Welcome back or welcome to the Singletrack podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and before we get started, I wanted to pay our respects to Megan Kimmel. Earlier today, just before recording, we learned of her tragic passing. She was just 45 years old. We don't know any of the details. No official cause of death has been disclosed. But for those that followed the sport closely, especially in the 2010s, you know of her illustrious career among many other accolades. She was the two-time winner of the Broken Arrow 46K, a Pikes Peak Marathon champion, a TNF 50 San Francisco champion, Marathon du Mont Blanc champion, Sky Racing champion, among many other contributions. She'll be remembered as one of the most talented and decorated and influential mountain runners of the decade, for sure. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. We are back. This is the 40th, that's right, four zero, the 40th edition of the Long Run Archives, joined by friends, colleagues, Brett Hornig, Jeff Colt. Brett, how are you doing today?
