><br />I am just happy you have found something that you can really enjoy. The fact that it is running is even better, but any thing would be fine. It makes a papa proud to see his daughter succeed as many things as you have done over the years. You have been a pleasure to watch as you have developed and challenged yourself over the years.<br /><br />Your words will follow me through the rest of my life and I will cherish them always. <br /><br />Good luck at the Western. The snow will make it a tough year but it is downhill from the top of the first hill, just ignore those minor 3000 ft climbs along the way. I know you will do fine. <br /><br />btw...why does everyone say I was cranky...I thought I was pretty easy going especially compared of some of my friends. Just because your mother would kick me out of the aid station when all I needed was a little nap...I am sure you know how that is...<br /><br />A little late getting to read this in that I have grampa duty this weekend. 100 miles might be easier.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10643709083035394867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263066988171288456.post-91004704402022333752011-06-19T20:29:55.124-05:002011-06-19T20:29:55.124-05:00Love this!
