My favorite race is the Black Squirrel Half Marathon. After running it the past four years I decided to skip it this year, as it fell just one week before the Mogollon Monster 100. I made a video instead.

Mogollon Monster 100 done and dusted. That was the hardest race I’ve ever done, and I couldn’t have realistically expected it to go any better. My 24h56m finish was good for 4th place.

My 8yo son wants to do an exclusive little race called The Barkley Marathons. Yesterday he met & walked 21 miles with the race director Laz in Wyoming as Laz makes his way across the USA.
