Tarmac Meditations #159: “Put me in, Coach. I’m ready to play.”

May 22, 2015 By Michael Lebowitz 2 Comments

In the last weeks I shot three events, two of them back to back. First time in two years that I have been healthy enough to get out of the door and do this thing I love to do. Maybe things are turning around. Whatever it is, I’m committed to staying out of my own way, and to keepin’ my “head in the game and my eye in the lens.” I don’t see that I have any other choice but to “keep on keepin’ on.”

Shot another race event today. Felt like old times. Worked hard, got paid, got home safe. The image is of the mornin’ fog at the race location. Damn, I love this stuff.

I’m tired, wore out in truth, but I feel good about the weekend’s work output. I appreciate the support andgenerosity of the people in the Trail running community who make my efforts seem worthwhile to me as i do my level best to keep on keepin’ it real.

Start of Mac Forest 50 K yesterday in Black and White (because that’s how it feels to me). It was a wonderful event on a wonderful day for it. Like the old rock and roll dudes would have said, “Felt like home to me.” Grateful barely describes it: thanks again to all y’all and particularly to Ken Ward and Dennis Gamroth, the Rd’s, for the opportunity to get back on the field.
