Here's another picture of me during the run this one was 20 miles into it!
I have to work in a couple hours so I will post the story tonight.
I'm a bit sore today. My right ankle where the bone is is swollen. I twisted it around 25 miles into it. I knew it hurt off and on the whole time. But didn't look at it until this morning.
I'm sure it's no big deal. I plan to run tomorrow. It's part of my recover. It's good to get the muscles moving again.
Thanks again to all my friends for helping and thinking of me. Posted by Picasa

Congrats! You are a motivation. I was on my 18 mile training run for a marathon and I thought If you can run 42 hrs I can run 4. Thanks!

Great run, Cat!!! So, in 42 hours, how much sleep did you get? I totally think you should apply to Badwater, having done it myself......

Hey Jonathan-
Sleep??? No sleep! You sleep when your done. That's what I always say.
The goal was to be out running,hiking, walking and crawling for 42 hours.
I ended up doing 122 miles.

I will do Badwater someday. I just have so many projects that time of year. The last 4 years it's been the JMT. Next year it will be the speed record attempt on the PCT.
I know I would do great at Badwater I love the heat. I pace and crewed two times. I paced 60 miles of it and I was fine.
I told Chris I would most likely sign up for the race in 2008.
Cheers,
Catra
