All I can say is WOW. This article is absolutely fascinating. Definitely worth the read. I couldn't imagine being an ultra runner (well actually I could -- because I am!) with severely diminished memory issues. I will say this though: endurance athletes are definitely cut of a different cloth, and they never cease to amaze me. And she is doing Hardrock this weekend to boot; as Payro will confirm that's just about the hardest damn race in the country. That and Leadville.
You go, Diane Van Deren. You just might be my new idol.

My husband sent this one over to me too. And I was worried about doing trail races and getting lost -- it really humbles me to think of the way she is challenging herself despite her setbacks.
