💾The Boys Are Back! In this post holiday, episode, the boys and I discuss everything from dogs to race plans to bathroom re-remodels. Get to know about our plans for races and training in 2026 (likely to change by the next episode LOL), and get to hear to story of precious Hoka, aka TT, Erik's beloved little furry friend who he recently had to say goodbye to.

Get to know about our plans for races and training in 2026 (likely to change by the next episode LOL), and get to hear to story of precious Hoka, aka TT, Erik's beloved little furry friend who he recently had to say goodbye to. And I would be remiss not to acknowledge what is going on in my precious city of Minneapolis. I can only say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me...to us. These are my neighbors, my friends and my community that is so affected. We are strong, we will stand together, we will get there. But now, it's time for a little distraction and banter. Who knows, it might even have you digging for that old pair of Under Armour running shoes.

💾My first trail race of 2025! The Zumbro 34 Mile Endurance Run, put on by Rocksteady Running. It was a great day and grand experience…well except for my darn knee, who decided that 17 miles was plenty 🤣. Oh well, had a fabulous time, loved exploring this amazing area and made some new trail friends to boot. Thank you to John, Dave and Molly for being part of my day and the film.

💾THE YOUTUBE FOREST: The idea for this film was super simple: make a video that says ‘all money from this video will go to planting trees’, then take that money- as promised, and plant trees. This film is the follow up film where the money has been raised and the trees get planted. A bunch of people, most of which I’ve never met, plant a bunch of trees. It is, I have to say, a super satisfying project- turning my YouTube audience into a force for good.
