    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/RUclipsr 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.
