Tonight much of the country changes their clocks and people do all manner of freaking out. Meanwhile, here in Arizona we just keep on keeping on. I love this place!
At mile 70, Whitney Mickelsen and Emily Hanlon share a hot chocolate on the ledge of Kroger's Canteen. Both are doing awesome and really enjoying themselves! +5h38 elapsed. #HR100
@runcandice@MelissaKahn7 This is when living at 9000ft in the mountains comes in handy. “Sorry we got disconnected” “must have lost the starlink connection” 😬
@MelissaKahn7 Haha! Well here's how I see it: if they are one of those talkers who doesn't respect your time, they are the ones being rude so don't worry about setting a boundary on having to end the call. Harder than it sounds of course!
We saw this runner going back and forth at the Denver airport, so I stopped to chat with her. She’s a college runner at UC Santa Cruz. Hope I gave her some inspiration to try Ultrarunning/Trailrunning 🙌!
When we are able to look past our egos and not take someone else’s experience as a direct insult, then and only then will we be able to make the very necessary changes in our sport. Bullying others for not agreeing with the leaders in our community, is not encouraging growth.
@BillyYang there is a TON of work that needs to be done until it is fully inclusion in MUT. Lots of system issues. Since you're a WSER board member, I am concerned that your statement signals that we are done, no work is needed for inclusion, which is false.
The sport of trail and ultra running is the most inclusive, beautiful community I've had the pleasure of being a part of. We don't give a shit about your income, race, gender, etc - just that you work, sweat and cover the same miles in an equitable way.
We're working on an article with ultrarunning mom's - would love to hear from a single parent for added perspective! If this is you or someone you know, reach out corrine@freetrail.com
