Cec and Steph riff on the abundance of time after daylight savings. Do you feel like you never have enough? Or do you feel like you have too much? Remember that choice is abundant. Also, the people, places and the things that you love are abundant and there for you. So never forget that our relationship with time is but a mirror to our relationship with many other things. Here's a list of Cec and...

This is a throwback episode to a conversation that I had with Darius Sam from June of 2020. June of 2020, Darius had completed his first 100-miler and within 48 hours we had him on the mic recording the real story. And now, 2.5 years later, the New Yorker has recently released a documentary of what went into that project. By the way, since then he’s accomplished a 240 mile race in Moab that took 9...
