NUMBER ONE YURT-DWELLING ULTRARUNNER IN MISSOULA

Check out this short film by Joel Wolpert featuring ultrarunner Mike Foote. Mike lives in a yurt out in Missoula, MT. His property butts up against the Rattlesnake Wilderness which provides ample trails for training. Mike grew up in Ohio but found his place in the mountains. He works at the Runners Edge in Missoula and coaches for the Hellgate High School Cross Country Team.

OLD SAYING IN SURVIVAL

If you don't have to stand up, sit down.

If you don't have to sit down, lie down.

If you don't have to be awake, sleep.

I cannot recall where I heard this saying but a similar version can be found in Murphy's Laws of Combat:  "Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep."
