No problem with the "borrowed"...Hey Julie. No problem with the "borrowed" picture of the bamboo forest!!! I love that part of the trail. DORBA cut a new trail through that area less than two years ago, so that portion of the trail is still developing. But neat spot. It's about a half mile NW of the MADD shelter. <br /><br />I love the quote from your friend... "It's not the easy runs that make you great, it's the tough ones." I'll bet if you hadn't fallen early you might have had a very different race experience. An early injury like that can definitely put a damper on your run... physically, mentally, and emotionally. <br /><br />But the amazing part is that you picked yourself up and kept going--you finished the race. You can't train for that... the resolve you showed comes from deep within. It's part of who you are. It's a gift! That's what this endurance thing is all about... overcoming the difficulties and continuing to push forward toward the goal, one step at a time. And that's exactly what you did. <br /><br />You're an inspiration!Thomas Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896072173954934454noreply@blogger.com
