What got me started doing ultras: My husband. But after meeting all of the amazing runners that do these races, I wanted to become one of them. Ultra hero: Ann Trason Ultra quote: "Obsessed: how the lazy describe the dedicated." "You know you're an ultra runner when you seriously consider installing handicap bars in the bathroom."
