Metal Monday: Recap of Heartland 50k

A year ago I became an ultramarathoner. The 50k ended up being a little over 31 miles. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done. The first half was pleasant and gorgeous and then we turned around (it was an out and back) and met 40 mph winds for 16 miles. It was so brutal. But I made it! With the help of my three best friends. It’s a day I will never forget. I had PTSD for months after-if it was too windy, I would panic. But I can say I’m over that now!  And after a year of running A LOT, I’m really enjoying running again.
