I decided it was a good time to turn on the music, so I did.  And my iPod was possessed by Satan. The volume constantly went up and down, up and down.  When I would walk, it would level off, so I gave it a shot for a few minutes.  As soon as I started to run again, it started oscillating again.  Off goes the Ipod.  No music for the rest of the day.” – I AM TIMBEAUX [...] [...] “I was running very comfortably and things felt good.

I'd like to come come up with all the "you da man" type sayings i could...but "you da man" just covers it. I am humbled by your continued support of the work of Habitat for Hope and your passion to run for a cause. You are an inspiration to me that that I can be old, bald and awesome. (I really think you need to go with the full shave). Seriously...when you did Ironman and raised over $60,000 for Habitat for Hope we were just BLOWN AWAY. Then you call us and say hey I"m thinking about running a 100 MILE RACE and would like to raise more funds for HFH. I'm thinking ... this guy is nuts! Maybe is the water down in those parts, maybe its the desk job, maybe its chasing to extremely active children, maybe its the shine off your head...or maybe your just plain weekend warrior gone crazy. When Apple came out with their "Think Different" campaign...there was a quote with it that went like this: "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." Tim from all the families we serve with Habitat for Hope, from our staff, from the hospitals we serve, from all those who you inspire from your being crazy. Thank you. thinkHOPE, Mark Horrocks president/co-founder Habitat for Hope Tim,

Again, hate it that you didn't finish but I know you'll get it the next time. I was laughing through parts of your story and wincing at others. Hey, to be lapped by Hal, Ian & Karl well, that would be an honor .. :-) Heal up, get those feet toughened up and and look forward to seeing you posting some miles. As for the hoodie, wear it with pride dude! You toed the line and took off on a journey not may people are wiling to make! Tim, great write up.

Suffered my first DNF ever at Bandera 100K last month. I know exactly how you feel. Gave my daughter the jacket. But now I have a shiny new 100 mile jacket that I can wear. You'll come back better than ever. Read an article recently that pointed to poor hydration as a cause for blisters. Just a thought. Good luck in the future and congratulations on an amazing journey.
