im looking at the tough mudder and the warrior dash and all those kinds of things and im just thinking about how theyre like the babies of the mother that is the leadville 100. it might seem kinda crazy for those of you who know it (for those who dont its 100 miles in the mountains in colorado and its amazing and hellish—google it), but its really one of my most prominent life goals. i havent thought about my future at all except for my future as a runner.
- become captain in cross country and win the championships and states.
- run in the tough mudder, an off-road triathalon, more trail races
- run in college, become a part of a decent d2 team
- out of college, run in some marathons like the marine corps and the boston and then some longer trail races
- try for the half iron man, if not, wait till after the next two points
- spend 2 years training for leadville, with the last 6 months or so dedicated solely to leadville.
- in the middle of that training, go back to copper canyon and run in the barrancas 50 miler.
- try for the full iron man.
- continue running for the rest of my life.
