135 Miles in 10 Days

I don't normally train with a lot of high mileage. But I wanted to give myself a big challenge heading into the summer months. This last week has been a real test. The goal was simple: run 13.5 miles per day for 10 days. But simple as we know, is not easy. The alarm was often set for 3:45 am or earlier and I really struggled to get out the door in the last couple days of the effort. But I did it. And I'm going to draw down on this week of training during the race. Thanks so much everyone who donated this last week and throughout the campaign. Excited for the miles and heat training that lies ahead.

A MESSAGE FROM Ben's Journey to Badwater 135

I've dreamed of running the Badwater 135 since I trained for my first marathon 20 years ago. It's humbling and inspiring to be selected as one of one hundred athletes who will toe the line at Badwater Basin later this summer.

On my application for the race I indicated that I would use this effort to raise money for an organization that means a lot to me: Back on My Feet. Back on My Feet empowers people experiencing homelessness and addiction to transform their lives and achieve self-sufficiency through the power of running, community, and support services.

I have been a volunteer with Back on My Feet for the past 12 years. Having the chance to use this effort, training for and racing "The World's Toughest Foot Race", to raise money for Back on My Feet is so rewarding. Please consider helping out the other inspiring individuals who make up this incredible organization by making a donation.
