Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 247: Brazos Bend 50 Mile Race

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Brazos Bend 50 mile race in in the books.  

Today's episode is my race report and the positive motivations observed at an ultra endurance event.  Running all day in hot humid conditions results in great family memories.  I know it seems odd, but there is something about the freedom of a state park for adults and kids a like along with witnessing the struggle and accomplishment of completing a foot race that makes people happy and want to join in.  There were multiple multi-generation families there to cheer and enjoy time together.  

Contrast that with Disney World.  Kids crying, parents fighting, lines, complaining, and only disdain for the stranger pushing to get ahead in the line.  Forget the cost of such an adventure being 10s of times more for a day of fun than spending it running at a State Park.  

Thank you to Addie, Nathan, and Caleb Majnaric for coming out to pace me through the last 13 miles and enjoy a day of fun at Brazos Bend State Park.  The memories will last a lifetime.  I wonder what Caleb will think when he is older as he remembers cheering for his Grandmother as she finished another 50 mile race.  Yes, I will remind him if he forgets.
