September 18, 2012 I ran my first ultramarathon at Dances With Dirt-Hell in 2000. It was a life-altering experience for me. I did the 50k race that year, just 5 miles longer than a standard marathon, but worlds apart.
September 18, 2012 I feel so sorry for this young girl. It's a story that could be a bad TV movie. Classmates nominated Whitney Kropp to be on the homecoming court, but only as a cruel joke.
