He wrote a very cool post on facebook:
Sometimes after a difficult day with something you love the bonds of affection grow ever deeper.
The peaks of the Santa Ritas rest quietly the day after a stormy Old Pueblo 50 Mile Run. The night before, abandoning the run at mile 47 due to dangerous swift water stream crossings, I forfeited the finisher's belt buckle. Yet, I had already received the gifts of the day's images and experiences on the mountain.
And then he posted a beautiful picture of the mountain from this morning, with snow on the peak and a beautiful blue sky above.

azfiddle, that's lovely. Good for him. And glad all are safe.

What I said to him was- "You ran those extra miles on another day and besides- how many of those big honking buckles can you wear at one time anyway? You already have 4 and nothing to prove. Love you!"
