Relentless Runner: April 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 16, 2007. Bull Run Run 50 Race Report. In the past I've relied upon many sources including my nieces, nephews, grandfather and God above to provide the motivation necessary to run ultramarathons. However in the race I was about to encounter I would have only my heart to rely upon because all of those sources of energy would be needed elsewhere. The Monday before my race my Uncle underwent major surgery to repair an aneurysm that formed in his heart. As the day of my race approached he.

Relentless Runner: July 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. I’ve always been standing still in time seemingly chasing a fantasy that filled my mind. I have the desire, the passion and the work ethic of a champion but I do not have the ability. I may never be a champion but this past week my friend, Lisa Bliss, gave me an opportunity to observe a champion at work. I watched her stay within herself and run her own race at a very consistent pace and then explode with less than 15 miles left to win. Once in Lone Pine there was no stopping her.

Relentless Runner: October 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. Delaware 100 Race Report. Is it a fools game or is it a positive way to express emotion? Why do I continue to run 100 milers? Where do I get the energy? Why do I search for my limits and push to exceed? I’m certainly not special or talented in anyway but instead I have some deep heartfelt emotions that most can not comprehend. Everything that I do, say, and think comes straight from my heart. There was much fear brewing from within but I fought each and every day and vowed to on...

Relentless Runner: May 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Due to my inability to train at the level I'm comfortable with my expectations at the Delaware Marathon were not high. I only wanted to run pain free and represent myself and my state with dignity oh and for once I wanted to have some fun. It was about feeling comfortable, having fun and running with pride while doing my best. The course was advertised as a fairly easy flat race around the city of. It would take me on roads that ran parallel to the historic Christina and. I had som...

Relentless Runner: February 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 18, 2007. Somewhere over the Rainbow. Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high. There’s a land that I run in that I heard of only once in a lullaby. Dorothy certainly wasn’t singing about me or running but her words ring so true. I can overcome any struggle by going to my own personal land where I’m given strength by those from above. Is it over the rainbow? I don’t know but it’s definitely somewhere in a land where things are not taken so seriously. My shyness wouldn’t allow me to expre...

Relentless Runner: August 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2007. I had the most amazing time in Leadville, as I was alone for one week with no responsibility and no one looking for me or depending on me for anything. I climbed mountains, read books, and exercised constantly. That was it, that was all I had and I loved it! The following week my brother and mother joined me and though I now had company I still had a blast. Why write about this you may ask? Posted by RR at 11:16 PM. Wednesday, August 01, 2007. Crewing for a Champion. She is a ver...

Relentless Runner: March 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2007. I’m a firm believer that the path we are led down in life is highly influenced by the people that surround us and the experiences we have as children. It’s certainly something we can choose and something we can change later but I believe early on most become a product of their environment. In my case I succumbed to my environment and the people surrounding me which in turn rerouted my path in a direction opposite of which it was going. It wasn’t his death nor was it the fact that ...

Relentless Runner: June 2007
http://relentless-runner.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. 2007 Western States 100 race report. I have always listened to my heart and only on rare occasions has it led me down a path of hurt and pain. More so than not the gamble has been worth the risk and the outcome has been fruitful and rewarding. There are very few people who understand what burns deep within my soul and how I process my thoughts into actions. My mind told me not to go but my heart said run. My decision made it was now time to make my way to. I would not be alone as...
