Welcome back to the Fun of the Run podcast. After a bit of a hiatus due to my son Austin's cancer diagnosis in May 2024, I'm back with a recap of my first EVER 100 mile race...Across the Years! It was a wild ride getting here and I couldn't have done it without the help and support of so many of you. Please enjoy the raw and real perspective of what it's like to approach a 100 miler as a runner who typically finishes in last place at ultras. Spoiler alert: I DID it!!! And the belt buckle is glorious. Please visit aravaiparunning.com for more info about Across the Years event or see @aravaiparunning on IG. Please visit ChrisMorrison.Runs@gmail.com or @ultra_path_coaching on Instagram to inquire about run coaching. Please email funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM @waddellrunninglady with comments, questions, suggestions or feedback on this show. As always, thank you for listening!

This week I'm going to tell you all about my epic weekend in Orderville, Utah running the first ever Zion 100 Challenge by Milestone Events! I was able to finally hit my goal of 50 miles and I had so many awesome experiences along the way. Plus, I was able to meet so many Instagram running friends in real life. I'll never forget this event. Ever. Huge thanks to Milestone Events for giving me such a precious opportunity!
