This is what fit looks like at 27 years old.  I am so proud to be a stepmom to this amazing man who makes running up and down mountains look doable. Admittedly, he’s a tad sweaty, but hey, wouldn’t you be?  Cory placed 30 out of 107 other runners, most of whom had done this type of thing before. Not too shabby for an Endurance Newbie. 

I still can’t quite wrap my head around running from seven in the morning until one in the afternoon.

We didn’t tell him that we were napping in the car while we waited at various check points. That would have been just cruel…

Besides we needed all our energy to clap as they went past the first aid stations.
