Another great video. 50k for the 50th birthday is still a great accomplishment. Glad you gave yourself some grace to do that. Leah is an angel as always. Can’t wait to see what your October adventure is. Stay well
Thank you! The October adventure was a success, I hope to start editing a video soon!
Happy Birthday Wes!
Thank you!
You done Wes👍. Love watching your adventures 🎉🎂

Happy Birthday Wes. I just wanted to let you know that someone on the trails told me about your channel. I always like hearing how people find out about that kind of thing. Gorgeous channel. Keep up the good work! 👏🏻

"Everything hurts!" Welcome to the 50's sir!!! Happy Birthday !!
😂 Thank you!
Excellent way to celebrate your birthday!!🎉🎉
Glad you agree! 🤩
WOW, what a beautiful trail! Happy belated birthday, and welcome to the 50's!
Thank you Anne!
Congratulations on your 50th and completing your 50 K beautiful views. Leah is very special. Looking forward to your October adventure
Thank you! I'm so blessed to have Leah with me, she is an angel. The October adventure starts Thursday, we'll be posting about it on Instagram as it happens.
What a great trail with neat views of the mountains, forest, and micro-ecosystems. Simply lovely! I also love how supportive your partner is. She's so caring, sympathetic, and patient. I'm sorry you didn't feel well enough to run the full 50 miles, but as you mentioned, you did run the Oregon 200 just a few weeks prior. Congrats and can't wait for the next run video!!!
Thanks Chad. I'm really hoping we'll get you on these trails!
Happy birthday Wes🎉
Thank you!
Belated happy birthday! Great trail and views.
Thank you very much!
Happy Birthday youngster!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday bro 🎉 celebrating with a run, fantastic! 👍🏃♂️👍
Thank you!
Happy 50th, welcome to wisdom! :) Isn't it amazing to be able to just decide to do 50 miles on your 50th birthday? What an incredible gift.
Yes, I'm so blessed. I had been thinking about how my first 50M is what prompted me to work with a coach. I still work with the same coach, but 50M is just a thing I can do without needing to specifically train months for. In theory, anyway. 🤩
So later....but Happy Birthday Wes! 🎉🎉🎉 So many beautiful views! And very wise idea to switch from 50M to 50K! 🤟 Now what's your next race? And, more important, are you ok now? 😀 a Great hug from Italy! 🇮🇹🍻🤟
Thank you! I'm feeling pretty good. The next challenge starts Thursday, follow on Instagram for updates!
@@wplate Oh yeah! Sure! 😀😀
A belated Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy belated birthday! I turned 50 in Sept as well... but i only ran 5.0 miles. 😂😂🎉
Happy belated to you too!
Belated happy birthday!
Thank you!!
Beautiful trail to celebrate on! 🎉
Right?! This trail is awesome and features so much goodness.
Happy birthday, Wes! Always a treat when you upload a new video!
Thank you Adam!
Happy Birthday!
Smart move to make it a 50k instead of the 50miles. Great trail by the way.
Glad you liked this trail, it is REALLY good!
Appreciate the hard work you put in. Keep running 💪💪
Thanks, it is a lot of work. 🙌🏼
Thanks Wes
Thanks for watching!
Happy birthday 🎉. I see the 100 miler is now officially on ultra sign up. Congrats! Are there grizzlies in this area of Montana? Nice video, as always.
The USFS says there are not grizzlies living in this area.
Thank you for watching!
Sto lat Wes!
🙌🏼 Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Wes! Question for you: I haven't noticed bear spray in your Butte area videos; do you typically carry it and do you experience grizzly activity on these trails? I encounter black bears not infrequently here in New Mexico but that's a whole different kind of bear!
Hi Kathleen! I carried bear spray during last year's birthday run You can see it here on my right hip ua-cam.com/video/_7_FBqZM94c/v-deo.htmlsi=1C4bOJcwOK7_PINO&t=366
and I also carried it in June when we did our test of the Copper Kings 100 course idea. You can see it here on my waist below my pack ua-cam.com/video/gtTqic4vkRE/v-deo.htmlsi=2Wv4mnGxLoWBhx2I&t=689
This belt holder was a lot better than what I used in the 49 for 49 run.
I did not bring bear spray with me for this 50 for 50 run.
There are not resident grizzlies in this area.
@@wplate Thanks! The belt holder arrangement looks a lot more comfortable for sure. I was training for Mighty Gallatin with a canister in tow but never quite got it in a comfortable spot that was also accessible. Hope whatever your October adventure is goes well!
@@kathleenstabler6591 Thank you, the October adventure starts Thursday. We’ll be posting updates on Instagram so you can cheer us on. :)
Happy Birthday 🎂 what headlight are you using? Thanks
Thank you! The headlamp is an old Petzl MYO
When you said that you had run a 200 miler three weeks ago then it all made sense.
And had another 200 miler a few weeks after too. :) Thanks for watching.
What watch do you wear to track your running?
I run with a Garmin Enduro 2
