I felt ill-prepared and undertrained for my ...OMG. I felt ill-prepared and undertrained for my measly 5k this weekend. You are amazing. People die doing this stuff! <br /><br />Also, freaking love the Honey Stingers.

I even remarked to a friend I was spending the weekend with that, "My friend in AZ is doing her first 50k today! She's the main reason I've begun pursuing running more." to which the response was, "Wow. That's crazy! 50k?!" and I just grinned and nodded. Then, when I saw your update later, I remarked, "Oh no! She DNF'd at 27 miles." "Isn't that basically the whole thing?" *quick math* "Yeah, it is. Wow. Must have been an insane run. How awesome though...."<br /><br />So you were definitely on my mind this weekend. =)<br /><br />I understand your mental game post-race as my head works much the same way. I think you've got a good plan going forward, lay low and let your mind do its thing without antagonizing it with much else for a bit - or antagonizing your poor IT band! YIKES. Be easy, lady!<br /><br />Congrats on such an oustanding achievement on such a gnarly course. Finish or no, it's definitely something to be proud of. Loved being able to follow along the journey and hear about how it went. I got a particular giggle about the hashers as they sound just like the ski hashers I know. Your retort about wasting good whisky was an oustanding one, as well. =)<br /><br />I wish you a speedy IT band recovery and encourage you on in your stubbornness to pursue more awesome as time passes. Congrats again on running your farthest yet over some truly rough terrain!!Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.com
