Graham summarizes his experience running the 2025 Little Rock marathon, his first time running it as a pacer (his seventh LR marathon overall); then, Michelle and Graham recap their running of the Chase Race 2-mile in Conway, Arkansas, on Saturday.

Graham capped last week's Valentine's Day 5K in Russellville with a personal record (PR) in the Run the Line half marathon on Sunday morning in Texarkana. This is Graham's 37th official half marathon and the fifth time he's participated in the Run the Line half in Texarkana. Graham explains why he loves this race, the medals, and why it's always wet every year he's done it. RTL is the fourth race of the Arkansas Grand Prix series, and speaking of, Michelle has officially signed up as a participant in the 2025 Grand Prix. Hear her thoughts on signing up, her goals, and what she expects of herself this running (and walking) season. All that and more on this week's episode of the TRDL podcast, presented by Rhino Races!

Graham starts the 2025 Grand Prix season with a busy schedule, pacing the Time Travel half marathon the day before the One Hour Track Run in Russellville, Arkansas. Graham ran with the 8:20/mile and under group during the track run. Did he hold his own against the elite runners there? He also got a PR at the River Trail 15K in North Little Rock on Saturday, besting last year's time by six minutes! After the race yesterday, Graham got together with his running club (and many others) for the 2024 Grand Prix awards ceremony. Up next for Graham: back to Russellville next weekend for the Valentine's Day 5K. As for Michelle, on top of law school, she's already signed up for three races this year and may be joining a very fun-themed run club soon! On top of that, her flower bed will have a very blue look to it in the spring. All that and more on this episode of the Tough Runs Don't Last podcast, presented by Rhino Races!

Graham and Michelle are back (to school, too) for another episode about running and life. They discuss treadmill running vs. outdoor running, and Graham gives us a preview of next weekend's events. He'll pace the Time Travel half marathon in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on Saturday; then, he'll travel to Russellville on Sunday for the One Hour Track Run, which is the first Grand Prix race of 2025. Also, both of your hosts are back in school, so listen to them talk about how they balance school, a full-time job and staying active. Bonus content: picks for Sunday's NFL playoff games!

With some time off till his next weekend of racing and pacing, Graham reflects on the coldest race he's ever done (as a pacer), and why it only took him a few minutes to decide to do it again in 2025. Graham will also compete in the 2025 Arkansas Grand Prix race series, starting with the 1-hour track run, the day after his breezy Time Travel half marathon pacing gig in North Little Rock at the end of the month. Michelle and Graham also discuss whether or not they'd attempt to climb Mount Everest. Graham reflects on the time he got lost hiking the Butterfield Trail at Devil's Den State Park outside of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the one time he was forced to go number two outdoors.

On this week's show, Graham and Michelle discuss what they've been up to lately (spoiler: not a lot), and talk about their experiences during the holidays, including running and (mostly) life/family stuff. They also do a quick review of the movie Boy Kills World, give a shout out to the Arkansas Razorbacks for winning the Liberty Bowl, and Graham officially signs up for the 2025 Grand Prix after saying over and over again that he wasn't going to participate. Happy New Year, y'all, from Michelle and Graham!

On the 2024 Christmas episode (by default), Graham recaps his first Grand Prix season, earning second place in his age group and becoming one of four Cabot Cruisers to finish with an Iron season. Michelle gets to relax after a long year of law school and work, and is still recovering from surgery. Speaking of surgery, your hosts' dogs happened to have the same type of surgery since our last episode, and both doggos got great news post-surgery! Graham talks about what's next for him, as far as running in 2024. Also, if you find a piece of mold on your bread, will you still eat it? And how is Michelle's fantasy football playoff run going? All that and more on this week's episode of the Tough Runs Don't Last podcast, presented by Rhino Races!

Graham capped his 2024 Grand Prix season with the 3 Bridges Marathon in Little Rock, Arkansas, solidifying his Iron Runner status in the process. He attempted a sub-4 marathon time, but his stomach had other ideas. He and Michelle celebrated with Hobby Lobby, Wright's BBQ, and Christmas lights at the state capital. Graham tells the audience what's next for him, as far as his running goals are concerned. Michelle earns a spot in the playoffs of their fantasy football league, despite having a full schedule with work and law school. Special guest appearances by Ferpa and Radley (mostly Ferpa).

Michelle and Graham are back after a two-week layoff. While Michelle works to finish another semester of law school, Graham looks to finish 2024 strong with a goal of running a sub 4-hour marathon next weekend in Little Rock at the Jacob Wells 3 Bridges Marathon. Graham also ran Cabot's local Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, and he's already increased his pacing schedule for 2025. Go figure. He also discusses his long-term running goals and some of the various half marathon clubs he's a part of.
