Thanks though. Hopefully I can remember my own advice as I leave for the adventure of my life where I'm sure I will have many ups and downs. Patience and perseverence are two important virtues in our sport -- they're easy to forget sometimes when suffering is knocking at the door.Cassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-48668667066497102812011-04-28T08:20:39.337-04:002011-04-28T08:20:39.337-04:00Dave, you have just had the experience of learning...Dave, you have just had the experience of learning from the best of the best. You could not have had a better person to give you what you needed than Adam. I loved reading your report. I think of myself as being an experienced ultra runner, but I will also have to admit that I struggle with some of the same things you struggled with. Each run is different and we have to constantly adjust to those changes. In reading your report, it seems like the biggest thing you learned is that how you feel is like a roller coaster. You will have bad times, but things do get better if we are just patient. Congratulations on a top notch run.Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.com
