'dem ultrarunnin' folk
when talking about ultrarunners, it's common to hear people talk about how nice a group they generally are.
like, the preeminent quality of being an ultrarunner is being "nice."
so yeah.. i got into ultrarunning, and the people were very nice. how about that?
but then i got to know a few of them a little better.
all my life, i like being around the most could always bring a smile to my face, or make me laugh, or just improve my disposition by their presence. we all know people like this.
but the ultrarunners i've gotten to know go beyond that. i actually feel lucky and fortunate to know some of these people.
hmm, that doesn't put it in perspective.
lotto. i feel as lucky to know these people as i'd feel if i won the lotto.
seriously.
there you go.
so while before i valued the friendships that made me smile. and those people always have been and always will be great. however, now, with my most valued friends, i get a warm feeling of happiness just being around them.
it's wild.
but i feel so strongly about this that i wrote this squishy sappy post..
