This morning, I withdrew after 13.5 miles due to not wanting to push through injuries that I affirmly believe would have inhibited my abilities as a father, around the farm, and work if left ignored. In a way, it makes it easier to close this particular chapter on ultra running to start a new chapter, pushing myself to be physically as strong as my time and natural physiology will allow. I'm humbled by the likes and verbal support I received from everyone. Thank you.
