Hi all!! So I finished my first 100 mile trail race a couple of weeks ago. This was huge for me as I've lost over 130 lbs to reach this point. Running 100 miles has been my ultimate goal in this entire process back to health. It was a very surreal and amazing experience. Here's the link to my race report.

    Wow is really all I can say! Inspiring! My longest race was 10 miles and I thought I was going to die! I can't even imagine what 100 would be like!!

    Thank you all. @nathalier71 , every distance hurts so to me every distance is a huge accomplishment. Congrats on your 10 miler. This one was special to me in a lot of ways. More symbolic than anything.

    Your writing style is really engaging - made me feel like I was out on the trail with you.

    Fair play mate - 100k trail run = EPIC accomplishment!!

    (rather you than me though!)
