Number 26!


This last weekend (September 25th) I was in Minneapolis for a cross country meet.  It was about a five mile race on a very hilly and muddy golf course.  With maybe a quarter of a mile left I noticed this guy ahead of me (I'm not acutally sure if he is Kenyan or not...)  but he sure looked like it.  I remembered that it was one of the things on my list to beat a Kenyan and I knew that was a good chance to do it.  So I managed to pass him coming down the home stretch.

The Beginnings of a Bucket List

"Life is not the amount of breaths you take. It's the moments that take your breath away."
