THAT WAS AMAZING! When running greats like John P. and John C. asked if I was going to do this run it was no where in my realm of thinking. But when lady friend Diane V. asked, it was a totally different dynamic. I had to do lots of finagling to get the day off of work but I'm glad I did. Figured I would be good for a couple of loops and I could say I participated. For $15. why not. Plus I heard there is food. However Diane was gung ho on finishing this thing. By the 4th loop I knew unless I got hurt I could finish. Finish a 50K! I did leave Diane behind when she hurt her leg but she pinkie swore that I should go on. Then I crashed a birthday party, yes I crashed a running birthday party. They were very welcoming but those last two miles were meant to do solo. I just wanted to go on my own and finish.
After the run I got to meet some dailymile friends for the first time, old daily mile friends and new people. All in all a great experience. Defiantly inflated my ego a bit. I never would have believed I could really do this.
This run was all about the people! From the organizers and the volunteers. They really were dedicated and encouraging the whole way. Then the other runners. You had guys and girls hauling ass up a hill and telling us "good job".
It was great to see or run with: Marty Tracey G. Matt J. Brian, Krista, birthday girl (30), Krista 2, Rochelle many more.

I guess Ken and I have to find a new weekend running buddy. I still remember running with you a few weeks ago and you said this was "no way" gonna happen. If anyone can do an impromptu ultra, it's you. Congrats, Jess.

Thanks everyone it really was a great time. Brett and Ken you were the only things missing from the greatness of the run. Many folks asked about you both and commented on your abilities to do finish. Obviously the slower pace and the long rest stops helped!!! @Leah, LOL, you're coming next time! @Jess T. those Secret Santa gloves are still awesome. They kept my fingers warm and dry all morning :)

Way to go Jess! After seeing you finish so strong, I started to feel a little bad about my earlier advice to "walk more." For some reason, I thought not running longer than 10 miles since October might become an issue for you in the later miles. I obviously forgot who I was talking to. ;-) Congratulations Ultra Woman!
