Favorite Quotes: "Impossible is nothing"

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
— Chris McCandless

- During my first ultra at McNaughton Park (50 Miler)... mile 33ish.. crossing over a creek on a tree.. Both of my legs cramped up, and I could barely move.. I was almost in tears, and I wanted to quit.... I didn't know what to do.. Then a lady that was doing the 100 came running through.. she helped me off the tree.. and pushed me through the next 5 miles.. After getting through that.. I knew I had to finish... and I will forever be greatful for that woman who helped me keep going..
