I made into the Ultrarunning Magazine!
The Ultrarunning Magazine came in the mail. Naturally, since I am in the magazine, I did a ridiculously goofy photo shoot with it!! HA HA!! 😂🤦♀️
Yes, I have quite a goofy personality.
Sharing the background information about the Ultrarunning Magazine and my running challenges again! ⬇️⬇️
So, I am in the Ultrarunning Magazine, the online and paper edition!! 😁😍 Nice surprise! Back in April, during the Stay at Home Order of the pandemic, I ran the Aravaipa Strong Virtual Race, 100 mile run. I ran the entire 100 miles inside my house, a tiny 0.02 mile loops in my living room and upstairs! My crazy indoor 100 mile run actually won an award for this race, Most Creative Indoor Race. I had the opportunity to speak on their YouTube awards show too. It was awesome. A recent article was written about the Aravaipa Strong Virtual Race, and to my surprise, I am in the article. Way cool!!! 🤩🤩
The Aravaipa Strong Virtual Race, 100 mile run was one of six that I completed during the Stay at Home Order of the pandemic!! Yes, you read that right. Ha!! I kept busy with some insane running challenges. I made a running challenge for each week of the Stay at Home Order. It ended up being 12 weeks of running challenges, and I racked up the mileage! I also did an insane mileage challenge in July and created my own virtual race across Michigan, 945 miles. I was inspired by another ultra runner, James Leitner, who ran 900 miles in July!!! 😁
ALSO... I had the opportunity to share my running story multiple times on the news and in online running magazines, which was super cool! It was wonderful. I was on TV, in the local Fox17 news twice, Aravaipa Strong Virtual Race YouTube show, Running 4 Soles Podcast, Canadian Running Magazine, Insider news, Run Society Magazine in Asia, and now the Ultrarunning Magazine!! 8 times in the news/media all over the world!!!! Wow! SUPER PROUD!!! 🤩
