Congratulations on the Ultra, Cliff!
My nephew, Cliff completed the 33 hour Wasatch 100 Ultra Marathon run. This is about as crazy as I can imagine. (I say that in jest and in awe). To look at him here with his dad you'd never know he'd been through this grueling ordeal. A little worse for wear, according to his mom, down 7 lbs and with 7 blisters on one foot (don't have the count for the other). He impressed everyone and his whole family was cheering him on. What an accomplishment! Gene (his dad - the original Bates runner) said "This one is for the history books." He said he’s never seen anyone turn things around and run their heart out that late in a hundred miler. He'd had some rough spots during the night.

That's awesome!!! I'm so impressed! It's strange how people in the same family can be so different.. I was just thinking this morning how positive and healthy their family is and we are so ... well, the opposite. haha! Good for him.
