I met a lot of wonderful people and feel fortunate I was able to be there to help.Jannaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318674573303332537.post-23780376064809615082010-04-26T10:47:26.447-07:002010-04-26T10:47:26.447-07:00Loving this post [and all the photos!!] and especi...Loving this post [and all the photos!!] and especially this last comment: "the chance to experience others working through their own challenges, one dragon at a time."<br /><br />amazing.Emzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802735566381095035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318674573303332537.post-35901991932309483482010-04-25T19:50:13.569-07:002010-04-25T19:50:13.569-07:00will- thanks so much for the encouragement along t...will- thanks so much for the encouragement along the way- like i told you, been reading your blogs for a while now- did endurance stuff (ironmans) in the eighties and getting into this ultra stuff- people like you and others really make it fun and coming back for more- krogmann encouraged me everytime our paths crossed- but, at the end of the day it is family, you were great to my girls, and up the road was my wife and my two younger sons... wife and 4 of 6 kids not bad...(yes, same wife for all 6)..but really a compelling experience to hear my family's accounts of the day- people, volunteers, runners, and the 'ol man's journey...we are fortunate to live in so. county, and fulfillment, in it purest form, is not found behind the wheel of a mercedes on the way to south coast..it is setting a goal, and achieving it...and a bloody mary too...nice to kind of finally meet you! Good luck in your prep for WS and in your business- happiness and health to the kids...may the wind be at your back....all best.<br />Chris PetersChris Petersnoreply@blogger.com
