Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Wednesday, May 14, 2008. The Ice Age Trail 50-Miler. I went to Wisconsin this weekend for Mother's Day. I love my mom. She's the coolest. My family is so dear to me and I was so happy to spend some time with my mom and both my brothers. I threw in a little race on the Ice Age Trail to help round out my Midwest reunion. Photo by Dave Gorski: Mary in front, Ian Stevens sneaking a hug from me). So, we pushed with that goal in mind. We appr...

Secret Recipes: A Safe Place
http://lisabliss.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-safe-place.html
Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Thursday, June 20, 2013. Well, something happened earlier this week that was outside the scope of the usual experiences at the clinic. For some reason, this event is stuck in my head and I am compelled to write about it. I feel the need to share it with others because, well, I have never experienced this before and the event touched me deeply. The woman looked up. It was the first time I saw her face and, despite the swollen eyes an...

http://lisabliss.blogspot.com/2009/11/2009-spartathlon-race-report.html
Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Friday, November 06, 2009. 2009 Spartathlon Race Report. I failed to finish the 2008 Spartathlon. I struggled with my ankle for six hours after the mountain before I surrendered at Checkpoint 59 and requested a ride to my crew who was waiting for me just 3 km away. I emerged from the race vehicle and could hardly make eye-contact with them. My soul was heavy. Nearly a month passed before I came to grips with that experience. Last year, ...

Secret Recipes: So, back to that looming question...
http://lisabliss.blogspot.com/2011/05/so-back-to-that-looming-question.html
Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Sunday, May 22, 2011. So, back to that looming question. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Despite the unfavorable odds, I am going to try. The chance of failure is high, and therefore, the quote above simply does not apply. So, instead, I am going with this question: What would you do if you thought you were very likely to fail but stood just a chance in hell that you wouldn't? When it is likely and expected? There are ...

Secret Recipes: Rumination
http://lisabliss.blogspot.com/2010/08/rumination.html
Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Monday, August 09, 2010. What a scrooge I am! What a cynic, a downer. How un-vogue that I wrinkle my nose at it. My apologies to anyone who has posted it on his or her wall and received 20 approving "thumbs up" in response. You see, while I think it's fun to ask what we would do if we knew we could not fail, I think it's a silly question. It's not a quote but a question. What would I do if all odds were against me? Of course, it's not a...

Only those who risk failing greatly can ever succeed greatly." –RFK. Monday, September 08, 2008. Uncle Joe's 50k - Newport, WA. I've been trying to train better for the upcoming Spartathlon. I knew I had to train harder for the Spartathlon. Much of my Badwater. So, I've trained with more miles in the past 7 weeks (yep, that's all!
