I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
You'll ruin your knees!

Life is short, play hard!
My wife and i have so many they hide in a drawer, but I'm wearing my Hardrock buckle as I write. Last night I was watching "Run for the Soul", a story of Western states and yes, this is where the idea of the buckle originated. It was a horse race and Gordy Ansleigh's horse got lame, so he ran the whole thing in under 24 hours and got his buckle. To this day WS runners get that same buckle when they finish in under 30 hours. Silver buckles for under 24. WS isn't the only 100 that gives buckles....I have a buckle from Old Dominion 100, Vermont 100, Hardrock 100 and several from Massanutten 100 in Virginia, oh and one from the Bandera 100K. My wife, Deb got a silver buckle at MMT for winning the master's race one year. One that I don't have and would love to get someday is the sub 25 hour Leadville buckle....it's silver and th size of a dinner plate! But I'm probably getting too old to even think of that at age 55.
Some runners drag a tire. I drag a Great Pyrenees.
