Mettle

It was a seriously windy and foggy day on the trails in Tennessee Valley!

Some days I wonder if the real reason I run is for the views 👀

Today’s Mettle Tuesday comes from Julia McIntire who crushed her first 50k in 2017.

“This was my first 50k. It was a total of 4 loops around Lake Rebecca. The weather was really tough at first with snow, rain and ice. On the last lap, it deteriorated into unrunnable conditions. It was so brutal, I just wanted to quit. It was truly a sufferfest and a test of my will. The only thing that kept me going was sheer will and having my best friend running the race with me to give me that extra boost. I’m so glad I finished!”

Unfortunately there were no photos from the event because they got to the warmth as fast as possible but still amazing to see!
