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.

Cleared to jog
PT work today. Big improvement from last week. Can actually do lunges now w/o sharp pain the ligaments outside the knee. Strength & flexibility work at the gym, elliptical for 20 mins, biking for 20 mins, leg presses and stretching seem to be helping a lot. 2-3 miles okay, alternating days. Asked that I be at 5 miles by July 10. Easy peasy!!!
