I am proud to say that this weekend I completed my first ultra-marathon trail run. It was a 60 kilometer (37.2 mile) run conducted mostly in the dark. I was able to finish in an admirable, for me at least, 8 hour and 29 minute time span. I was really happy with my time. I would encourage anyone to train for and attempt something like this. It provided a real sense of accomplishment for me, and helped bolster the fact that my new low-fat vegetarian diet is really uplifting my health despite the naysayers.
