2015 is off to a great start! Everyone here in the office has been working hard on their New Year’s goals and resolutions, and that includes me. One of my big goals for the new year is to run a 55k which equates to just over 34 miles. My wife and I have actually been working on this goal for quite a while now, but it all culminates on February 21st in Northern Arizona. We’ll be participating in the Antelope Canyon 55k down in Page, Arizona, along with my two brothers and my brother-in-law.
We’ve been training all winter long, and let me tell you, there have been some pretty miserable days. Fortunately, with spring on the horizon (granted, the distant horizon), it’s been a little less wet and freezing, but we’ve had to get pretty creative with our routes in order to avoid the muck and mud. One thing that’s kept us motivated is the promise of a Bowl of Heaven at the end of the trail. Knowing that a bowl of Acai is waiting for us at the end of our run gives us that extra boost of energy we need to make it across our self-imposed finish lines.
