Ultra Man

"It's not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

We are so proud to call this man ours! In November, he embarked on his first solo journey of 105 miles. He completed this run with such amazing composure, balance, and control. We are in awe and forever inspired by his dedication, determination and drive to finish what he started. I was truly a pleasure to be a small part of this journey with him. He is our ultrarunner and we are so proud of him!

Getting ready to start! This run was a 52.5 mile out and back so it would be 52 miles later when we see him again! We had so much faith in him and knew he was ready to accomplish this goal. 

Seeing him at the half way point was great! We took him his favorite long run meal and got him ready to start the journey back! 

My big boy and I loved being a part of this accomplishment and I can't wait to be a part of the rest of his dreams too!

The finish! He completed this early the next morning, just shy of 26 hours and was still smiling! I will never know how he does it, but his passion and self discipline runs deep and is absolutely contagious. We will forever be amazed and humbled by our ultrarunners accomplishments. He completed his first hundred miler and we are extremely proud of him! He makes us better and we are grateful.
