That says something very important relating to the fettle of the principled passion: that it is based on a corporation in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a sparkler, something fairly dainty, but whose acutely precise beauty is inseparable from that fragility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-7096096592703797612008-12-08T13:38:00.000-09:002008-12-08T13:38:00.000-09:00Thought i would share something I read on someone ...Thought i would share something I read on someone else's blog (a guy that paced for another runner)<BR/><BR/>"Kyle Skaggs, Matt Carpenter, Uli Steidel, Geoff Roes, Leigh Schmitt, Michael Wardian, Hal Koerner, Guillermo Medina, Karl Metzler, Kami Semick, Susannah Beck, Nikki Kimball, and more illustrious names which I may miss, newbie that I still am after 3 years in ultra.

I know he supposedly has a full-time job, but I'm not sure I believe it, as he literally seems to be running ALL THE TIME. :-) Even when he's out with his kid, he's running and pushing the kid in the jogger stroller...<BR/><BR/>I've run with his <A HREF="http://www.inclineclub.org" REL="nofollow"> Incline Club</A> a few times, and they train over some tough (up, up, up) terrain.<BR/><BR/>Keep at it the way your are though, and I predict you'll be beating him and Stiedl soon enough.Fonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504462046067745769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-83900796440972405182008-12-07T14:43:00.000-09:002008-12-07T14:43:00.000-09:00That was some field!
