The Javelina Jundred
I love the mountains, the trails, the desert, but at mile 70 of my first 100-mile race, I loved none of that. All I loved was my bed. I had been running for about 20 hours at this point. I had taken a conservative approach to my race and weathered the 100 degree heat ofContinue reading “The Javelina Jundred”

ButContinue reading “I ran over 50 miles: Squaw Peak 50 Recap”

Today is the official start of my training for St. George and my workout was to walk/run 5 miles… You may be wondering what happened since the last time you heard from me.
