July 16 - almost time to go.......

Lisa Smith-Batchen and Sister Mary Lloyd 

My running coach just did 584 miles in Death Valley....yeah that's right 584 miles.....so whining about a 6, 10, 14, 20 , 28 or 30 mile training run is not so valid anymore. 

Congrats to Lisa Smith-Batchen who ran 584 miles in Death Valley in just 2 weeks. Yes that's over 40 miles a day with temperatures getting above 125. She is the first woman to complete a Badwater QUAD! All to bring clean water to those who need it. Congratulate her and support her at Badwater 4 Good Water.

Anyway - I have been following her on social media and her crew and it has been amazing and inspiring.  I am thinking about my little adventure coming up and it feels good. I am prepared. I only doubt how fast I am and I want to make the cut offs.......and I want to be able to handle the terrain.  

Smile and breathe and on step after another.....do my best and enjoy the views. That is my approach. 

Peace. Love. CrossFit. Life. Move Along.
