@_Cooney_ I so wish this were real, but the flowers are absolutely not hosta flowers. There are no hosta leaves with those colors, either. Beautiful creation, though!

My 2024 Race Schedule is up! 40 races, including 9 marathons and 9 ultramarathons in eight states and four countries, with race distances from 1 to 200 miles: ultrageezer.com/2024-schedule

I’ll have another chance at the record in two weeks at the Chicago Marathon. #UltraGeezer

I ran the streets of Berlin today on a quest to break the 28-year-old M75 American marathon record. The finish line was in sight with just enough time to spare and then a cramp struck with just 300 yards to go. Finished in 3:18:23, 13 seconds shy of the record.

...had he been in the 12-hour. He also became the first American ever to complete 100k on a track but his record only lasted until I became the second.

A debrief on the Dawn To Dusk to Dawn Track Ultras - a race around a track from 7pm Saturday night to 7am Sunday morning! my.raceresult.com/244121/ I ran the 12-hour event, and it was possibly the hardest race I've ever done

At 75, Gene Dykes (@TheUltraGeezer) hopes to become oldest @wser finisher: runningmagazine.ca/trail-running/…
