I think there are many things in life that are terrifying and amazing- running 100 miles is one of those for me and many others! Yeti 100 is taking place this weekend, and I'm wishing a great race for all those running, and especially Jonathan as he takes on his first 100! Enjoy the journey!

"Wild Oak is Wild Oak. If you have any questions, don't come." If you want to follow and support Dave (limited cell coverage, so probably spotty updates) as he takes on the unmarked, unsupported, 25+ mile loops with ~7k of gain per loop on The Wild Oak Trail, you can do so at TWOT100 on Twitter. He'll be starting tomorrow morning.
Dave is never one to back down from a challenge- as evidenced by this being his second year running this one!
Also, congratulations to Mark Cristy for his taking the state age group 30k record for 73 year olds last week at Whitestone! He ran it as a training run, and was still able to take well over an hour off the previous record. I love that he continues to push his limits!

After 5 weeks of having external pins in my hand from Hellgate and being unable to do anything that would make me "sweat" (Dr's orders!😆) due to risk of infection, I was unsure how this would go on only two weeks of running. It wasn't easy, but I am learning consistent training means there is a baseline fitness that sticks around. (And, I know it doesn't hurt that my last race was Hellgate- that's a stout fitness boost! 😄)
Congratulations are overdue for on her accomplishment of 50 miles in 12 hrs at this years Black Toe Run. Alondra is the first female to achieve this milestone!! 📷

Anyone that runs Ultras has heard a version of the saying, "Ultra's are 10% physical and 90% mental" and there is a lot of truth to that. In getting to work with Hunt as an athlete, I get to see his mental strength, both in his athletic endeavors as well as life in general. He is an encouragement to all around him. Tomorrow he takes on the Tunnel Hill 50 Miler, and I know he'll run a strong race- physically and mentally!
Also, thinking of all those that will be enjoying the fall weather at Norris Dam 50k tomorrow! Happy running!
