New blog, new goals, new experiences!

This blog is where I am going to publish my experience training and participating in my first ultra marathon. The 50-mile running race takes place May 9, 2009 in the Cleveland National Forest about an hour east of San Diego.

In triathlon, my weakness has always been running. I would constantly get frustrated having a solid swim and bike only to be past on the run. But out of that frustration grew a passion for running. Running is by far my favorite of the three sports now. As such, it is where I have been focusing the majority of my training.

So enjoy the blog. Ask questions and leave comments if you like.
