UNCOMMON

        It seems very uncommon to do what we do.  It appears uncommon to run so many miles throughout the summer, during the season, in the cold winter, in the thawing of the spring, and then do it again!  Many would say at the end of this summer that "it is another summer gone by," (that would be the "common" way to see it), but I would argue that “it is another summer moving forward…improving, getting better, LIVING!” So, all this work and time, seems uncommon to regular folk, but what about other running folk?  We have the PREMIER XC INVITE coming up.  Will you feel "uncommon" there?  Maybe not initially or directly, but here is where you might be wrong in thinking like that!  Being uncommon is not about having to be different or to be noticed...it is about realizing and doing the little things to be better than before! All the miles, the time, the mornings, the night runs, the canyon runs, the sacrifices, the communication, the ups and downs, the heat, the sweat, the discomfort, the nerves, the smiles, the MOMENTS...that we have spent together...make us uncommon!  Not because we are trying to be different, but because we love and trust what it is, we are really doing...” MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN!” Even among runners, we are uncommon because of what we are willing to do to BETTER EACH OTHER, and BETTER OURSELVES!  The Little Things, the Dreams, the Attitude, the Heart...are all things that matter to us, that help us to take something as common as running, and make it into something...  

REMARKABLE!! MOMORABLE!!

Crazy enough, Remarkable is one of the definitions of "Uncommon!"

IT IS ALL WORTH IT!!!
