Hello #runchi friends - for every unsolicited campaign text message you get, you have to run a mile. Sorry about that. :(

Did you know our spring lakefront 50k offers an early start option? We understand you’ve got things to see and people to do so we’ve got you covered. You’ll still receive a finisher’s medal and the results will say “Finished.”

You won't believe it. I don't believe it myself - 96 today. How to live to 120? Live to 119 and then be very very careful :-) Celebrating with friends

We just realized that it’s 47 more sleeps until our our spring 50k in memory of Chicago running legend George Cheung. Who was George and why do we run a race in his memory? chicagoultra.org/race%20info… #runchi #ultrarunning
Please don’t. If you see an ultrarunner at a work conference we are trying to figure out what meetings we can skip and go on a long run instead.

Dear extrovert friends, If you see a person standing alone at a conference looking around, invite them into your group. This is the universal sign for please be my friend I’m too scared to ask you. Sincerely, Your introvert friends
In 1979 Western States 100 there were six medical checks. Vitals were taken including blood pressure. A few willing runners submitted to rectal temperature readings. Pictured, Frank Bozanich. See: bit.ly/2CYZ6NB #trailandultra #wser #ws100 #trailrunning

This is the Chicago equivalent of spitting in the wind, tugging Superman’s cape, trying to ride a lion at the zoo and insulting @Skilling all rolled into one. My word.
