This Too Shall Pass...Pine Creek 100

This is dedicated to a very dear friend, who unfortunately, has a few cells that went rogue.  She is the strongest woman I know. It’s not about acting tough.  The trail doesn’t care how many likes you get or the image you try to present.  Your toughness must come from the confidence you build in your own inner strength. It’s not about following trends.  It is about gathering knowledge and making your own choices based on what you know about yourself. It’s not about prestige.  There is nothing glamorous about kneeling by yourself, alone on a dark trail, holding your own hair, feeling like you just can’t push any further. It's not about inspiring. People only throw that word around when you are doing something they either don't want to, or don't think they can, do. It’s not about how you physically look.    I truly believe outer beauty only radiates from what is inside.      It is about knowing that life is messy.   You are going to get dirty,
