“I just wanted to make it home”—Candice

And she did.  After she had called her run because of insurmountable obstacles, she ran an ten extra hours and 20 more miles to make the last leg of her journey….to her home, our cabin in Pine.  She said "I wanted to run home."

As she finished her run, we met her and her crew at the Arizona Trail Pine Trailhead.





Candice’s pacers and crew….friends and so much more!



Candice had the strength, courage, and determination to attempt the Arizona Trail FKT (Fastest Known Time).  She had put together an amazing crew.  When she reached our cabin in Pine, she was easily on target to break the current record on this 800-mile trail.  

But she had the wisdom to know when going further could be harmful to her body and possibly dangerous.  Calling the run and stopping took more courage than continuing.


We are so very proud of our daughter!!


We love you, Candice.
