Turning 50 & Taking on Cruel Jewel 100

Join me as I take you through the mind of a newly crowned 50 year old. Yes, it is just a number but, for me, it was a stark reminder of how fast this little stint called "life" truly is.
As part of my yearlong celebration, I took on the Cruel Jewel 100, one of the most grueling 100-milers on the east coast!
It lived up to its "cruel" reputation but was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, especially since I got to share the experience with a good friend of mine. It's not always where you are, but who you're with.
The Cruel Jewel 100 is a 104-mile foot race which takes place in the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest of the North Georgia Mountains. The race comes equipped with rocks, roots, waterfalls, lush green hardwood forests, spectacular wildlife and 33,000 feet of climbing along the way!
I'll walk you through my preparation and race day highs/lows along this extremely memorable 34 hour 23 minute journey.
