Posted August 7, 2020 by Wendy in Fitness Friday, Personal / 2 Comments

I realize this has been months after I’ve completed the Yeti 24 hour Ultra that I’m finally posting this, but! The information is still relevant and I hope you all will enjoy reading about my 24 hour journey anyway 🙂 This ultra running adventure started out the way that most of my running adventures do.

Have you ever heard such a unique premise?? My Thoughts: This is probably one of the most unique book premises I’ve ever read.
