Another one Done! #52 - In the Books!

 Yes, another adventure ultra run was completed yesterday 9/15/20 in Prescott, AZ.  Run mostly on the Prescott Circle Trail around the city, I basically charted out a 32 mile section of the trail to complete it in a little over 8 hours.  I finished right at home too which is so nice to do and so convenient!  I was in the tub within minutes of finishing soaking and cleaning my salty and crusty body!  Lori and Sunny met me around half way (15 miles) and gave my much needed food and drink.  A couple band aids were applied on my hands because of a fall on the trail around the 14 mile mark.  Oh well, not the first time!

My route basically started out from one of the northern most sections of the Circle trail and end at home near the southern most section of the trail.  It got hot out there and I needed all the water I carried too.  I had to lay down for awhile in bed after the tub soaking too.  I guess it took more out of me this time since I only finished my other one not even 2 weeks before.

I so happy I got another chance at finishing another ultra for Alzheimer's!  I relish these times and I'm so happy that I'm able to do this.  Thank you God and Mom, Joan Susan Lyle!  Also, thanks to my dear wife, Lori, of course!

Here are some pictures!  Thanks for the support as always!

#51 Just Completed!

 On September 2, 2020 I decided to do another Ultra-Marathon in Prescott, AZ.  Since my 55K race in Flagstaff was cancelled because of Covid, I decided to do one on my own.  With a little over 8 hours, I finished another 50K I drummed up primarily on the Circle Trail in and around Prescott.  I picked a great day to do it - it got a little warm but I had plenty of fluids to keep me going.  Lori and our dog Sunny met me half way and provided me some well deserved drink and food to keep me going - so that was extremely appreciated!  I virtually had the trails to my own and saw very few people.  I guess I only gained around 3500 feet overall, but it sure felt like more!  I tripped and fell down once on the trail and my right calf seized up for awhile.  That hurt, but I got a good massage from Lori and she took care of it.  Thank God for Lori.  All in all, a great day and another $100.00 for Alzheimer's!

Thanks for the support everyone!
