I saw you at the Black Hills 100 finish line. Hands raised, fists clinched, and cheering at the top of your lungs. Knowing you and Dax are my #1 fans melts my heart. Shiny belt buckles, high fives, and that finish line rush might seem like the best part, but it’s not about the finish. I know what you are thinking, then why would Grandpa run 100 miles?

Emerging from sheer rock cliffs of the Tongue River Canyon I paused at the aid station to refill my water bottles and grab a couple handfuls of pretzels and M&M’s. An aid station worker sent encouragement “only five miles to go!” After a couple minutes, I nodded to Jake indicating it was time to get on with it.
