biochembelle July 19, 2020

Continued from Setting the challenge. (50 Miles, Part 1) and Prepping for ‘race’ day. (50 Miles, Part 2). Fifty miles was a distance that I found a little scary. 50K had seemed achievable, just another 5 miles beyond a marathon. At my …

biochembelle July 12, 2020

Trail Report: Lake 22.

geneday May 20, 2020
