My ankle has continued to be angry with me. Nothing seems to make it feel 100%.

I am at peace with the break though. From August 2015-August 2016 I have trained and competed in two 50ks. I am very satisfied with my first year of ultra running. And I am happy to take some time to reflect, set new goals, and come back stronger next year.

The real downfall is that without the time running I have nothing to write about! It was my secret ingredient. Being out in the wilderness on trail brought the best and most creative energy to my life.

Maybe ski season will do the same…
