In my professional life, such as it is, I’ve caught one huge break. I’m not someone who’s made a titanic amount of money, and can spend like a drunken Trump donor.

Boulder trains for consistency. This is a town where effort is part of the landscape and training isn’t something you announce—it’s something you do. Progress here happens one step at a time, one mile at a time, one early morning at a time. Motivation…
