100 miles....Check!!!

Speedgoat Karl Meltzer has won more 100+ mile races than any other person in history....granted the 100 mile history is only 41 years old... but his tag line is "100 miles is not that far". If you look at a map, driving 100 miles really isn't that far. If you look at an ultra endurance race, 100 miles is a LONG freaking way. And now, I can officially say that I've completed it.... A lot of the successes in my life have come out of epic failures. As I have stated on numerous occasions, I was never a good student and will always have problems taking tests. My drivers test took me 3 shots to pass, I failed 3 classes in college before finally graduating, my insurance licensing tests took 3 times to pass. I do my best work by failing, rebounding and pushing forward. This isn't always the best strategy, but it is what has worked for me. I don't like failing, but I have chalked it up to a piece of life that I just have to get used to. On January 24-25, 2015 howeve
