Lollipop 240 Fastest Know Time (FKT) | This Is NOT a Running Podcast Ep. 003

I did it! I completed the longest, toughest challenge I've taken on so far, and it was an amazing adventure that I will cherish forever. It took me over a week to process the magnitude of my accomplishment, and in this episode I discuss the entire route, including the good, bad, and ugly.

Fortunately, though there were many challenges faced along the way, I maintained a positive attitude and can say that almost all of the time I spent completing this fastest known time (FKT) was done with a smile on my face and gratitude for what I am capable of.

This will be the first video in a 2 part series, with this one being more discussion based, and the next being a full and structured race video like my others, where I take you on a side by side journey from start until finish.
