If people are running 100 miles, why can't Ruthann?
Description
Following the loss of her mom, Ruthann was trying to figure herself out. Who exactly was she at her core? She decided the best way to do that would be to try something difficult and well beyond her wheelhouse. How about Arizona’s toughest marathon? A nature trail marathon through the woods and mountains outside of Prescott, Arizona.
Did she train? Not really. Did she look at the race map? No. Did she know what a javelina was and not to point her flashlight directly into its face? Also, no.
She wasn’t ready, it was very difficult, but she did it. Then she did it again and again, signing up for a series of races to challenge herself physically, mentally and spiritually.
In this installment of Tell Me a Story, Ruthann talks about the adventures, the people she met along the way and the lessons she learned as an underprepared, yet determined, marathoner.
