Yesterday, I registered for my next big goal: the Vermont 50. It takes place the end of September, in the mountains of Vermont. It should be gorgeous then - perfect running weather for me, and peak Fall colors.
This will be my second 50 mile race. It's got just over half the elevation gain of the Bear Mountain 50M, but the cutoff is 12 hours, 2 hours shorter. Even though it's not as steep a course, it's likely to be plenty challenging for me. Two hours is a lot to cut off.
But no matter, it will be fun.
And, best of all, the race supports a great cause: Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sport. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the outdoors and feel empowered by challenging themselves in new and different ways - ways they may have thought were impossible for them. And I love that by doing something that I enjoy, I am doing a small part to help someone achieve a dream.
So, I'm beginning to log in some longer runs again, racking up the miles and the hills...but that's all part of the fun.

Fabulous. Run, Julie, run. Oh and by the way am really enjoying the daily tips which are mailed to me from your website. Short and punchy enough to offer a moment's reflection, even in a busy day.
