Bigfoot Hunting??? Well, not really Bigfoot hunting on a literal level. Bigfoot represents our interest in the unknown, to seek knowledge, to enjoy the mysterious and peel back it’s layers. To me it’s a metaphor for pushing myself to learn and experience new things. Running on a new trail in the woods; challenging myself with a new race distance/elevation gain/trail conditions; trying something completely new in the lab; or learning a topic I know nothing about. Push yourself physically and mentally, and never stop growing as a person. And who knows, maybe you’ll find Bigfoot.
