I cannot wait to hear more about it. I should have run the JFK 50 miler.......I picked the wrong 50 mile race and regret it.

Hi Jenn, I'm happy to share my experience with you. Thank you for reading and being here! I'm curious what 50 miler did you run? Is running ultras still a go for you now or have you taken a break?
