“You’re going to Kansas to run an ultra? But you live in Colorado? Why would you do that?” Mostly because I wanted to stack the odds in my favor. And lose 6 pounds in one day. Seriously, someone should write a diet book about that. I guess it would be … run/hike for 15 hours.…
Dude, why do you look so angry? I have heard this more frequently over the past 2 months. From the starting line of Run Rabbit Run 100 to people at work. I’ll just be standing there in my own little world and someone will come up to me and ask if I’m okay. What the…

64 miles in 17 hours I told about 5 people that I registered for this 100 mile run. It was really about me seeing if I had a distance problem or an altitude problem. Pushing through pain hasn’t been an issue for me. After all, I pushed myself to the ER in 2013. My goal…
