Genuinely worried this was a comment about the urinal shot at first.

In 30 years of running I have won a grand total of £25 ($32)

63:47 10th place worth? Wow, that was a fast race. Congrats.

Good luck! I think it’s a really fun race distance

I would use that bowl as an ashtray for sure - maybe that’s why I’m slow 😂 Good job!!

"a holiday in there" "mini soda" ... dad jokes spotted. it is official. the kid is his. btw... this series is so fun to watch. i'm rooting for you.

I absolutely love this series keep it up!!

Love your videos! I am getting back into running after a long hiatus, and your video on training for a 5k is the best of many I've watched. You have an amazing sense of humor! I'm impressed that you can run a sub 2:20 marathon while working full time, commuting 1.5 hours per day, having a family, and doing whatever else life throws at you. I'm sure there is a solution out there for your calf issues. You could make it as a coach/merch seller/KZreadr in the vein of Nick Bester. Many marathoners have their best years in their 30s. Go for 2028 Olympic qualification. Looking forward to your next video. As a former D1 XC/track walk on, I loved that video too.

so cool to watch your adventure! You have a great attitude. Your daughter is adorable ! Congratulations ! great race!

Why is no one talking about how freaking cute you daughter is? She is adorable.

Love this series! Can’t wait for the next race!

Really cool series. You're super fun to watch (and crazy fast!)

Runner here. Love this series. Gives good perspective on what it actually takes to make a living as a pro runner, how difficult it is, and just how fast some of you people are. Always looking forward to the next one.

Congrats, can't wait till your next race.

Another banger. Complete with a guest appearance at the end! Well done and keep up the great work!

Let’s go! I love this series! Great effort from you, good video and funny too!

Congrats on the PB! This series is so fun to watch.

nice job!! and the ending was awesome 😊

Really enjoying this series! Keep it up.

Gary bjorkland was actually a local runner from proctor who set the mn mile record multiple times with a final time around 4:02 and represented the us in the 1976 Olympics also he’s a drunk driver 😅

nice job, 63 minutes is crazy! your daughter is very cute :)

This series is so fun 😅

Awesome series!

Yessir! Was there for the weekend and ran my first marathon. Cheers!

I am really hoping he shows a comparison of what he won vs what he spent (race fees, travel, etc.). I would be interested to see what the net result would be.

Man, Luis Orta! :o

Yooo the urinal b-roll is wild

That trophy looks like an old school ash tray. Lol.

at the beginning finish line part you had to do the jason tatum we did it 😭

Plus 1 for the carbonation gold

Honestly a nice bowl you actually use sounds a lot better to me than another bland runners trophy collecting dust on a shelf 😅

I feel like someone told the kids about carb loading

Cmon if you were born in MN you need to learn your running history. Garry Bjorkland was an olympian from MN and a 2:10 marathoner. ;)

I talk about it in the first video, but I'm not counting any expenses or stipends from races for the sake of this challenge - just winnings. But I'll do a breakdown analysis at the end of the series and take a look at that

Only money I ever won was 5 dollars on the floor 😭

Its so sad that you can still so little money from money, especially when I think how much time you put in, your talent and dedication... 10k a year, thats a joke! And I wonder why, the running community wordlwide is soooo big :(

I’m so sorry you weren’t able to start at the front for your local half marathon. I bet that really made things tough for you. And to think, you could have spent .4 seconds less in the rain if you had gotten that front spot at the start.

From the result list it show that you are 10th…. Anyway cash money is a good thing to tally up your goal for $10,000😊…. So 11th place get no money ? 😂😂😂
