The other day in the shower I thought that my life is just a happy blurr. And why should it be any other way? I used to hate it when my dad quoted those quotes, "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." But alas, I've concluded that those quotes are true. I don't have anything to complain about. I might hurt 25 or 40 or 50 miles into a race, but that's something us kids like to call a "first world problem." Running is such a trivial and luxurious activity, and I'm thankful I get to partake and that I'm healthy. Goodness, my little blog posts always begin so sentimentally.
Dare I say 2012 was the best year of my life. School went well, I made and developed some incredible friendships, summer was a unique experience, and my running continually improved and improved. It's 2013 now, and it began with new friends in New Zealand. Blacksburg brought snow, and a UltraVT 50k to go along with it. I have nothing to complain or worry about.
