I’ve had this concept run on my mind for years, so what better way to do it than as a birthday-miles run. Plus 3 extra for good luck.
From the furthest end of the fells skyline to the furthest end of blue hills skyline. And back. Covering both north and south trails in blue hills.
I didn’t totally anticipate or factor in the snow effect, which was very fun sometimes, but also was generally slower and required more stability muscles.
The best part of this adventure was the friends who kept me company, supported me, and encouraged me. I think that’s what made it really special.
In order of appearance, Marta, Jade Bihua Zhang, Matt Dibb, Sam Farnsworth, Gwenyth Taradash, Bruce Leung, Jac St. Louis, Rob Struck. I’m so grateful for you all from your mobile aid stations, to surprise encounters, to birthday hugs. What a day!
