...it is 11:53pm and somewhere in the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming my husband is traipsing through the forest, hopefully at about mile 55 of a 100 mile race. I always dread the night time while I am at home needing to be sleeping and he is far, far away running, in the dark, alone. I worry about him. And my worry-wart brain starts to think of horrible things that could happen to him.
He doesn't EVER worry about these kinds of things because he knows I worry enough for both of us. I worry about him falling down a mountain side and no one being able to find him. I worry about him twisting his ankle and just trying to push through the miles [he did this last year at Cascade Crest!] I even worry about a wild animal being caught off guard while he is running and going on the attack. It's silly, I know, but I can't help it. I inherited my mother's and my grandmother's worry-wart nature. [thanks Mom!]
So tonight, this post is just kind of ridiculous, but it's what I'm thinking about...right now.
Good luck Brandon, we love you! and Be Careful!

Did you make him get a GPS unit or something, so if he did get lost, you'd be able to have his position? Like in The Incredibles and ElastaGirl gives Mr.Incredible away....
Hope you get at least a little rest.
That is scary. I bet he'll be just fine though. :))
I would be doing the same thing...let us know when he's done! I'm sure he'll be great!
I would have the exact same worries. Especially the wild animals...I'm just crazy, but whenever Spencer goes fly fishing on his own, I always fear that I'm going to get a call from the National Forest Service telling me that he was attacked by a Mountain Lion, or a Bear.
And you're not ridiculous, because clearly, you're not alone in your worries.
That comment is really from me and not Jeff. Although I am sure he would concur, he probably wouldn't do so with a smiley face and familiarity that I did.
You are stop # 8 on my damage control list. :)
I've never really thought about all that, but you're right...this just proves that Brandon is a little more crazy than I initally thought. :)
He is lucky that you love him enough to worry! :-)
