What to say about the Marathon du Medoc? We had a lot of fun drinking wine, but it was definitely a test as it was 85F (29C) and we are still battling the lingering effects of a cold.

Here are some of our favorite moments from packet pickup on Friday to the finish on Saturday!

Happy New Year's from Thailand!

2017 is in the books. Today, I ended the year on a great note by crossing 19,000 miles on my way to walking the distance around the equator (24,901 miles). It marks the end of year 5 of my 10 year challenge. I am now over 75% of the way to my goal with 5 years still remaining.

Today also marks my 1,133 straight day (3 years and 37 days) of running at least 1 mile a day. In 2017, I ran these miles on 4 continents, 30 countries, and 100+ cities.

Bring on 2018 and the fun challenges that lie ahead!

What better way to celebrate crossing 18,000 miles than having a beer or two at Oktoberfest! Only 6,901 miles to go to reach my goal of running/walking the distance around the equator (24,901 miles) from the age of 30 to 40!

Well, in less than 34 hours I'll be attempting the North Face Endurance Challenge 50 mile race. Woefully under prepared for the 11,175 ft of elevation gain in the Marin Headlands! Should be a fun Saturday!

2015 is in the books! 4,381 miles logged for a 12 mile per day average (4.44 running and 7.56 walking)! 60K+ minutes, 1K+ hours, ~42 days, or ~11.5% of the year spent moving. ~530K calories burnt or 3,148 pints of Guiness. Happy 2016, I think I'll have a beer!
