First run in 2 months, didn't know how I would feel, really thought that maybe I should have just done 3, but decided to just go for it.
Felt very good afterwards, spent and tired but good. I think it has a lotto do with the trail being sand and being very forgiving.
Now its just a matter of keeping this going, and seeing where it goes.

And at the end of it all, this is what I had to look at.... just seems to put everything into perspective.
