Why?
...because anyone can run an ultramarathon. You do not need to be crazy (although it helps!) or a genetic anomaly.
If you can run a 5k, you can run a half marathon. If you can run a half marathon, you can run a marathon. And if you can run a marathon, you can run an ultramarathon.
This is my journey as I start from scratch following an injury with a couch to 5k training program up through a 100 mile race.

Endurance Expo
I just returned from volunteering in the Ink n Burn booth at the Endurance LIVE expo at the San Diego Convention Center. While I had no knowledge of the event prior to a few days ago, it was an enjoyable event. There were many big name as well as up and coming companies there. Also, there were clinics and chances to rub elbows with the pros.
A few of my favorites were there to include infinit and nuun. Granted there were quite a few triathlon booths that I glossed over. Then there were the new discoveries. Clif Bar now has a delicious granola bar. Also adventure racing sounds like a whole lot of fun.
There were also several nutrition related booth which got me to thinking that sports nutrition should be added to the list of potential careers. It's something I'm passionate about...mmmm, food.
What all this really made me realize though, was that it is great finding a group of people just as crazy as you are so that you fit right in as "normal".
