Yesterday the front page of the official website for Mud Mountain (www.mudmountain.org) began featuring personal quotes from past runners of the cross country 5K, including this quote from Cheryl Reasoner Wethers, pictured above: “I ran Mud Mountain to prove to myself that despite a brain injury from a cycling accident, I was up for the challenge of my first 5K since rehab. I didn't know if I would cross the finish line, or finish the race, but not trying wasn't an option. Besides, I love running hills and was proud to close with a strong sprint to the finish!”To see all quotes, click here. New quotes will be added each day between now and race day.
