I can’t explain to my husband and son why I started crying so hard when I watched Faith Kipyegon’s record attempt.

Will and I made a cake to celebrate his PR in the 3200m at yesterday’s track meet. We watched the new Jasmin Paris documentary the night before his race, and he said, “That’s what I’m going to be thinking of when I run.” #BM100

In March 2024, Jasmin Paris made history as the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, touching the yellow gate with just 1:39 to spare.

"The Finisher" follows her three-year journey, featuring insights from legends like Lazarus Lake, Jared Campbell, Courtney Dauwalter, and more.

Will says no one has ever finished with a Loop 1 split over 10 hours. #BM100

“It’s a bit slow but they still have a chance of finishing,” says Will R-S, the 15 year old Barkley analyst who will one day be out there, ripping pages out of books
The first two runners have finished Loop 1 in 9:44:55 and 9:44:57. #BM100

I am rooting for Claire Bannwarth. Even if it’s a red herring and she isn’t really doing the Barkley. I’m just rooting for her, always 🇫🇷 #BM100

The first runner has come through the Fire Tower in ~ 7:00 hours, over an hour slower than last year. #BM100

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

If you need some wholesome content on your timeline. I just took my 15 year old son to the mall. Because he and his friends wanted to hang out there today. So that is a thing youths still do 🩵
