Its half way through May and quickly approaching June, halfway of 2011. I have been reflecting the last couple of days and have noticed a change in myself. A different side that i am not used to. I look back and from 2004 to 2009, I have been active in everything in my life. Since then, I have ran 21 marathon, 11 Half marathons, 6 week long 500 mile bike ride across Iowa, 14 century rides (100 miler,1 day), 26 hour relay run from Madison, to Milwaukee to chicago with no sleep for 36 hours, ran the 2nd toughest marathon in the Nation in Leadville, CO, at 10,000 ft to 13,500 ft which took me 8 hours to finish, hiked the Grand canyon twice. Been to Alaska and did a 5 day rafting, camping trip. Saw bears feast on Salmon at Katamai NP, Hiked the Na pali coast line in Kauai and who know what else I have done. After 2009, I have seem to have temporarily taken a break from all activity.
But that is all now going to change. I am moving on to a new era, a new gift of life and a new phase in my life. I am coming back more adventurous and more risky then before. If I ever die, I would want to die doing something that I love.
I am single, no commitment, alone, and no one to answer to. I am going to do what I want to do. There is no holding me back.
I don't seem to click with anyone or anyone with me. At first, yes, but things and circumstance changes. I have to admit, I am a very difficult person to admit and I am straight forward and set in my ways. That is who I am. I am a complex person with multiple personality.
My future goals are as follow and in no certain order.
- Hike the North side of the Grand Canyon
- Possibly hiking the Grand Canyon from Rim to Rim to Rim straight
- Try to run a marathon in each state
- Run an ultra 100 miler
- Run the Dance with Dirt in Hell Michigan, 50 miler
- Thru hike the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) a 4 to 5 month hike
- Finally do a triathlon, need to improve my swimming
- Run the Great wall of China marathon
- Run marathon in Europe
Cheers,
