The 10 mile Black Butte Out and Back soundtrack

Welp, that's that. I felt like garbage in the last ten miles leading up to the first resupply at mile 100 of The Big Lonely and, after about ten minutes of trying to push on, realized it wasn't in the cards.

Almost go time! 2023 edition of the 350 Big Lonely coming in hot! You follow along at this link:

Whaaaa?!!! Two back to back IG posts in one day? Yes, social media, it's necessary because when I'm 80 years old and look back on the photo album that is my IG profile, I want to remember all the ways my partner Trish has invested her time and energy into our relationship and, in this particular memory timestamp, my athletic pursuits. I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a dreamer sometimes, but Trish walks alongside my interminable 'next goal' mindset with a balance of pragmatism and encouragement.

I did it! My first 100 mile trail run is in the books. Of all 5 events in the Lead Challenge this summer, this race will easily go down as the most memorable experience of them all. I can see why this sport has a cult following: I'm already thinking about ways I could shave time and better prepare for future 100 mile runs.
