Winner of the US 100 Mile Road Championship Disqualified Because of His Shoes
Running 100 miles is no joke – it is an extreme distance that takes incredible physical and mental endurance to complete. My 100 mile trail time is just over 26 hours so I am definitely not anywhere near the elites that run this distance. The winner of my race did it in like 18 hours. But, running for that amount of time and that distance has shown me what it takes to finish so I certainly know how difficult it can be. Imagine doing that kind of a race at that distance – and then finding out after an

My Birthday Gift: I Signed Up for My First 103 Mile Race!
Today (March 26), I turned 36. Yes, I am feeling older just typing that number! The funny thing is that I am exactly twice the age I was when I flew on an airplane for the first time ever! In the last 18 years, I have flown well over a million miles and visited dozens of countries, mostly due to miles and points. In the past on my birthday (or the day or two before), I would do something like run my age or do some other self-imposed challenge. A few years ago, I did** 31 miles on my

I Ran a 50 Mile Ultra Testing the New Apple Watch Ultra 2 – Here’s How it Did
Last year, Apple released the new Apple Watch Ultra. This was the Apple watch aimed at adventurers, endurance athletes – and anyone else that wanted a larger screen and better battery life. They had some big names on the release and the watch certainly clicked with many. But, it didn’t really bring a lot of ultra runners over from the likes of Garmin and Coros. This year, they announced the Apple Watch Ultra 2 which brought some new features (like a brighter display – up to 3000 nits) but didn’t really promise any better battery life. So, to test

Falling in love with Alaska miles all over again
As someone based on the east cost of the US, more than 3 hours by car from the closest airport served by Alaska Airlines, it might be tempting to think that the airline’s loyalty program, Mileage Plan, would be completely irrelevant for me. However, I’ve recently made a small a flurry of Alaska Mileage Plan award bookings for travel later this year. Revisiting some of Alaska’s newer sweet spots as I booked them for my own travel plans really has me falling in love with Alaska Mileage Plan all over again….and wondering if I should make another speculative transfer from

I have just flown ONE MILLION MILES
| Dawn in the air | In the film: Up in the Air, George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a guy with the goal of earning one million miles with the one airline. Today, I reached the milestone of one million miles in the air (1.6 million kilometres). My life does not completely rsemble Clooney’s movie character, however. Unlike him, I actually love being home and I like people. I now have elite statuses with the following carriers: I measure my air life at a great flight tracking tool called FlightMemory.

Plans are progressing towards our married million miler mileage run
My wife and I will both hit Delta Million Miler status this year. As I reported in January (see: My married million miler mileage run) I decided to turn this into a challenge.

The World Famous Comrades Marathon is Canceled – It Would Have Been the 100th Anniversary
While the marathon distance is a race of 26.2 miles, there is one race that has taken liberty with that definition – and that is ok. The heralded Comrades Marathon in South Africa is a huge draw to thousands of runners each year who toe the line knowing that this is now a regular “marathon” but is instead 90km (55.9 miles) long (approx. more on that below). It is a hugely popular race and now, for the second year in a row, it has been canceled. Link: Official Comrades Marathon Statement Last year was the first time since
