finished in 3:03, 26th out of over 500 registrants and over 450 starters. i liked the math going into tomorrow.
most of all? i LOVED seeing my family at the Finish Line; Dewa going crazy with love while holding up her hand-written sign which read, “GO DAD GO!!”
such is why we race.
wish me Godspeed tomorrow and keep your Wholistic Fitness practices strong.

the thing is? Warrior McNabb is a survivor of a brain aneurysm…
sure, of course, i love running, snowshoeing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and nowadays taking my daughter along the sinewy sweetness of the massive network and drop-to-your-knees beauty of the Four Corners trails! doh!
