Have a very happy holiday and enjoy the well deserved break! I run half marathons and no matter how much I train, the last 1/2 to 1 mile is always rough. Will keep running here in Omaha over the holidays - on Day #565 of my running streak. 👍🏻

My goodness!!!! Ever since I read your very first newsletter I have been wanting to run the MCM. It is what inspired me to run marathons at all. It has been cancelled on me twice now, but I am hoping really hard that it will go through this year.

I am married to a (former) Marine. And not just a Marine, but a former D.I., so I know their love of adding that toughest bit at the end. And, their particular love of running up hills! In fact, we live at the top of a hill.

After reading your wonderfully inspiring description of the end of the MCM, I have decided to end all my training runs by going past my house and ending going up my VERY steep hill.
