Foto Friday

With the Golden Gate Challenge happening next week I thought I’d share a photo of my first visit to Golden Gate National Park with you. In 1964 I went there the first time, not to run, not hike, but to ride some horses!

I was born a natural in the saddle…

    I love every part of this picture. You on the donkey, the woman on the left and the little boy, and the man at the head of the donkey, the background -- it's perfectly framed. How neat that you have this picture. Happy Friday to you!

    You are a natural in the saddle. So wouldn't about riding instead of running be more fun? :-)
    Good luck next week even if you decid to use your own two feet.

    Oh my goodness--too cute! I hope you have a fabulous time with the race. What a great experience. I think you might remember this one better than when you were there on the horse! ; )

    You were doing "recon" at a very young age - that is dedication ;-) Great photo Johann and enjoy your weekend!

    Hi Johann,

    I am sorry I am leaving a comment, I can't find your email. I am writing you in the hopes that you want to participate in an e-book we are writing about ultra runners.

    We want to tap into the collective craziness (we mean that as a compliment:-)) of this community to challenge and inspire other non-runners to make their own life an ever-greater creative expression of their own goals and dreams… without limits.

    Progress so far: We have currently contacted more than 450 ultra runners and received more than 70 answers.

    We would ask you to answer a question about your experience with ultra running. Please note that these questions are related to your mental state and require that you are able to explain quite specifically what is going on mentally when running.

    If you'd like to participate please shoot me an email at dreamit@juliossol.com.

    Thanks!

    All the best,
    Jannick
