It’s time to close my chapter on Nolan’s 14. I’m not one to leave unfinished business in the mountains, and Nolan’s is no exception. . Nolan’s 14 isn’t just a run to me; it’s been an opportunity for self healing, closure, and developing healthy new relationships (with myself and others). Tomorrow will be a celebration of this. I’m merely just blowing out the candles in celebration of everything I’ve gained because of this line. . On Saturday, August 8 at 0500 MDT, I’ll hit the start button on my tracker and GPS watch, setting off to finish what I started last year; to finish Nolan’s 14, North to South (SOBO). Whatever happens out there, I’m hoping for the run of my life – the highs and lows, the community camaraderie, and a goal seen through to completion. . Tracker link is in my profile. This is a supported attempt, so if you’re in the area and want to cheer from a peak, I’d love to share part of this experience with you. . If you’re still reading and wondering, ‘what is Nolan’s?’; it’s a cult classic, unofficial ultramarathon, that traverses the southern 14-14,000’ peaks of the Sawatch Mountains of Colorado over approximately 100 miles with roughly 45,000’ of elevation loss and gain. There is no defined route, much of it is off trail and you have 60-hours to complete it ‘for it to count’. . @dynafit #speedup #trailheroes @guenergylabs #guforit
