I love that Wes and Mike ran with you the rest of the way. I can totally picture Wes whooping and yelling his way down the mountain. Amazing job persevering, even when you wanted to quit.

Selah is so adorable and it makes me really happy to see her growing into such a beautiful girl. <br /><br />Awesome marathon PR! Always a good idea to call target races training runs. <br /><br />Your description of the crisis you had a mile 80 was just so vivid and made me really wonder whether or not I'll ever do a 100. I like the way you said your training was years in the making, by the way. Such a true statement. THINK of how many years we run before we can take on an ultra. Very uderappreciated.<br /><br />Anyway, the picture of you sleeping is on my list of the 10 best running pictures of the year. Talk about a "normal" woman turned trail bum who REALLY needed some sleep.<br /><br />Congrats! You did it!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660380153635526566.post-75539232779301638302010-07-22T14:38:32.679-06:002010-07-22T14:38:32.679-06:00Oh Joy!

I love the perseverance, and the crazy, awesome, enthusiastic determination of your crew. totally inspiring! I see people say this a lot, but it really is true - it is so much harder to run a 100 when things don't go well rather than when it's al smooth and you go fast. But this is so much more rewarding. We get so much out of overcoming the challenges you overcame. You should be so proud of yourself! I am totally inspired. And next time you're in Tahoe, drop me an email and let's go running, or climbing.

(All I did was google Tahoe 100 and recognized your photos) I saw you at DP AS and tried my best to get your feet in shape for the last 20 miles. It was my first time assisting at an ultra and am trying to determine what works/does not for long distance runners in the dirt. So if you don't mind shoot me an email (uracard at gmail dot com) and please be brutally honest on what worked/did not work. Did the tape I put on fall off, make your pain worse/better etc. <br />Thanks for any feed back you can give<br />Congrats on the finish!!

This is what all of us whould have in life! And this is why you are who you are, and why I kept sneaking into your blog from time to time. This exuberance for life is what your family shares. I want to be adopted:) Anyhow, all the lessons learnt are certainly absolutely right, and most likley you'll forget one or few of them, or will need another dozen:) It don't matter - you rock!

This year, the race Dr. announced he had removed all the ibuprofen from the AS first aid kits because of considerable evidence of it contributing to renal failure. Just thought you might be interested - since ibuprofen was one of the items you listed as being in your drop bag. The weigh in system used at the TRT 100 seems like a great way to monitor. Again congratulations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660380153635526566.post-34372390961079256232010-07-20T20:53:57.888-06:002010-07-20T20:53:57.888-06:00Kate-

I hope this can be an inspiration and give you some belief that you can complete your goals. I suppose that is the whole reason for doing things like this.<br /><br />Micheline-<br />I intended to write about you TC volunteers because you were absolutely incredible. I have never seen aid stations where people just surrounded me with help and encouragement as soon as I walked in.

I just bawled my way through your story - you're AMAZING. <br /><br />In the past year I've started doing some walking events - 2 half marathons, and my next challenge is to run an 11km in October, and then the Oxfam 100km walk in April next year. This is exactly what I needed to read, I am so excited to do it. Going to be reading over this post many times!!<br /><br />Well done you! What an incredible achievement and all that lovely support!
