Here is where I began this blog on Oct. 27, 2005: http://justarunningfool.wordpress.com/2005/10/27/the-journey-begins/. My goal was to run in a marathon by the time I was 40.
Here is where I finished this blog on Sept. 29, 2007: http://justarunningfool.wordpress.com/2007/09/30/d-day-megatransect/. At the age of 38, I ran/walked in what was equal to a marathon, a 24.9-mile trail hike/race called the Bald Eagle Mountain Megatransect, with a total elevation gain of more than 5,000 feet across the near 25 miles. While 1.2 miles short of a marathon in distance, it was more than a marathon in body, mind and soul.
Now I am preparing for my second Megatransect, on Oct. 4, 2008, and have to started a blog to chronicle my journey toward this one — and trail running experiences beyond that too — at justatrailrunningfool.wordpress.com. Join me over there for the next part of my running journey.
