		<description><![CDATA[My husband John spends time on the internet looking for crazier and longer races. He succeeded in finding us a doozy to celebrate Labor Day Weekend: The Pretzel City Sports&#8217; First Annual Labor Pains 12 hour endurance run. We managed to talk Tracy, my sister-in-law, into the craziness. Tracy&#8217;s plan was to use this race [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that I have been systematically checking things off my bucket list (marathon, ultra, Ironman, and so on), it continues to grow. The newest addition? Thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. The latest desire is a result of a training run that John and I took last weekend along 20 miles of the Appalachian Trail. [...]]]></description>

Or, maybe, you remember me writing about the packing lists I check and re-check to keep track of all of my gear. Apparently, I took a break [...]]]></description>

Fallen tree branches criss-cross the first few meters of this particular trail, which starts just a few tenths of a mile down the street from my house. I hop-skip over some of [...]]]></description>

I had read about feeling depressed or sad after completing endurance events, such as an Ironman, but I was in denial that such a state of mind would creep [...]]]></description>

His life and actions serve as a model for the life well-lived. At his memorial service on Monday, my cousin Deb told a story about my grandfather&#8217;s craftsmanship. My [...]]]></description>

That is how close they get to you on the run course. A group of spectators held up a [...]]]></description>

As you come out of the transition area on the bike, there is a sharp almost 180-degree turn that takes you down a hill. After that, you head down a sharp but short descent on a street that is in [...]]]></description>
