    Turning 50 & Taking on Cruel Jewel 100

    Join me as I take you through the mind of a newly crowned 50 year old. Yes, it is just a number but, for me, it was a stark reminder of how fast this little stint called "life" truly is. As part of my yearlong celebration, I took on the Cruel Jewel 100, one of the most grueling 100-milers on the east coast! It lived up to its "cruel" reputation but was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, especially since I got to share the experience with a good friend of mine. It's not always where you are, but who you're with. The Cruel Jewel 100 is a 104-mile foot race which takes place in the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest of the North Georgia Mountains. The race comes equipped with rocks, roots, waterfalls, lush green hardwood forests, spectacular wildlife and 33,000 feet of climbing along the way! I'll walk you through my preparation and race day highs/lows along this extremely memorable 34 hour 23 minute journey.

    My First Backyard Ultra - Mistakes and Lessons Learned

    I had my first crack at the Backyard Ultra format over Memorial Day weekend at the Capital Backyard in Lorton VA! It was an incredible experience on so many levels and, if you're considering this format and on the east coast, you will NOT be disappointed! Sarah Smith, the RD, does an amazing job on this one on every single level. The food at the start/finish in the best I've ever had at a race and the overall energy is stuck in the clouds every single time you finish a yard! The format is simple. Run a 4.167 loop (yard) at the start every hour, on the hour and run until you can't continue or just decide to quit. Roughly 60 runners lined up for this one and the winner ultimately ran nearly three days to get the win! While the format sounds straightforward, it was an eye-opener to me on many levels!  With all that said, I wanted to share all my mistakes and save you some time from making the same ones I did. This episode is all about the Capital Backyard!

    Patrick Durante - The Importance of Setting an Example

    As a child, Patrick, a newly minted master runner at the age of 41, remembers countless days accompanying his dad on his track workouts. While runnning up and down the bleachers as his dad sped around the track, his father's dedication, hard work and enjoyment was never lost on him, and those attributes became the foundation for the man he is today. Now a father himself, Patrick continues instilling these values in his own children through his constant dedication, hard work and enthusiasm toward running. While his family shares some of his love for running, he also wants them to know the more important part is to just enjoy this stint down here called life.

    Bryan Fortini - Getting Hit by a Truck Couldn’t Stop His Running Streak!

    Bryan's 2138-day running streak and life nearly came to an end following a horrific accident back in October 2021. With 14 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a shattered clavicle and 2 weeks in the ICU, he was always grateful for what he still had, and what he could still do. Running streakers from around the world donated some of their daily miles to keep his amazing streak alive until he could pick it up again.  Four months later, now at day 2150, he's back in the saddle with an entirely different perspective on life. Treat yourself to hearing what true grit and determination is all about and, if nothing else, go out there and be grateful for the life you have!
