    How many photos do you typically take?

    I take about 60 photos every trip, I get maybe 5-10 decent ones.

    Next year = 50K

    I started caving before I ever did a night run, they aren't that different! You'll need 2 backup lights.

    @Shawn I saw you're signed up for next year too! Did you go for day or night?

    Next year = 50K

    Yep, about 2 more miles I would have run 100k. I'm good with 50k, there was a new medal this year.

    Next year = 50K

    I did the 50k. I didn't make it 62 miles this year, my knees were giving me a lot of problems.

    I've been doing group hikes with the hikers of the Hoosier's Hidden Hikes FB group, we hike once or twice a year. I don't love group hikes, but these are always a good time.

    Marathons

    I ran the Tunnel Hill Marathon last year, it counts as a trail run. It was 2 out and backs stuck together so you turned around a couple miles north of the tunnel. It was a lot of fun to run with all the 100 mile runners and see them finishing their races.

    Most recent waterfall photos!
