Thanks for sharing! I've been dreaming about running Hardrock for 7 years but have yet to enter the lottery. Reading about your long journey to Hardrock is such an inspiration :) Have a lovely run this weekend!

I hope you run a qualifier and enter the lottery! I also encourage you to come to Silverton, if you can, next July to volunteer at a Hardrock aid station ... it's a great experience. I wrote about it here: https://sarahrunning.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-an-aid-station

Sarah! It's going to to epic! I hope you have a great race, and experience this race for al it's worth. (BTW, a 1000 miles for the first half of the year?!? With vert that's a LOT). I'll be following along.
