For any given race, a bunch of friends will get together and plan to crew for a friend and fellow runner.  We get to listen in on one of those conversations on this podcast.  Beth is running the Bandera 100k in Texas in January and her crew had a call to go over everything.  Enjoy!

Stop and assess yourself right now...what are your values, what are you missing, what is your path???  Now make sure all these things are in alignment and if they aren't take the steps to get there.  Life is a journey that needs constant assessment and adjustments.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path- What is your path?  Believe in the spirit of God and Jesus along with the belief you have of yourself.  Those two beliefs coupled together will take you to amazing places. 

Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God will surpass all understanding.

Trail etiquette is important for all the outdoors people to assure we are being respectful and diplomatic on the trails.  Represent your outdoor recreation as a mountain biker, runner, hiker, backpacker, equine rider or hunter.  The important thing to remember is that we all have love for the outdoors, which means we are not that different!

 

Check out the podcast The Hunting Collective EP:73 to learn more about trail etiquette coming from a hunting perspective.
