This is a short list, but it is merely a beginning. I've had a good one, a bad one (or not bad, exactly, but I was definitely in over my head) and a pure fun one. I think of this as the beginning of my journey as an ultra runner. So for now, we will call this my Ultra Runner Wanna-be list.
And remember...it is just the beginning...
