He looks like a very fun guy. Know (really know) that he will be with you every step at WS100. I'm sure he's making his epic walk right now as I type this too. :) <BR/><BR/>Your post was a great (yet very small) way to celebrate his huge love of life and I'm sure it was hard to choose the right pictures and words to share his memory with us after such news...<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with you and of course his girlfriend.Luchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03128710170077723273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-35577680988887519762008-06-05T19:27:00.000-04:002008-06-05T19:27:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry, Jamie!! I had no idea that you knew Chris. This wasn't the first time that I've heard him likened to McCandless. I know you'll be thinking of him every step of the WS 100 - it's a lovely tribute to his spirit and yours!!Runner NYChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00483077724253340414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-41597601226618716512008-06-05T08:53:00.000-04:002008-06-05T08:53:00.000-04:00Jamie,<BR/>So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Our thoughts are with you, his family and friends. From your photos and words, it seemed like he must have been a wonderful person.

I've lost too many running friends over the years, including one to a drunk driver.<BR/><BR/>At times, when things are going poorly for me in an ultra, I often think of my deceased friends and remember that they can't run any more. This often reminds me how lucky I am to be alive and to be out there, even when it doesn't feel like fun.<BR/><BR/>In that way, I feel like I keep my departed friends "with me" and I honor their friendship.<BR/><BR/><BR/>DamonDamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-89204752364071602682008-06-03T07:24:00.000-04:002008-06-03T07:24:00.000-04:00This is terrible news, I'm so sorry.
