I came up in the lottery and will be running the Tahoe Rim Trail 50 miler in July! #trailrunning #trailandultra #ultrarunning #ultratrail

[ultragrandpa]

Last run of 2016. It caps nine months since I started running and includes dozens of new friends and adventures, 118 runs spanning 130 hours and covering 69,000 feet of elevation, three trail races, my first marathon and an Achilles injury that's kept me down the last few weeks. I also broke my 600 mile goal for the year. I'm looking forward to 50k and 50 mile races in 2017, on my way to 100 miles in 2018 and qualifying for Hardrock and Western States! . . #trailrunning #trailandultra #trainingforultra #running #runidaho #runwithstrava #fitafter50 #fastafter50 #2016recap
