Rebecca Runs Trails

When you use running to cope with depression/anxiety making yourself go run when you don't want to can be the key to success on and off the trail. I overcame and I learned a lot this week.

I spent the week not running much and questioning (again) why I spend so much time and money running. Then, at the Blood, Sweat, and Beers Trail race I captained an aid station, I danced, and I was reminded why running is so very, very necessary.

I have never eaten and slept so much in my life!  What is the week after your first 100 mile attempt like?  Listen, and find out!

My longest run before my first 100 mile attempt was a 50k so going in I knew it was going to be a challenge.  I quit after 20 hours at mile 82.5 but I am super proud of myself.  I had the best experience running 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 miles for the first time and I can't wait to do it again.  Listen to how it all went down!
