 Weston Pass, I've never run here, and I've probably driven by this a thousand times in my life because it's on the way to my hometown, BV. And that's a beautiful day, a little warm, but that's okay. I'm going to do my watch. I am currently at 9,938 feet, so basically 100% of this run will be over 10,000 feet. I think I'm going to top out at about 12,000, and it's going to be a long one, starting to practice the old forever pace. Because this is basically the first pretty long run for prep for the 100 miler in September, which, believe it or not, is about two and a half months away. So you've got to start now, and I'm excited. I've got my cliff shots, I've got my goos, I've got my baby food, I've got my water. Probably the most important thing today is water, because it is warm and windy as you can hear in the microphone right now. Tip of the day, whenever you're going out for a long run, out in the wilderness, make sure you tell someone where you're going. Just like that's a tip of the day, something true love and I do. So she knows where I'm at, and you know, you just got to put that out there. First to the top, 11,921 feet, so about 2,000 feet of vertical, and I'm going to tack on a couple of miles up here. I'm going to hit that marathon distance today. That was a doozy. You basically gained most of the elevation in the last three miles. So yeah, that was a doozy. A little background there. Alright, let's go. Live to see another day. Live to see another day. I'm now standing in Fair Play, Colorado. Got 23.7 miles in. I wanted that 26 miles so bad, the marathon distance, but I don't mess around with lightning. And oh man, I was gunning for it. I was feeling good cruising, but I don't mess around with lightning. God bless the couple from Kansas City and their Jeep that stopped to pick me up because I was thumbing. That's right, I did some hitchhiking back to my car the last two miles because there was lightning striking. Not too close, but close enough that I was like, this just isn't worth it. This is not worth it. Live to see another day. Live to fight another day. There's many more days of running ahead if you're smart. So that's what I did. I called it and I literally said, Lord, please send me a car. Because it was getting a little testy, a little testy, but I was just hanging out in the trees, you know, squatting down, just being safe. And I was like, Lord, send me a car. Boom. Ten seconds later. Boom. Here comes the Jeep. All right. I just soaked my legs in the creek. Tomorrow I'm going to try and go long again and far again and high again and elevation and vert and all that good stuff over at Breckenridge. That's where I'm driving to right now. But because I'm going to do that, I got to soak my legs in this icy cold water and see if I can recover a little bit. P.S. to love. Thank you for the snack, the sandwich, and the spicy Cheetos. The spicy that come off. Great post runs. Since this is real life, I'm in a car, Toyota Corolla, going to bed. I'm not camping out in a tent tonight. Decided to go to the car. I don't own a small tent. We have the 10 man tent for the family, which is great for the family. But I don't know, maybe someday I'll get a small tent. I just don't really, I don't know. It's car works, car works, you know. I basically aspire to be like my brother, Joseph, who has a nice truck. And I think he's got like a nice setup in the back where he can sleep. And I would like that at some point. I would like that at some point. But for now, Toyota Corolla is going to have to do. So that was a great excursion. I'm in Breckenridge, Colorado, just so you know. And tomorrow running up and down Breckenridge in the morning. Well, first Starbucks, work, then running up and down and then zipping back to Denver. More work. That's a drill. All right. That's all. Signing off. I was going to say something creative and interesting, but I forgot. I don't know. Seek beauty, work hard, and love each other. See you tomorrow.
