After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100
Yeah, maybe? What got me wasn’t her time, but seeing all the men pacing her. Some of the best male runners in the world, not out there for themselves, but totally locked in to support her. The expression on Grant Fisher’s face, the whole time, omg. That somehow broke and healed me, all at once
I can’t explain to my husband and son why I started crying so hard when I watched Faith Kipyegon’s record attempt.

Peekaboo, Lexie
The expression on her face is the best thing I will see all day
Thank you! I was thinking of you and your speedy son
Will and I made a cake to celebrate his PR in the 3200m at yesterday’s track meet. We watched the new Jasmin Paris documentary the night before his race, and he said, “That’s what I’m going to be thinking of when I run.” #BM100
In March 2024, Jasmin Paris made history as the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, touching the yellow gate with just 1:39 to spare.
"The Finisher" follows her three-year journey, featuring insights from legends like Lazarus Lake, Jared Campbell, Courtney Dauwalter, and more.

Will says no one has ever finished with a Loop 1 split over 10 hours. #BM100
“It’s a bit slow but they still have a chance of finishing,” says Will R-S, the 15 year old Barkley analyst who will one day be out there, ripping pages out of books
I am rooting for Claire Bannwarth. Even if it’s a red herring and she isn’t really doing the Barkley. I’m just rooting for her, always 🇫🇷 #BM100
A couple French runners and Back to the Future guy are through the Fire Tower. #BM100
The first runner has come through the Fire Tower in ~ 7:00 hours, over an hour slower than last year. #BM100
After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

Petting a dog is always nice ☺️ But he was huuuuge. And it made me glad Matilda is tiny 🐾
I got to pet a golden retriever today, so there’s that
Oh yes. I think Froyo is still a thing but he and his friends prefer getting an Auntie Anne’s pretzel. There’s also a gym at the mall that youths can use for only a dollar entry fee. What a great deal!
If you need some wholesome content on your timeline. I just took my 15 year old son to the mall. Because he and his friends wanted to hang out there today. So that is a thing youths still do 🩵
My son wants to meet him! So incredible!! Congrats again
WOW!! Incredible! Congrats to him and you!
Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie, for exactly that reason
Awww please hug and kiss her a little extra for me 🩵
