David's wedding to Arianna was that afternoon and he decided to go for a early morning long run in the forest outside of town.

An after a treat he headed up his favorite trail.

The trail was a 12-mile lollipop loop he had run only once before and that was in summer, not winter and there was a bit of snow still on the trail.

The snow made for dangerously unstable footing.
Sometimes it doesn't matter where the train is going, just that you get on.

Coach
While about 6 miles out of town, he rounded a corner and was startled by a grizzly bear.

He slipped and turned his ankle under.
He fell on his face and the bear approached.

Slow-smooth-fast
He realised that he had slipped on a frozen lake, and he was merely looking at his reflection and due to the rough last few weeks he did not look too good.

His beard was growing out in patches. But worse, his ankle was throbbing.

His mind overrode the fear and pain..."I must get in my long run this week" David said, as he rose to his feet with new found strength and determination.

"A goal not written down is only a dream...!"
You could see it in his eyes. Some switch had been flipped. He was going to give 101%, bear or no bear.

He sprinted away from the bear, his cadence approaching 180.
