Ten years ago I was a pack-and-a-half-a-day smoker who was 100 pounds overweight.
Today I signed up for my first ultra-marathon.
It's on the shorter end of ultras, so it's about as good an entry point as any. And it's not too far away.
I'm excited and nervous, but I'm sure (pretty sure) that I'll survive.
And if I do, I'll be shooting for the Antelope Canyon 50 Miler next year.
