Weekly Recap: 4 Weeks Until the Brookings Marathon!

But seriously, I don't think I have ever travelled only to spectate/cheer and I think it's going to Continue Reading

The Non-Antarctica Parts of our Trip to Antarctica (i.e. Argentina & Uruguay!)
I recapped the Antarctica Marathon in THIS POST. It was the most challenging marathon I have ever done. Check out all the gory details there! Now, I'd like to share a recap of the rest of the trip, which, to quote my friend Phil from the Cayman Islands (who took the same trip a few years ago), was a "belter of a trip." A "belter" of a trip for sure! I know most of you want to see more pictures Continue Reading
