I can't wait until they allow ATV's and motorcycles on that trail.

Then we'll really see some records broken!

I drink Tang every day.

That said, I’ll never be an ultra-marathon runner.

For any of you who subscribe to Netflix, there’s a good movie, “The Barkley Marathons” that recounts a particularly rugged series of endurance races centered on Frozen Head State park in eastern TN. The people are definitely quirky and it’s fun to watch.

His support crew said Meltzer was not available for an interview immediately after completing his run. He was sleeping.

OK - up front I’m not a purist but I have humped a ruck over a few mountains and down some trails. Even hiked a bit of the AT.

He ran the trail carrying water bottles and had a support crew that carried his “camp” items.

The AT is the journey - not a throughway to the end,

The South American Incas used human runners called Chasqui to send messages up and down the Incan Empire. Most of the communication was oral (God help the Chasqui that forgot the message). It was said that the Chasqui loved hard liquor.

It doesn’t work that way. The AT is northward from Georgia to Maine. Anything else is bupkis!

I read the book mentioned there, “Born To Run”, it’s a great topic, I’m no runner.
