      Just plain wonderful! Once again, congrats on completing the event. Your report has so much good info, it'll serve as a primer for my first 12 hour. And thanks for the link to the chocolate cake. I'll make a test batch soon, and try it on a long trail run. Much appreciated, all of it!

      Was going to do the belt but just another piece of equipment that can become a hassle like my HR belt slipping. Will fold up the number to make it smaller when there is no timing chip on the back. Thanks Goz and Symon. Good luck Sven, you will have quite a adventure that's for sure.

      Sven it was easier in this kind of race as you don't have to carry it with you. But the cake recipe I used still produces a nice solid texture which can easily cut into slices and put into a ziplock bag and shove into your pack. When I'm ready for those races again it will be my go to food. The soup is good but have to accept there is a adjustment period where my stomach hates me but after that all is fine. Might take the onions out next time and see if that makes a difference.

      A wonderful, thoughtful blog post. It sounds as though you're becoming more gentle with yourself, moving beyond the stresses to a greater self-acceptance.

      It was extremely liberating. Of course now I have another 20 years of crap in my house but I also have a wife and kids who are probably responsible for most of it. Life throws all kinds of lessons at us all of the time. I just keep trying to grow as a person. I fall down a lot...but I also learn a lot. I guess there is never an end...you just keep learning and growing and falling.

      Just recently figuring out that there doesn't have to be a goal and there doesn't have to be a end is quite scary at first but I've now found liberating. " you just keep learning and growing and falling" is our short lives in a nutshell. Well said.

      Lots of resonance there. I'm constantly letting go - or trying to let go - of that yearning for validation. Krishnamurti often talked about moving beyond the images we hold, of ourselves and of others, and I've found that helpful. Keep scratching.

      Thank you for the introduction to Jiddu Krishnamurti. Just finished reading Everyday Zen by Charlotte J Beck and that really had some insight and a bit of a primer on zen for me.
