First Year of Ultra Running

It was one year ago that I completed my first ultramarathon, the Goblin Valley 50k, finishing with a really bad IT band problem. Since then, I completed my first 50 miler, a second marathon, a second 50 miler, my first 100k and my first 100 miler. All told, in the last 11 months, I logged over 1500 miles of running.

Looking back, it was a great year. I had several injuries and worries throughout the year, but I ultimately achieved what I set out to do and I completed every race. I meet lots of good people along the way, many I hope to see again. I learned much about myself, my gear, and the sport. I look forward to doing several of the same races again, better prepared this time.

I've had four weeks of recovery and I'm ready to start training again.
