Stagecoach 55K (#64 Ultra) now done!

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!
