Freezing Cold, Not Enough Sleep, Sunburn, and One of the Best Days Ever: Promise Land 50K

Friday night and Saturday I volunteered at the Promise Land 50K. Promise Land is part of the Lynchburg Ultra Series and is organized by my running professor and mentor David Horton (who set the speed record on the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. He’s one of my most favorite people ever). For his class, we were required to help with a race, and I couldn’t think of a better race than one of his.
