Pain is pleasure... AC 100 finish time 30:41
Yes running 100 miles can hurt. Hey but getting to finish line is so sweet. It makes all the pain go away once you cross the line.
People often ask what do think of when your out running 100 miles???
I think about everything & I think about nothing.
During AC I though a lot about my past life and when I was a goth party girl. Had I not gone through all the stuff ,I went through I would of never become Catra ultrarunner.
Each day I'm grateful that I'm alive and have so many wonderful friends. Thanks to all of you who believe in me.

Hi Catra,
Congratulations to all your accomplishments. You have been my inspiration!

I was going to ask what you think about in the other comments section, but I realized it was probably a silly question.

It occured to me that you would be free to think about everything or nothing. A better question might be what don't you think about.

Congrats on your race!

Congratualtions! It's great to see how your past has shaped you into the person you are today!

Hi Chihping-

I slowed down at mile 75. That's where my race starts at AC. The last 25 miles is the hardest.
Thanks for following me.

Looking forward to seeing you at Rio del Lago 100 were going to kick some butt there. Well maybe not me but I know you will run a fast race there.

Willem-

Thank you for spending the night with me Saturday night. You were awesome. I enjoyed the stories of your past.
You were a great pacer and I would love to have you pace me again some day. Sorry I was moving so slow at the end, but my legs & feet were killing me.

BTW your dog is so cute!!!
Thanks again for all your help and thank you for giving up your weekend to pace me.
