Running

At least a mile every day for four years, and occasionally a hundred at once.

Overview

All year

Overview

It started at the Superior Fall Trail Race marathon in 2023 and has gone up in distance every year since: 50K at Afton, the Superior 50, then a hundred at Massanutten in 2025. Underneath the racing is a streak: at least one mile every single day for over four years. In September 2026 I go back to the Sawtooth Mountains for the Superior 100.
