I just finished my week having run 101 miles. This is the first time. It happened to little fanfare on a dark trail about 20 minutes ago. Every amateur runner has those "firsts"--the first time you break 16, for instance, your first marathon, your first 100 mile week. All of these things are just arbitrary numbers (distance, miles, time) of course but when you think about it, most things in life are rather arbitrary and have no meaning except to the individual personally. How much money you make, where you stand in your fantasy football league, how much you can bench, etc. What really matters is not the numbers or even the great races. Rather, it is the process, the people you meet and help, and the enjoyment it brings to yourself and others. If you pay attention to the process, stop and smell the roses from time to time, you may also learn something about life. It's the journey, not the destination. I'm going to drink a beer now.
