In the last few months of 2017, I found some great new inspiration for my health and wellness business, Happy Belly Life. That time and inspiration manifested in Healthnut.

Rich Heffron placed 2nd (11:04:16) & Scotie Jacobs placed 4th (12:19:11), Laura Rekkerth was 9th female at the Twisted Branch 100k Trail Run! Something was happening in Leadville Colorado. Joe's encounter with a trail superhero. Natalie Thompson wins RNR’s Lucifer’s Crossing 6.6 miler in 54:30! And much more, check it out!

Since moving from Washington, this was Natalie's 1st major mountain race on the East Coast that took her straight up a mountain, and did so on multiple days.

I went into this past weekend with a pretty ambitious goal: run teammates Jason Friedman’s New Paltz Pizza Challenge Friday night, (register for and) run The North Face 50k in Bear Mountain Saturday morning, drive back up to Rochester Saturday night, and race the Medved Madness 25K in my hometown on Sunday.  Well, in brief, I did not accomplish all of these goals, but whatever I did accomplish, it turned out to be one of those weekends you just hope never ends!

It was a another big weekend of racing for the team with The North Face Endurance Challenge visiting the great trails of Bear Mountain & Harriman State Park of NY, as well as the Rock the Ridge 50 Mile Endurance Challenge.
