Dropped at the start line

Hello Friends and Family,

 Much of our recent time since April 17 has been focusing on the future. Many wonderful things have happened in this month with Caris graduating being the top.

I went to Urgent Care 4-17 and left with an appt Friday 4-19 for a CT scan and a follow up with UNC Urology 4-24. In 7 fast days we learned I've been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Dr. was fairly confident it is the most treatable type. He took a lot of time going thru different scenarios, complications and all the other quick digestible info.

We left with a date for a Cystoscopy and surgery.

Spring to 5-16. Cystoscopy went good with some relieving news. Tumor was not blocking kidney duct! Which we were not aware that was an issue to think on, yeah. Dr. seemed to believe this was a low grade tumor with a good outlook of recovery. We also learned more about the surgical procedure including plan for being paralyzed/intubated, because a nerve that controls leg movement runs right next to surgical site.

We await any new info till surgery on Friday 5-24. Should hear biopsy results the following Wednesday.

We were dropped off at a race we didn't train for, equipped with no knowledge of the course or distance and have no idea what gear to use. We have friends who've run this race as well.

We are moving forward with a positive attitude, applying new knowledge, making the best decisions, keep moving forward. That's how you finish, one choice at a time.

Yes this is hard
Yes we have a lot of support
Yes there is love
Yes I have the greatest companion Jenny
Yes we will succeed

Much Love and Respect,  Harold

Bear 100 F.U.R. motivationals

Success is unique as an individual.

There is no hiding when a goal comes into focus.

Weak of mind; Strong of arse.

There is no greater fool than the one who never takes a first step.

 Early miscalculations should not be the basis of your next.

Stand alone or together, just don't stand long

Do not miss the satisfying calm of space between inhale/exhale. It is the pause between where deeper cleansing occurs.

Sir Issac Newton was an Endurance athlete, based on his second law of motion.

Unlike a common Rooteous Serpentes, Luminous Oculus Arachnida can only be viewed at night.

                                                    P(B) = 1 - P(A) :
Probability of an event lies between 0 and 1, whereas A and B are mutually exclusive events then the probability of A and B happening together is zero.

0.000056463% =  Bear finishers based on USA population

Your heart has the ability to produce the largest volume of work during an Ultra

A balance between thought and decision must be maintained so neither voice gets overridden.

Learn your strengths by pushing through your weaknesses.

Lows can seem immeasurable at the time

'Namaste here'.  Not a good plan for aid stations

100 mi x 5280' / 3' per step = 176000, a really long '99 bottles of beer on the wall' opportunity.

There is no argument about the addiction of Ultra running, I can only imagine a 12 step program to get you clean.

Why has the use of camouflage gone unnoticed in our sport.

Night seems long and strenuous as do most things foreign to us.

Hours will pass like minutes

For 36 hours everything in life is about you. Treat this moment with care. Respect yourself, praise yourself and embrace the spot light. The story is yours and yours alone.

The hardest object in the world is considered to be a diamond. I have a group of friends who could contest that.

Never project your current 'ahead of schedule with ease' till you get to a sunrise. Then we can talk.

Wild trees! Humbled rocks! Indecisive water! Stale dust! Pompous flowers! Renegade lichen!

POLE DANCING

In the darkest of hours...you will have a light. Come on, it's not end of times and sh.t.

Anxious nerves consume Elephant sized calories.



Thru the hallucinations  of bear stumps, cougar eyes, Sasquatch rustling and toto wearing Pharos hiking beside you, all of which can be taken legally in any state.

No shorter the distance than time

Life is full of delicate moments to be digested in due course

Once passed the caught eye of someone relieving themselves on course...all is part of the play unfolding 


Here is the pin ultimate list of ideas for a 100 miler
1. ?

At some youthful age, let’s say 4, you spouted off in a red tearful tantrum ‘THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN’. There’s a weekend of possibilities ahead!


Sometimes it is a fragrance adrift that  permeates your senses leaving you to curiously explore further 

It is amazing the tribe of people who come together for this event. We are from all ends of the spectrum and yet we are all here to do this. - Cruz

Too share, care and create life ambitions. This is why we cry, laugh and communicate respect for each other. It is not me, It is us and It is the best we have. Welcome to the honey pot.

Thoughts of L8

-A quite noise wave claims the intellectual shoreline with an ability to converse.

-Stay in front of your smile

-You got this

-A series of small decisions

-When you are driven against your grain do not step aside and give in, battle with will and       determination for resolve.

1.  10,000 years from now we may still be deciding who is 'right'.  It is the blue in the face silliness we attempt to win over that will not even matter when your gone. Compromise  is the fastest way to secure your enduring rule.

2.  Executing a plan has unavoidable hazards.

3.  H Syndrome.

4.  Unique benefits associated with the sharing of cupcakes are vastly underrated.

5.  I find it strange we have a infinite amount for us to ponder. It seems the same belief in a god should exist to value an amount of infinity.

6.  If we can show the world how we can isolate ourselves from our neighbors by encapsulating our borders with a wall then we can prove to all that we are no different than those who use force to control theirs.

8.  Life is short, circum to goodness.

9.  Abilities usefulness depends on the users strengths.

We have come to a time in our Governance, as overtly controlled by the wealthiest citizens, the greater populations voice is controlled by fear.

13.  The sleepy feeling should be exciting, naps.

14.  Taken to the other extreme, not exercising for 3 weeks makes a nervous body. Worst taper ever.

15.  There are always going to be multiple takes, viewpoints and opinions on every issue. We need not settle all the issues all the time through wasteful debate. We can find common ground on more issues than we can imagine if we stop and discuss ideals, core values and communal strengths. Creating a government that works for all, at a higher rate of speed than now.

16.  The emptiest part of not knowing is there could be nothing to know.

17.  "It's a beautiful glass." Human  Please take the 1:07 minute to see, feel and hear this most beautiful story.
