		<title>Pain mediation: going for the record</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’m sick of sweating on myself in my basement—using football, sports talk TV or even Friends reruns to distract me from the slowly moving clock. Winter training is beneficial, but boring. With my three-wheeler on a trainer, essentially turning it into a stationary arm-pedal bike, I ride at a higher cadence than climbing mountains. A [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.&#8221;— Aristotle
 
 
 
“I’m going to beat it. I know I am.” I’m not sure if those were Kate’s exact words, but the power and conviction are accurate. In her resolve to achieve the impossible, I heard myself. I heard myself [...]]]></description>

		<title>Use Your Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My mental development is that of a five-year-old. It’s a harsh realization, but sometimes when I see children squabble I think that I’m not all that much different, I just hide it a little better.

 
We all know the scenario: One child steals a toy from another, a fight ensues, a parent removes the obviously offending [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fast Enough to Look Around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
From the beginning, I’ve said that I want to keep up. Speed. Speed. Speed. During our June scouting trip it took me forever to reach camp. Each day, I slowed more and more on the rocky slopes of Kilimanjaro. If I can’t reach camp, then I can’t make the summit. With our brand new rig, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it a race?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We all know that Roger Bannister first broke the four-minute, but most of us don’t know the others who tried. Australian John Landy and American Wes Santee like Bannister searched for the “perfect race” when training, weather, track surface, and competition combined for “the perfect mile.” Each, by virtue of training and talent stood on [...]]]></description>

		<title>No seven and goosefeathers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The top. The summit. The cone. All my preparation focused on the top. The rest of the mountain did not seem to exist. It was all the steep, soft almost 4000 final feet. I envisioned my wheels sinking to a halt in the volcanic ash, my lungs screaming for oxygen. In reality, my wheels didn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Jambo&#8230;jambo&#8221; It is chant and chorus&#8211;Hakuna Matata&#8211;the song that The Lion King made famous. The porters, guides cooks, etc. surround me. I recognize Freddy, Solomon, Seki and a few others, but most&#8211;especially the ones leading the song, I haven&#8217;t seen before. There are 72 paid staff and most I haven&#8217;t even seen. They are the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enlightenment of Failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not going to make it the top. That’s a harsh realization even though this is a scouting mission. I’m supposed to just see the mountain to just prepare for the ultimate trip in March, but I be lying if I said that I didn’t harbor this belief that I might just make it now. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Off to Africa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We’re off to Tanzania tomorrow for a three-week scouting trip. We’ll spend eight days on the mountain and another ten visiting children’s hospitals, rehab centers and other places looking for wheelchair donation prospects. If possible, we’d like to create a bond with the Tanzanian people.
 
This whole project is coming together. When I first started to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letting Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have talked about letting go in a ski racing context here. It is the essence of the performance—the way to access the subconscious—that part of us that is genius, but it’s so difficult. In the start of a ski race, I tried to convince myself that I’d made a mistake before breaking the timing [...]]]></description>
