Another of our Year In Review mentions also happened in December as Cheryl Edwards became just the second female in Volte's 12-year history to finish a 100-mile (or more) race, joining Mimi Torrez.
The late Joe Martinez also finished a 100-miler in 2012 followed two years later by Curtis Hooper.
Multiple 100-mile finishes have also been recorded by our training partners and friends such as Ramon Rosales, Rick Cook and the Murillos - Juan, Jose and Luis.
Also noteworthy is that even though he's been an encouragement - as a multiple 100-mile finisher himself - to so many in the community, head coach Bill Dwyer noted that Cheryl's training plan was the first that he wrote the complete training plan for.
And that Cheryl followed nearly 100 percent.
While she heaped praise upon her three pacers - Melissa Holloway, Scott Cohen and Ram Rajagopalan and her coach, Cheryl made clear in her post-race report that she was not planning to add "multiple 100-mile finishes" to her life resume.
"Never again! There. I said it." she said in her post-race report. "And this is not one of those races where in a week when the pain is gone I’ll change my mind.
"Bucket list run? Yes, and it has been checked. My body sufficiently hates me."
But Volte doesn't and admires your commitment and effort to realize an important goal and continue Volte's tradition of strong female runners.
