Well, onward to a new adventure... It started with the 50/50/50 Club (50 marathons in 50 states before age 50). Two friends, who have been friends since high school, were looking to achieve greatness and see the country while running - starting the year we turned 40. Naaaah....that is not entirely true. There was no deep thought going into the 50/50/50 club; we were just looking for an adventure and an excuse to hangout.
That was three and half years ago. Jump forward to 2013. We have successfully completed marathons in 13 states, spent a year on a roller derby team, and participated in a couple of obstacle course mud runs. I have attempted R3 twice (rim to rim to rim of the Grand Canyon). Patience started the 100 pushups challenge and together we have discovered through our adventure we are in charge of "RUNNING our LIFE"!
This year I will be conquering my first ultra marathon. Another adventure, another goal, another story to be able to share with my kids and grandkids. The truth be told, it's not about what the attempted feat is. What matters is each of us set a goal, breaking down the goal into achievable steps, and make the effort. I just happen to enjoy reaching goals that are on the extreme side.
What I hope you take away from my blog are these three things:
You are RUNNING your LIFE
Each of us is capable of more than what we think is possible
and a quote shared by a dear friend... "The only things in life you regret are the risks that you didn't take."
Now, let's get this adventure started!!
