Congrats on a huge accomplishment! Just being able to see your own year-over-year improvement is great. And this article shows why this newsletter is a valuable resource to a runner of any level. While most of us won't be running ultras, we'll all reach a point in our training and running where "Make It Hurt" is a mantra that can come into play. Even though you are describing it in the context of your 50, things like that apply across the board!
My brother. So proud of you. What an accomplishment. I’m drinking beer in a pub in London as I type this. It’s like we both finished the race when you think about it
Congrats on a great race -- Incredible to read that you got your physical and mental training to the point where you were able to conquer both parts of the race. Enjoy the rest!
There is no measure for the amount of congrats that you deserve for this accomplishment. You did the work, you met the goal. I hope you're floating on it for a while, letting your body rest and hugging the sh*t out of your family. We're all so proud of you.

Thanks David. Sometimes I worry the things I do won't translate to a wider audience, but that is the goal every time out. Grateful.
A rich read coming from a rich experience. It must have been a joy writing this as well.
Thanks, Don. It was an interesting experience going back to those emotions, I'll say that. A bit like an out of body experience.

(But seriously amazing work by you)
Thank you, brother. Tell the photo of Colleen that we'll all celebrate together one day.

Thanks, Jake. When you put it like that, man, that's it right there. The rest is being enjoyed, I can guarantee that.
Congrats! I laughed out loud at the image of you booking it downhill yelling "Make it hurt" around a group of spectators.
It was wild, Chris. They were like, "Oh here comes a runner, yay runner, oh my god what's wrong with that man?"

Thanks Tracey. For everything.
