    Tim always speaks so sincerely from the heart and his eyes contribute so much to his sincerity, humility, and grace. Thank you.

    This is great stuff. One of my favourite parts of the sport is the stories and how we all try to push ourselves.

    Lesson of the day , it's ok to take a pause, just reset and get back out there! So glad you reset and went onto the super finish and will be back!

    I'm not sure if I've heard someone else refer to their running career as failing upward before. I've failed upwards from junior high to collegiate to now ultra. Never being the best, often being one of slower ones the higher up I get, but I'm still doing it.
