5 weeks to go to my first ultra and I've already signed up for my next one. The Umstead 100 (I'm only running the 50 Miles/81km though😉). After signing up I thought to myself, "what was I thinking", but then I looked back at my running to see how far I've come.  When I started running in 2016 every running goal I had was scary, but I achieved every single one. My first 5k on a test socket. I was told not to race on a test socket but I did it anyway and guess what, the socket survived. My first half marathon  for which I didn't train at all and my longest run up until that point was a 10k. A year after my first half I ran my first Marathon. I found the Marathon training brutal on my stump and really doubted whether I would cross that finish line and guess what? I did😊. A year after running my first marathon I will be taking on my biggest challenge, my first ultra a 40 miler/64km trail race. Three months ago I took on the challenge of trail running, something a lot of people thought would be impossible to do on my blade, but guess what I'm loving it and my blade hasn't broken and I've not face planted (yet). So I know I will cross that 40 miler finish line in five weeks time and then next year I plan to crush my 50 miler/81km😊 #nevergiveup #goals #dontquit #trailrunner #ultratraining #whstrong #GarminAmbassador #BeatYesterday #thursdaymotivation #strongwomen
