SF 50mi ultra Q & A
| August 6, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
Some of these are real questions, some are questions I *wanted* to answer. if I missed something leave a question in the comments. Did your toenails fall off? Nope. Not even sore, not even discolored. I’ve never had a toenail tragedy and part of me feels like I’m missing out on a quintessential part of […] more
SF 50 Ultra Comic
| August 5, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
I did it! I ran a not-so-easy fifty mile ultramarathon and finished! Fortunately for *me* ( and rather unfortunately for the blog…) I had a good running day that happen to coincide with race day. I find in these longer races that unless things went very very wrong, nobody cares about a play by play […] more
I’m doing *what* on Saturday??????
| July 31, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
I’m not at all sure this is a good idea. Most of the time whenever I’m going to do something wild and adventurous, I’m a little scared, a little trepidacious – but underneath it all is a conviction that I really can do this if I just keep my head down and keep bull dozing […] more

Here I am 3 (4, 5…) days after the event and I don’t feel any more ready to compose a witty, hit-the-highlights story than I did the day afterwards. This dream has been over a year in the making and the month leading up to it was filled with such emotional and life changing events […] more

I wasn’t arriving at my next (equine) externship until Sunday….which meant I had an *entire* Saturday off!!!! What to do on an unexpected Saturday off? Let’s review the options. 1. Work on RnT essay. Nah……Now that I have a […] more
Diablo 50K comic – updated!
| April 20, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
(note that I updated the comic pages on 4/21. Found some more pictures!) Check back for more thoughts on my first ultramarathon! My original intention was to intersperse these comic images throughout my lessons learned post, but the reality is that I just don’t have enough time and mental stamina to edit and put everything […] more
Derby 50 mile 2014
| April 8, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
Getting there was interesting. I live in Central CA. I do not own chains for my truck and trailer because if it’s snowing over the pass (from CA to NV) I will stay home. I do own chains for my car because last year my mother found a set of Les Schwab chains in the […] more
