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.

Starting Again

So I decided to hell with it, I'm going to try running again. This morning, I woke up early despite my alarm not going off. I pulled myself out of bed, thanks in part to my very full bladder, and off I went. Despite the time of day, it was still a bit warm out, although in general, it is cooling down slightly.

My legs felt as though they had never run prior to today, and I gave up after a mile with a side cramp doubling me over and nausea. Valiant attempt, but alas, fail. At least my knee didn't cause the premature walking.

Maybe it was my breakfast and/or the heat. Or maybe my body was warning me to start slow. In any case, I will try again. And hopefully, next week's ortho appointment will bring good news...
