Running an ultramarathon every day meant having to focus completely on the task at hand, the run, as well as the other very important things in my life: family & work. I had little time for anything else. Because of that I decided not to do any media other than the Trail Runner article back in February. Tuning out everything that was non-essential was part of my coping mechanism when pushing hard each day. I allowed myself to immerse in the experience while also managing my business and coming home to make dinner for the kids and hear about their school day.
Often it felt like a juggling act with a few balls dropping at any given time, but I managed for the entire 200 days. When Jason at the WSJ reached out last week, I agreed to an interview and the article just came out yesterday. I hope to be able to share my journey, now that I’m done with the streak, in the coming weeks and months and I’m honored to be featured in this top notch publication! Link in bio to the article. A big thank you to Jason Gay of the WSJ, he’s a great interviewer & writer and he captured the journey in a fun way.
I have mixed feeling about sharing my life and adventures, it can be difficult to share such intimate parts of myself, my life and my family. Sharing my motivations and my thoughts comes naturally to me as I love writing but I also love doing what I do low-key. I don’t like being the center of attention, or, at least it doesn’t come naturally to me.
I appreciate all of YOU and I was blown away by the overwhelming positive response to my daily musings, struggles and growth. This outlet always felt like a safe place to let my thoughts out. All of your stories of your running journey, your encouragement and kindness truly touched me day after day.
I’m not going anywhere— I’ll keep sharing my journey and I’ll keep being motivated by YOURS so please keep commenting and let me know about your running journey. I’d love to hear about anyone else doing a running streak. Tell me your daily minimum and what motivates you each day! Again, a deep thank you for your support, love and shares. https://www.wsj.com/sports/candice-burt-ultra-marathon-200-days-7dab983b
