I Ran a 50k



A few weeks ago, I traveled to New River Gorge National Park to run in a 50-kilometer race. I had never run anywhere near this length, but the challenge seemed fun. Who wants to run a repetitive marathon on random roads when you can do it through a gorgeous forested gorge?

Did I make it? Did I hit “the wall?” Did my legs crumble? Am I crazy?

Spoiler alert: I at least escaped to run another day!
