My friend Laura has posted a report on her experience finishing her first attempted 100 miler at Umstead last weekend. Not only did she finish but did so in an outstanding time of 21:26!
You can link to her Blog here
I also have added a link over in the links column on the right border of this page.
Laura is a very talented runner and a very special lady. I call her The Trail Angel, but not because she happens to be very lovely. I met her while running along the trail at Carrboro in 2003. In just a couple of miles running together I sensed something very special about her. Afterwards I had a strange feeling that we met that day for a reason but didn't know why. It would be another year before I figured out that she was an Angel sent to help me move into the next phase of my life. Funny thing though, I didn't really get a good look at her that day at Carrboro and we were both bundled up for the cold weather so I didn't even recognize her when I next saw her later in that summer. But after that time we got to know each other better and since then I have felt very Blessed to have this lady and her unique spirit as my friend. I believe that God puts certain people in our lives to help us along life's journey, and knowing her has had a positive impact on my life.

The tangled web we weave amongst friends and acquaintances is amazingly complex and oh so gratifying. Surrounding yourself with good people rubs off. Recognizing it as a blessing tells me you are a good person as well. Good luck and God Bless you.
