Micah went missing on Tuesday. he left for a routine 12 mile run and did not return. we've been wondering where he was since Wednesday when he was reported missing. of course, hoping for the best... sadly, we learned that a close friend of his found his body last night around 6:40pm (mountain time) he was laying down peacefully with his water bottle by his side.
while runners all over the country are deeply saddened to hear of the demise of Caballo Blanco, it is a comfort to know that he passed with extreme dignity- doing what he did and loved best. i hope the same for myself. not here for a long time- just a long run.
i did a fresh ten yesterday, thinking of him. it was a good ten. as good as any ten miles could be six days after a marathon. i should probably not say that i'm inspired to start training for the ultramarathon. it would likely give my dad a heart attack.
