Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power  ~ Abraham Lincoln

January 2019 update:  Kicked off the year with TWO ultras on TWO different continents – neither being North America.  2019: YEAR of the ULTRA marathon.   Life-to-date tally EIGHT – gonna DOUBLE that figure by year-end.  OORAH!

Training miles way down past 2 months – December injury-riddled, January xtreme travel.  Find myself 200 miles short with only four quick months ‘til Memorial Day (Challenge Finale).  Yikes!  Seems improbable – but January, today, we celebrate.

SIX continents, 45 states x2, 6 Canadian provinces.  Whatta journey!

Race ReCap:  second place finishes in TWO Southern HEMISPHERE locations – Punta Arenas CHILE & King George Island ANTARCTICA ❄️   Dare to DREAM!

Marathoning Streak:  62 months; EVERY month, FIVE+ years.

Mileage ReCap:  ended January at 1326 miles (201 miles behind GOAL)

[Race Organizer] Steve Hibbs:  Never been in a movie trailer before.  Until now.  My race, The White Continent 50k, Marathon & Half-Marathon (2017) was featured in a new documentary on Antarctica called The Unknown Life of Antarctica.  The film has its world premiere on February 18, 2019 in New York City.
