"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." - Nelson Mandela . . I finally have my new blade😊. Perfect timing as I take on a 16 mile vertical challenge trail race on Saturday. The race is a 2 mile loop with one of the miles a vert climb. I will need to complete all 8 loops to earn my t-shirt. I want that t-shirt🤣. This race should be good vert training for Transrockies. Perfect way to see what this new blade can do. I do think my new blade needs an ultrarunner sticker on it though😉 . . Thank you bluecollarrunners for the wonderful story you did about me for ultrarunningmag. Link in bio if you want to read it😉 . . . . . #mondaymotivation #run #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #ultrarunningteam
