She's like 25 years old. Cripes, I thought ultras were primarily for us old people who can't run fast.

Ultras are a good place to hide if you can't run fast.  You won't win one unless you can run fast though.

What a fun kid! Thanks for posting this.

Chiropractor: Do any of your other children do distance
running?
Dad: No, they dislike it. My son has run 40
miles.
Chiropractor: That counts as distance running.

I don't even understand ultrarunning but I'm subscribing to her blog.

 

I always use my watch timer in these events (even though finish time is start time) because I’m not good at clock math after 100 miles. But sometimes, time stops because most watches won’t time for a full 24 hours. My last watch stopped at 20, probably because somebody at the Timex factory decided to draw the line there. You can do fitness for 20 hours, but then I’m cutting you off. You’ve had enough. And if you don’t expect this to happen, then when time stops, you’ll think something is wrong with Earth’s gravity. Try bearing that onus after 20 hours of running: The apocalypse is happening, and nobody else seems aware.

 

She had me at "clock math".

Is it okay if after we say "I do," we jog down the aisle to keep my legs fresh and then you drive me to the airport so I can go fly to Poland where I can achieve my life-long goal of representing the United States by running in a paved circle for 24 hours?
