I'm continuing my quest to win $10,000 in prize money from fun runs in a year. In this video, I travel to Duluth, MN to race in a stacked half marathon field for a chance to win lots of cash (or potentially nothing). I had been targeting this race for months, travel with me as I leave it all out there in this race.

Love your videos! I am getting back into running after a long hiatus, and your video on training for a 5k is the best of many I've watched. You have an amazing sense of humor! I'm impressed that you can run a sub 2:20 marathon while working full time, commuting 1.5 hours per day, having a family, and doing whatever else life throws at you. I'm sure there is a solution out there for your calf issues. You could make it as a coach/merch seller/KZfaqr in the vein of Nick Bester. Many marathoners have their best years in their 30s. Go for 2028 Olympic qualification. Looking forward to your next video. As a former D1 XC/track walk on, I loved that video too.

I’m so sorry you weren’t able to start at the front for your local half marathon. I bet that really made things tough for you. And to think, you could have spent .4 seconds less in the rain if you had gotten that front spot at the start.
