Ashly Winchester John Muir Trail FKT Update 1

Ashly surpassed 45 miles and 12,600' gain at the 24hr mark for her JMT FKT attempt putting her approximately 11 miles ahead of record pace.

A general message sent out on tracker says "feeling good all things considered. Feet hurt. Soaking them in cold creek. Not sure I will be able to do 45 miles again. ALL HEART."

"ALL HEART" is written on her forearm as she hikes - acknowledging not everything has been right for the training and lead up for this dream effort - two bouts with Covid, injuries, last minute permit - but she is going to focus on the deep love and meaning she finds on this trail to sustain her through the lows.
