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. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I don't feel like I'm done yet. Here's the link to my race report.

Thank you @omma_to_3. I never thought my body would hold up for 30+ hrs of running either @68myra but there's something about running ultras that seems to actually be easier on the body than typical road runs. For me anyway0

I love it, I loved your blog! Way to Go!!0

Congrats! I'm set to run my first ultra trail next month ("only" 66 km though so less than half of your race) and let me admit I'm scared it sure helps to hear other people did run that and more and enjoyed the experience!0

This. I know that I will never, ever in my life here on this earth run for 100 miles. Not to be negative, just keeping it real with myself lol. Maybe MAYBE biking after lots of training and conditioning but running? Hell no.
You're truly amazing0 -
A story with poo! LOL!0

Haha thanks guys. @mamabirdboss the poo struggles are real out on the trails0
