That was so f*cking hard… 100 miles is a beast, no matter how you spin it. This one was extra hard. Went in with lofty goals to PR all my ultra distances, so went out quicker than I probably would have normally. And it caught up to me… went into the pain cave at the 100K mark (62 miles) and never came back out the last 38 miles until we hit 100 miles. Crazy part about these things is yes, I hit the goals I set out to accomplish (minus longest distance) but that’s not what I’ll remember about yesterday. What I’ll remember most is the depth of the pain cave we reached, sitting at mile 80 for 30+ minutes everything screaming to give up… convincing myself to stand up and keep moving. THOSE are the moments we remember. There’s this beautiful thing that happens when we get real deep into these ultras… the ego is stripped and we’re left staring at our rawest and realest selves. For me, with everything stripped away, all I think about is my family, how much I love them and how lucky I am to have them. I’m so lucky to have my partner @kaygentry58 and be a dad to my amazing, thoughtful, sweet and beautiful little girl. We set out to make this the newest hardest thing we’ve done to date… and we accomplished just that 💪 One mile at a time. #LivingWithPurpose #Runner #Ultrarunning #Sober #Running

If youre reading this thinking “that life isn’t possible” im here to tell you it absolutely is. In no way am I more talented or smart than the next person. As a person in recovery, I simply attribute it to staying sober and consistent, trying to do the next right thing… and hopefully those actions day after day, year over year, turn into “luck” in creating a life to be extremely grateful for 🙏 #sober #recovery #soberlife #recoverylife #morivation
