CCIE5851: 2018 Race Schedule

I like to share my plans for upcoming events as it helps keep me focused on the objective during the daily grind of life. This year will be a year of pushing myself further than ever. With that in mind, here's an image that came across my feed and it seems appropriate.

I started 2018 with a knee injury earned in Iceland at my attempt at the Ultra. I'll be having surgery to repair the torn meniscus on Jan 19th and my recovery will be a challenge with my training plans. I'll do my best and have already learned that there is much to learn from failure. I've also started working with a running coach as just brute forcing my training hasn't been the best and I need help.
