I run for my health, I run for my family. I run for the wind in my face, the cold air in my lungs and the fiery burn in my legs. I run for friends and family that have passed and will never feel that sense of accomplishment again. I run for the paralyzed and amputees that would give up everything to use my legs for one last run. I run for the sick and weak who pray for enough strength to get out of bed everyday. I run because I never know when it will be my last.

Early AM trail run!

















We ran all of the Leif Erikson Trail in Forest Park and even added a little extra so Ian could get his 12 miler in before his first Half Marathon (Helvatia) in a few weeks. we started on the Thurman side and ran to the Germantown entrance. This made for a pretty hilly first 5 miles but the trail is wide and flat and is not technical at all. I would suggest some thicker soled shoes if you have them as there are plenty of rocks.

Post #1

I have decided to run an "Ultra" this year in October, I will be training for the "Autumn Leaves 50 Mile Ultra Marathon" NO that is not a typo and YES there are races longer than a marathon. Most of you who know me know I just started running last June but have really enjoyed challenging myself and I feel that the "Ultra" is the next challenge for me to be excited (nervously) about but excited none the less.  I also decided to create this blog as a type of electronic journal as I go about my training.

I will be documenting my journey via blog as I prepare for this challenge and also sharing people, books, quotes and anything I can find that inspires me. Feel free to be involved in anyway you find fit.
