I finally finished the Yeti 50 mile challenge, part of the Yeti ultra 24-hour challenge series. For this one, I ran 8.35 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours.  Even if I have done ultras and 50 mile races before, it was still daunting, but I did it.  3 of the runs were on the treadmill because they were in the middle of the night.  My pace started getting slower on the later runs.  But it got done, just in time before the challenge ended, which was October 31, on Halloween night.

Back in April, when this pandemic started, I completed the Yeti 24 hour challenge, where we ran 5 miles every 4 hours, for 24 hours.  It was a great way to keep up with ultra running, and testing my abilities to run-rest-eat-sleep and repeat.  When I saw this next challenge, I signed up because I wanted to continue with my training, and challenges keep me going.   We have been busy – well me with work, and the family with life activities, and packing then moving from CA to TX – so I did not get to complete this challenge until October.
