Nothing I write can explain how amazing of an adventure this week had been but I\u2019ll try. Half the week was excessively hot and humid, the other half was chilly and rainy, nothing in between. There was blood, sweat and tears. At times I was ready to pack up. But what kept me going were the amazing people that I shared all of this with. These are some of the finest people in the world, whether they\u2019re working on their own PR or are setting a national record. I spent the week running miles with national and world record holders, sharing stories and laughs with some of the most inspiring athletes. This is such a unique event and even though it\u2019s a week filled with pain management and sleep deprivation I already miss my #3DATF family. By the end of the race I had accumulated 208 miles which put me over 500 miles total at the Fair. #njtrailseries #altrarunning #endurance #ultrarunning #running #runningwarehouse<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/ift.tt\/2IUYrSw<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Days at the Fair &#8211; 144 hour race.
