I am off tonight for Australia but before I left I decide to accomplish a new goal - completing a 50-mile Ultramarathon. On Saturday, January 12th, I did it!!! I went to Avalon on Cataline Island and competed in the 50-mile Benefit Run. Everyone who knew about it thought I was crazy - and I probably am - since I have to get on a plane for 18 hours tonight, but it was so worth it. The course was the best I have ever been on. The people there were awesome and I met so many new people and had a great time.
The legs are a little sore today but I think I am still on a high from completing this goal. I don't know if I will ever do another 50-mile race, but I do not regret doing this one - now let's see what I say in a day or two when the hurt sets in after sitting on the plane! :)
Well, that's it for now...off to LAX! Will write more once I am "Down Under".
P.S. I will add photos from the race once I figure out how to put them on the blog site...

Malibu, your my 'rock-star' Ultra running partner. I love the matching beer mugs seeing as we both got 3rd place in our age groups :)

Great news on the 5o miler now use those legs to see Australia! Don't forget to learn how to scuba dive, it would be an awesome place to learn.
