This week I had the pleasure to speak with AJ Jones. They are a trail and ultra runner based in Albuquerque. They talk about their first 100 miler at the Oregon Cascades 100.
We start with how AJ got into running in high school and took a long break before getting started again. They talk about some difficult life events that pushed them back into running. AJ talks about wanting to prove that their body could handle tough things.
We talk about the southern Oregon area where the Cascades 100 was held and where AJ grew up. We then really get into the experience of the race. AJ talks about their crew, getting through the night, and much more.
It was fantastic hearing about their dad being there and helping them get through the end of the race. It's a beautiful moment to listen to.
It was great getting to know AJ and I hope you enjoy our conversation and it helps you get motivated to do something big as well.
The rain has been a welcome surprise and it's fantastic to see the weather cooling down. I hope everyone's training is going well and injury free. So layer your clothing, stay hydrated, dream big, and keep running, New Mexico.
