On this episode I sat down with my wife, Kerong, in our living room to talk through my experience running the 2026 Merrill’s Mile 48 hour race. I had big goals for myself going into the race and, unfortunately, I did not achieve them due to unexpected complications during the race. I trained a lot for several months, so the result was quite disappointing.

After going through the event, we shifted focus to a running-related goal that Kerong has for 2026. I will likely record more short conversations with her in the future to check on her progress toward her goal.

Take a listen to this conversation to hear about how the race unfolded.
