Did they say "Scott Jurek Ultra Vest"?!?!?!

So, trailandultrarunning.com, in conjunction with Ultimate Direction, is giving away an Ultimate Direction Scott Jurek Ultra Vest!  All I have to do is blog about why I love trail and/or ultrarunning to get a chance to win!  Well, hot damn!  Count me in!

Why do I love trail running?  Why do I love ultrarunning?  Where, oh where, do I begin?!
Let's start with...

Solitude

Camaraderie

Beauty

Unique Experiences

Wildlife

Adventure

Peace

Fun


I love trail running for all these reasons and many more.  I love ultrarunning for all the same reasons and because it allows me to find out what I'm really made of.  Ultrarunning has given me the chance to really get inside my head and find out that I can do anything I put my mind to.  The human body is amazing, and through ultrarunning I have learned to appreciate myself and my body in a way that I never before have.  I believe trail and ultrarunning has made me a more patient and gracious person.  And that, my friends, is why I love trail and ultrarunning!
