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.

Shift of Focus

My optimism levels elevated slightly after running, eating, and drinking beer with some fellow trail crazies. Granted it was a relatively tough 2.5 miles in the mountains of east county, but I loved the snow and the change of scenery.

I have decided that while I am running these short distances, now is the time to focus on nutritional expermentation. I feel as though I have said this already, but I'm serious this time, really... The first focus will be eating "cleaner". There will be more fruits and veggies and less processed foods. I have already reduced coffee intake to certain weekends and special occasions.

Cheers!
