Badwater 135: Meredith Dolhare on running the...

To help raise awareness for RunningWorks, Meredith Dolhare is running the Badwater 135 ultramarathon. Stride Nation spoke to her just days before the race, about motivation, coffin-sized coolers, a plan if her shoes melt, and blister management. Monday's  forecast  in Death Valley is 120 degrees. Both Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to see highs of 118. The  low  over this three-day stretch is 90 degrees. But what else would you expect from a race that starts in a town called Furnace Creek? And it's in that heat that 100 runners will set out on a 135-mile ultramarathon, through some of the most unforgiving terrain on the planet -- this is the  Badwater Ultramarathon , the world's toughest footrace.
