Totally beautiful here and I am grateful to once again experiencing the good life that comes from non drug use.  I have a 2 time Ultraman finisher here on my crew by the name of Darwin Holt.  He  drove 15 hours from Edmonton and also financially contributed to the house we are staying in.  I am thankful for this but more importantly, he is providing a sense of calmness to my mind that many of you know I desperately need.  My mind is constantly racing and I simply need to find that “Off Switch” and from the conversations I have had with D the

past 2 days have helped me gain that.  This event is not a “race” to me but rather an experience.  It is unlike Ironman or anything else I have ever done for that matter.  When I did Ultraman Hawaii, I went through amazing things, physically, spiritually and emotionally and that is what I am pursuing here again along with a sense of calmness.  I have proven I can do the distance so it is not about that for me but rather enjoying the distance and that is something completely different.

The film crew arrives today and things will not kick into high gear.  Please check out www.runningwithdemons.com or be a friend of Running with Demons on Facebook where we will have live updates throughout the event.

I am actually sitting here alone and doing nothing and I LIKE IT.  So here are a few pictures and I am done with the blog.  Thanks to everyone who is supporting me personally, professionally and Racing for Recovery.  I KNOW in my heart and soul I would not be where I am without you all and God.

To Melissa and the kids.  Thanks again for allowing me to

do what I do.  I know you all do not completely understand it all but please know there is a purpose to everything that I do and it is with the best of intentions.
