Thoughts about ultrarunning: “Ultrarunning is a state of mind rather than sport, because it has to do with your psychology rather than with your physique. Success in ultrarunning is hardly a matter of talent only, as it takes you a lot of time and effort to achieve good results. Just look at the top ultrarunners, and you will find very few people below 30-years-of-age among them.”

Thoughts on running Sunmart: “Once again, "The Sunmart 50 is one of the most runner friendly races around, from the pre-race meal to the goody bag and the finisher prizes it is on a different plane. I thoroughly enjoy seeing old friends from around the country and meeting new faces that otherwise might not make it out to my neck of the woods. The weather is quite perfect for December running and Roger and his volunteers keep everything primed as far as the trail is concerned. I think I'm craving the Start/Finish chuck wagon as we speak."
Anne Riddle Lundblad, 40, North Carolina, (50-Mile)

Thoughts on ultrarunning: “I began running 26 years ago and gradually worked my way through the distances until I ended up running ultras. I am probably known best for my accomplishments in road ultras, but I love the beauty and solitude of the trails. I enjoy the simplicity of the sport as well as the opportunity to challenge myself to run faster and farther.”
