Ultramarathoning: 2nd PAU 65 Km @ P2P

You should be hearing it too. I can hear mine. And that of others.

It’s not a jitter. Not as defined here.

It’s not a worry. Worry is defined as thoughts and images of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats. I’m sure of what I will do and I know exactly what I will be doing. On a positive note, I am always.

It isn’t also excitement

Definitely, it’s not a doubt of some sort. It’s not something negative. It’s very positive. It’s nice.

It’s a good feeling of something. It’s nice to feel.

It’s passion. As defined here.

It’s the passion for the sport.
It’s the passion for the long run.
It’s the passion for great camaraderie.
It’s the passion for positive pain. (Oh Yeah, it is!)
It’s the passion for conquering the distance.
It’s the passion for self-mastery.

Yes. It’s the passion for ultrarunning. With running here, we mean that we are not racing against anybody else but ourselves. We beat our own personal best. Our own personal records. We beat the clock by beating our own personal struggles. We carry on in whatever situation. We manage until we have succeeded. We endure the pain. We master the weather. We just wont quit. DNF is an alien term we will not define. We support and we draw strength from each other.

We are ultrarunners. I know. Because I am.

The Finish Line

P2P means Pasuquin to Pagudpud. It also means fun and lots of laughter along the road.

I wonder if we missed anything along the route of this run. Hmmm.
