After years of working my way up the ultra distance ladder I was able to run in & complete my first 100 miler at Javelina in Oct 2017. Not knowing the Western States 100 entry rules I missed the cutoff for the 2018 lottery. Going into 2018 I had built a strong base & added races with hills to start toward my goal of qualifying. Unfortunately, April 1st, I tore my PCL and meniscus requiring surgery. I created this site to track my progress and getting back From zero to 100 miles.

2 weeks and 3 days out of surgery
2 weeks and 3 days out of surgery. Physical therapy today was eye opening on how week my core is. She also showed that my right side is quite a bit weaker than my left highlighting that as part of my lower back issues and knee pushing in during exercises. Either way... she cleared me to walk around the block (1 mile loop) and I just completed it in 20 mins! 20 mins is slow, but its 1 mile closer to 100. I can technically say that I have started training for Cuyamaca 100k right now.
