running the bishop 50k felt like a celebration. only as i sat down to write this entry did i realize it was my 10th ultra! the day was experienced intensely. not enough pictures, songs, too slow, snapshot of my auditory experiences, snapshot of my brain. record the experiences as they unfold. size, power, colors, light, […] Read more
