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.

PNG vs the Clerk
So on the way home from today's run, I decided to pick up a few groceries. I zipped around efficiently grabbing what I needed. The checkout clerk, in a tone that said I-don't-really-want-to-be-here-but-I-have-to-pretend-that-I-care, asked what sport Team Ink N Burn supports. I was wearing one of my Team Ink N Burn shirts, which are the most amazing technical shirts if I must say.
"Ultramarathons and such endurance feats."
"Oh... marathons. I keep thinking I should start running because runners are in such great shape, but I hate running."
I stopped myself from sighing out loud and decided not to explain that I was not talking about marathons because of the sheer apathy in his voice. I mentioned something instead about running on trails being more fun, and then I was on my way.
