The Moab 240, a foot race that starts and finishes in Moab, Utah. This would be my longest race to date in terms of distance, but I'd hope it would be my fastest 200+ mile race as well. And as the race progressed, my aspirations continued to grow.

Hey, just had to reply as I started running after several years of really bad mental health after the death of my partner. It's helped me so much too. It gives me hope and even moments of gratitude & joy I never thought I would feel again, and most of all it gives me the space I need to just exist - whether that involves processing thoughts/emotions or just emptying my mind and running. Being in nature is so healing too. I hope you are doing well, sending love from the UK and happy running ❤️❤️❤️
