31 Reasons to Run: Dallas Ultra Marathon 50k (31M)

Remember when a marathon seemed like a long distance? It still is, don't worry. This year, a new goal crept in to the lineup, an Ultra Marathon. So, adding 6 additional miles to the marathon, this month's year-ending race, the Dallas Ultra Marathon is my first ultra distance.

To celebrate and close out the year, I decided to break the race down into reasons I love to run.
