What a difference a year makes. After a bunion that broke through the skin and eventually resulted in surgery wiped out pretty much all of my running and other activities in 2023, this year has seen me excitedly get back into doing big things - whether it was an amazing mountaineering trip in Chile, tearing out the turf in part of my yard and replacing it with a waterwise garden with native plants, editing Cole Chlouber's memoir, "Grit, Guts & Determination," about the birth and growth of the Leadville Race Series, and now completing the Leadville Heavy Half. The latter was with Team Leadville and that included the challenge of raising funds for Warriors' Ascent. The race went very well and the group collected more than $125,000 to fund programs that help prevent veteran and first responder suicide, SAVING 62 lives! Everything is building up to the Leadville Trail 100 in August where I'll be attempting to become the first runner to ever finish it in four different 10-year age groups. Do you have it in you to do something big? Train for a big event? Write that book? Take an epic adventure? I hope I can inspire you to take the leap to give it your best shot to challenge yourself to do something big!
