| Introduction | I started running in 1984 and ran my first ultra in 1991. I wanted to run Badwater ever since I heard about Ben Jones cooling himself down with an ice-filled body bag. I achieved my longtime dream in July 2008 when I crossed the Badwater finish line in just over 47 hours. In 2011, I ran the race again, then returned on foot to Badwater, a round trip of 270 miles. My health, fitness, ability, and desire to run ultramarathons are a gift I can give to others who face challenges to their health and well-being. Life is an ultra, and every finish line is the starting line of the next adventure. |
