Badwater Ultramarathon

26.2 is long enough for me. And I am almost certain I will never do anything longer. But I still found this inspiring.

"You run Badwater because there's something in you that wants to get out there, in the middle of nowhere, and think about something. It's a way of freeing yourself, getting back to what I really believe people are supposed to be doing instead of relying so much on a bunch of material crap that only makes us weaker. We are built to run, to cover great distance, for survival sake."

Do you know what that means?? BOSTON!!! April 18th.

It was an emotional and painful ending. Crossing the finished line, I was so sure it was last year all over again.

Warning: some of these photos are not pretty.

Thanks for taking the pics Em! And thanks Scott, Emily, and Betty for cheering me on at the end.
