One time, I paid money to run a 30k in the desert. What a vibe.
The scenery was gorgeous, the festival was energetic, crowd and staff were so supportive.
I really didn’t eat much because no matter how hard I try to consume calories on course, I just couldn’t swallow it. I got instantly nauseous. I ended up chewing the food and then spitting it out in hopes I would get at least a little nutrition down. Tried to even diluted a bit with the water I was carrying. Just mainly focused on drinking lot of water.
With my stomach so upset, I had to stop for 3 bathroom breaks. It’s not always easy pushing your body to the next level with Crohn’s Disease. I was cruising well with a 9:30 mile pace and the stops ended up giving an average of 11:00 mile pace.
Scroll to the last video of me pump limping because my knees were swollen and back was tight. 😅
Can’t wait to do it again 🤷🏼♀️🙃
Congrats to everyone that ran the 100miler! Maybe one day if I can figure out my stomach.
