Toughness comes in so many forms. And there were many times in the race when I would see Chris Ellison and I would think to myself, “That's one tough dude!”
Chris Ellison is not a racer, per se, but he’s one of the 13 embedded camera operators of the show. The physical challenges were far from easy, but he managed to finish much of the race with us.

Growing up in a family that has always loved the outdoors, I have pretty much tried all kinds of tough stuff going from a marathon to a triathlon (think Ironman World Championships), and all the way to this whole new scary yet exciting stuff called adventure racing (watch The World’s Toughest Adventure).
Adventure racing is an amazing sport that you can do with your kids, your spouse, or your brother or sister. And when you’re able to accomplish something special like that as a family, it strengthens your bond.
Courtney Home was one of the racers on the World's Toughest Race, and she has moved through the race with just relentless positivity.

It was unexpected.
It was as if the me I knew to be me was a teapot that got knocked to the floor and shattered.

Wowah, Day 31 brings to a calendar close my Every Day in May adventure. It’s feels like a mini accomplishment to be here writing today staring June in the face a mere 40 minutes from now. Zero seconds have been spent thinking about June, but May 2020 will go down as one of my all time coolest months in my 40 years on Earth.

Yesterday got away from me! My darling daughter took off on a camping trip and my heart hurt for at least half the day. I worked, and things swirled and by the time the day wound down it was up in dust.

Today was a big work day and cut short my time to leisurely meander through my healthy actions. I still got them in, but it had to be more of a deliberate thing.

I got sucked into the SpaceX launch of Crew Dragon so hard core today! I got nothing productive done for most the day while I watched the internet. I am FASCINATED by SpaceX, and I actually remember them starting work on it at UCSD when I was there in 2001. There was a lab that had a SpaceX logo on the wall and I remember talking to a guy and he was telling me about commercial space travel and I was like “you are bananas!” And then today, one huge step closer! I’ll be watching Saturday and praying for good weather in Florida.

It was so hot today. Like Hawaii hot! The skies were deep blue and it was still out. Everyone in my house was back to work and school after a three day weekend, so I was back to my normal daily mom antics. My life really is quite simple these days. I’m quite impressed that overwhelm really isn’t something I have to deal with on a daily basis like I used to. Nice awareness on that today.
