My name is Joshua
Pauley and I am proud to announce my partnership with Trail Racing Over Texas
(TROT). Every great story begins with
someone taking a chance and believing in someone else and that is what we have
here.
I met Rob Goyen in
February at my very first trail race. I think we had crossed paths via Facebook
prior to the race and I knew to keep an eye out for him. As I was on my final
10 mile loop I ran through an aid station and there was a guy cheering me on –
Rob Goyen. I stopped momentarily to shake his hand and introduce myself and he
told me to get on my way. Since then we have had countless conversations about
dreams and plans, him and his Ultra Sports Live crew have visited and broken
bread with Mary and I, and now he has asked me to join his team and support his
dream as well.
A partnership with TROT
means a couple of different things to me. It means that I get the pleasure of
representing a team which is something greater than myself. And it also means
that maybe my goals are a little bit more attainable and realistic. And lastly
but probably the most important a sponsorship by TROT means that someone
believes in me. With just over a month until JFK 50 this is great timing. You

put on at: http://www.brazosbend100.com/.
I have been incredibly
blessed and I aim to make the most of it and not waste the gifts that I have
been given.
“I do not yet know what I am capable of. But if I am ever going to
explore the limits of my own capabilities then I must be uncomfortable
and desperate. Running facilitates discomfort and desperateness – and
that is why I love to run. For the pursuit of limits and discomfort.”
