For my birthday this year, I wanted to do something to shake it up and test myself physically, so I decided to run 61 miles from Miami to Palm Beach. I started my run at 5 am in Miami, and the first few miles started sublime. I was feeling great and running at a nice pace. The night sky was full of stars, and the faint breeze was refreshing. Then I fell!<br><br>I was running on the sidewalk without my light on (duh), and my foot firmly hit an elevated section of the walkway, causing me to take a direct fall onto the concrete. I laid there for a minute, making sure I was still in one piece, before I slowly got up and dusted myself off. The road rash from falling put a damper on things, so I felt sorry for myself.<br><br>My default to &#8216;poor me&#8221; was commonplace. Humans are taught early on to avoid pain and injury, and my thinking was baseline normal; I was hurt. During these ultramarathons, I use an interval bell, which rings every couple of minutes. I run for a ring and then walk for a ring over and over again as long as my battery lasts. So, just like that &#8220;ding-ding,&#8221; I tried to start running slowly. Blood was dripping from my hand and elbow, and my leg was in pain. I was moving.<br><br>It was dark. I had over 12 hours of running in front of me. I said to myself, &#8220;Why me! Why me!&#8221; but I was running. Then, about 30 seconds later, while my rash was stinging, I heard a different voice, totally unexpected. The voice inside emphatically said, &#8220;Why not me!&#8221; I thought about it while jogging; many others worldwide have it far worse than I do. &#8220;Why not me&#8221; registered in my mind and psyche. I bought it! Yes, I was injured. Yes, 61 miles is a long way to go, And yes, I was feeling okay enough to try to keep at it and let the Chips fall as they may (pun intended).<br><br>I continued, and soon enough, the sun began to rise, giving me much-needed energy and morale. Seeing the beauty of nature always has a way of making me feel better, no matter what situation I&#8217;m in. Before I knew it, I was running on the Hollywood Beach Strip, and runners were everywhere! I was amazed to see so many runners and asked one of them if they were in a race. The runner said, &#8220;Yes! It&#8217;s the Hollywood Beach half-marathon.&#8221; I got excited because I had no idea there was a race going on, and this motivated me to pick up the pace and keep on truckin&#8217;.<br><br>When I arrived at the half-marathon finish line, I saw a firetruck and medics and asked them if they would treat my wounds. They were happy to do so and even congratulated me on running the race. I told them I was not actually in the race but had just run up from Miami Beach. Captain Bill said, &#8220;You are an ultramarathoner.&#8221; I said yes, I am.<br><br>From there, I had 45 more miles to go. I ran in heavy traffic on shoulder-only roads. I ran on sidewalks, grass, and sand. I ran through puddles, trash, and broken glass. I saw countless sights and good friends along the way. I endured ups and downs, showers and monsoons, sweltering heat, severe dehydration (blood), dizzy spells, and knee trouble. It wasn&#8217;t easy, but I did it. <br><br>It was a unique way to spend my 61st birthday and push towards my limit. The last few miles were tough, and it took me nearly 15 hours from pre-dawn to post-dusk to reach my 61-mile mark.<br><br>I hope you enjoyed hearing about my birthday extravaganza! If you&#8217;re ever feeling stuck in a rut or like you need to shake things up a bit, consider doing something outside your comfort zone &#8211; you might surprise yourself with what you&#8217;re capable of!<br><br>\u2014William &#8220;Chip&#8221; Corley<br><br>https:\/\/readyinvestgo.1db.com\/Run61at61<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????????!&#8221; I turned 61 on November 6.
