Dear Friends and Family,
As many of you know I had an awesome first half of the year in 2014. I completed 3 100 milers which included my distance PR, 100 mile PR, and a podium finish.
As many of you know I had an awesome first half of the year in 2014. I completed 3 100 milers which included my distance PR, 100 mile PR, and a podium finish.
However, the second half of the year was quite
unsuccessful. I ran 2 races (which I ran 50-70 fast miles a week to
train for) and DNFed them both. In the first race (the CYA 100) I passed
a kidney stone at mile 12 and went to the hospital.
In the 2nd race
(Silverton 72 hour) I had a virus which made me throw up several times
and basically ruined my race. The virus hung on for too long and took away all my energy and motivation.
Ever since DNFing those races which I
trained so hard for, I was unmotivated and wasn't running.
As of a few weeks ago, I’ve decided to start running again. I'm going to take it slow by
only doing around 20-30 miles a week and then gradually build up to my
previous strength. To motivate myself I have started looking at two 100
milers that will take place in April and May.
Also since I haven’t
been running recently I have been neglecting my Facebook page (which I
apologize for) and I will be returning to that and I will try to be as
active as possible.
I have been chosen as an InkNBurn and Solemates Ultrarunning Ambassador. I will work hard to represent them well in 2015.
