Slow pace

I had the opportunity to help clean up the boyscout camp today. Opportunity because it afforded me chance to get outside and enjoy the place in which I live. I may never race with the fastest mountain runners, I may never travel abroad on a national team. But I can say with out a doubt that I train in harsher conditions than many of that team may ever experience. I am thankful for the strength that Western Alaska has shown I possess. I know that when I do race against the younger faster US team that I will do so knowing that I race with my full potential.
