Back when I had never run more than 26.2 miles, I would try to picture myself as an ultramarathoner. And when I did, I pictured a stronger, fitter, faster athlete. A tough, ripped, running machine. I figured that I'd run a 50-miler and develop my ability to burn fat for fuel and improve my ...

Call it post-race blues if you like. It happened after qualifying for Boston, and now it's happening after running my first 50-mile ultramarathon.
