Now, #59 Done!

 I decided just about 2 weeks after Oracle Rumble to do another Ultra on my own just only 30 minutes from my home.  I mean, what the heck, I feel good, had adequate rest, and still had that need to do another one!  It turned out to be a really nice run.  I took my time, it was really an easy layout for me at the Tortolita Reserve just west of us in the Tucson area.  I ran in the beautiful Saguaros all day on a fabulous nice and sandy but firm trail.  I did three loops of 9.5 miles and called it good for my latest ultra!

I listened to some great music and pod casts most of the day and ran into some really nice people who actually got off their bikes and talked with me for a short bit.   One lady even called me "a bad ass" - yeah!  I'll take that!

I did the run in 7 hours 18 minutes and at about 4:30 that day I was in the hot tub soaking my aching legs and left knee.  The knee starting hurting around 15 miles in, but I just "ran when I could, walked and hiked when I should".  That's now my standard for running ultras!

Here's some pictures of the great bluebird day!  Thanks for the support!
