I ran 70 miles in the Outrun 24 hour Trail Race at Chapin Forest in Kirtland, Ohio. I met my goal which was to run my age (69) plus one year since I would turn 70 in mid June. I have done endurance sports, marathons, triathlons, and ultra marathons every year since age 23. It’s a lifelong dedication to striving to see what I am made of. Competing mostly with myself keeps me coming back for more. I haven’t always been successful in running 100 mile races, but I learn so much from my experiences. It’s not often the prize you get after that is important. It’s the quest, the striving that is fulfilling. I hope this episode nudges someone to venture out and begin exercising, or makes one attempt a race that they might have been reluctant to try. Other episodes of Telich Talks have dealt with fitness and exploration. I hope you give those a try. As always I urge you to subscribe and pass this along. Twitter @JohnTelich8 Instagram @johntelich
