Consciousness is relative

Consciousness is Relative!

As I sit and get back into the blog-o-sphere, I have a concussion on my head.
  It was SO silly and stupid.  But, to be honest, I'm rather mad about it.  I
have been working my butt off stay healthy.  I use ice baths, epsom salt soaks,
ice packs, rollers, yoga.... And I have been forced into a rest day. I was told
by my my coach that head injuries and the subsequent changes in consciousness
that come from them are rather important.  Yeah yeah yeah... Consciousness is
relative!

 Backing up a bit, I have had an awesome summer so far.  I can now officially
call myself and ULTRA-RUNNER!  I ran 40 miles in The Run for the Fallen on July
28th. We honored the 63 Fallen Heroes and their families and friends.  We ran 1
kilometer for each Connecticut service member that has been killed. It was an
honor.  There is not much I can do for those that have sacrificed their lives
for our freedom, but I have been blessed with the ability to run.  So... I did
just that. I raised $1500 for The Wounded Warrior Project and the donations are
still coming in!  Thank you all! 

I am now registered for my first 100 mile race!!!!!!  I am competing in The
Pine to Palm 100 in Oregon on September 15th-16th.  My hotel is booked and
airline tickets are purchased. I have enlisted the help of a coach.  Life is
good folks.  

With all of this said, I am following the advice to rest.  This may seem
obvious to the "normal" folks but I am complying begrudgingly. However, I will
be out tomorrow pre-dawn.  Maybe I will see you out there.  If you're thinking
that I'm crazy... well ok.  If I was normal, I'd be boring and you most likely
wouldn't be reading this blog right now.  

Be well!  Be safe!!  Have Fun!!!
