COT:
The Q reflected on the immortal words of Patrick Swayze’s character John Dalton in the movie Roadhouse—“Be Nice”. This is as true in life as it is in the movies. Many problems can be prevented by just being decent to one another. Remember, “All you have to do is watch my back and each other’s…and take out the trash.”

COT:Q told story of neighbor whom he never met but annoyed him for 17 years bc of his parking habits. Q was working on repairing his sons basketball hoop and this neighbor came over to help him and in the process described how he loved watching his two sons that are no longer here play basketball for hours and he wanted to help me so my kids hoop was fixed. Lesson learned by the Q: don’t judge a book by its cover and you never know what challenges and tough memories others have. After 17 years of ignoring each other we spend over an hour talking and Q was humbled

Book – Nowhere Near First
— Ultramarathon Adventures From The Back of The Pack.
By: Cory Reese

Quote – Martin Luther King Jr, “If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Catastrophic Thinking — Is when you get stuck in negativity, focus on worst-case scenarios, and lose hope of anything positive. The negativity spirals into disaster. In an ultramarathon, it’s nearly impossible for me to avoid catastrophic thinking at some point along the way. In talking with other runners it sounds like catastrophic thinking is fairly common.
