Why are you doing this?

I’m gearing up to run my first 50-mile race on 11/23!

Why are you doing this?

Listen above to my why—what I feel will keep me going and make the suffering worth it.

Thank you for being here,

May this find you healthy, happy, and strong,

Julie

P.S. Have a title idea for the poem below…please drop it in the comments below. :) Thank you, friends.

            50 Mile Honor (working title) 

50 miles 
begins in 16 days
some think I'm crazy
yet I need to say...

JFK, the 35th president
had a goal in mind
to get Americans moving
a belief I stand behind

50 miles
may seem extreme
originally a call 
for the Marines

a challenge with impact
if only Kennedy could see
the oldest ultramarathon
in the country

I'm honored to toe the line
to see what I can do
to run for my children
and inspire you
