Cunning Phobias

What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?

I never thought I could sit down and write a story from beginning to end. That sounds relatively easy, but I’m always been an idea person and never an execution person.

For many years I spent times in the woods running tremendous amounts of miles. The idea of running 50 miles at a time was always daunting to me, but not impossible. When you’re running in the middle of the Cascades mountains, there are times you come to barriers that appear impossible. One such typical incident is the towering waterfalls in Eagle Creek..

I have a tremendous fear of heights. There were points in the run(s) where we were 500 feet above the ground, holding onto ropes and occasionally running behind waterfalls. Those little challenges somehow I got through them.with quivering knees and a sense of no turning back.
