After looking back at the Part I entry I remembered that there was one important picture missing... This picture was taken the day I realized I wanted to be an ultra-runner. This was about 30 minutes after the start of the Javelina Jundred ultra near Phoenix in 2010. I had never ran more than a marathon before this day and I ended up getting nearly 50 miles and loved it. Here is the recap. The people were all amazing, the atmosphere was relaxed, and I had fun.
Here are a few more recent reasons why I run, and why I get up so early to do it....
So.....are you in for Javelina this year? I signed up to run it again. I agree with you, that race is a blast. I couldn't pass it up.
ReplyDeleteI am not signed up Cory, I would love to do that one but the travel costs would be too much. We have a bunch of good races within driving distance though. I would love to post your sunset picture from Javelina here if you wouldn't mind. A nice bookend to my sunrise, although I think your picture is much better!
