Many thanks to Running Wild and everyone who has supported my journey! The book signing was a great event and it was so great seeing all my friends (old and new), my family and everyone else! For anyone who missed it and wants to listen to my speech, I have included a video of it here.
I finished my 100th marathon today within 10 years since my first. It was awesome and great joining the Running Wild party bus to pace the 4:30 marathon pace. So glad that everyone in the marathon training group finished. Surprised and so happy to see everyone from previous pacing that came and supported my 100th marathon today.
Finished Long Haul 100 with a Sub 24 hour finishing time. This was my personal best for a 100 miler and I got the special green belt buckle since I completed the 100 miler in less than 24 hours. The route was flat but miserable due to the storms that hit the days leading up to the race which made a large amount of the route to be extremely muddy and wet.
My MRI came back with good results. I took a picture of the comparison since one year ago. To celebrate, I started a hiking a new trailhead nearby and realized it connects to the Ride Rail trail out to Alachua Sinkhole so I decided to run out that way.
Great trails that were well maintained. We saw two different groups of hogs and friendly deer. The hogs are really tearing up the trail. I want a bacon biscuit now.
I needed to get some distance in so I ran the Seafood 50k instead of just doing the Seafood 5k. Pensacola Runners Association always put on great post-race parties with food and drinks.
