If you ask my students, I am always writing, or living a moment that will become a part of a story. If you ask their parents, I am a teacher. If you ask my family, my name is mom.

The next story from Three Creeks, Montana is available today. The link to get your copy is in the comments. Ultra update: at 50 I had my first running dnf (did not finish) I did not eat (first poor choice) then I lost my salt tabs (bozo move #2) and I ran the first four miles like a bear in a nearby field wanted a teacher taco (it was not in the least bit interested) All of those rookie mistakes resulted in a poor running times. It took me 8 hours to get to 25 miles...that would have meant 16 plus hours to finish. I love running but.... you get the point. Thank you for your kind words of support. Thank you Megan, Randy, and Kim for being the inspiration that got to “the next checkpoint.” I also have to give a shoutout to Tyler and Vanessa Bucklin. They finished the 50. I still have 11 months of being 50. When it is safe, I’ll give it another go. One of the things I did correctly. I had the gear for all weather and running situations. Translation: no blisters or burns. There’s an adage we hear often. If you don’t like the Montana weather, give it an hour. Same Sunday drive as the previous picture 45 minutes later. In the running world they’re called my crew. I prefer to call them my dream warriors. These three would not allow me to accept defeat. Instead they had a plan to make the vision happen. It didn’t happen today, but I know in my heart of hearts it will, because they’ll help me fight through the obstacles. p.s. I am my biggest obstacle A Sunday drive view. I hope your weekend was full of beauty and warm memories 📝
