Hey all! Wow, what a great day in Flagstaff to run the Flagstaff to Grand 55K Ultra for the 4th time in a row! On Saturday, September 17, I finished 34 miles on primarily the Arizona Trail in 8 hours and 22 minutes. A perfect day to run! I'm very blessed to be able to do these crazy runs! I'm just so glad I'm doing it for the right cause!
A spectacular day all around with Lori and Sunny greeting me at the 21 mile aid station and at the end! I talked with quite a few people in the first half of the run - had a brief calf seizure around 10 miles but managed to work through it. I brought my old iPod with me and from 21 miles to almost around the end, I listened to some great music I hadn't heard for a LONG while! That was just super!
This year brought no rain so the last 5 miles this year was a lot easier than last year! I was so thankful for that! I felt pretty good the last 5 miles too and managed to pass at least 5-6 people! It was actually one of my best times in this race!
The beer afterward and a great 34th Anniversary meal Lori and I had that night was really special too. Wow, what a day! I slept like a baby! Thanks everyone again for the support!
