Farrell Hedrick and I both ran the Fargo Marathon in 2023. I stumbled across his Instagram ,@2run4, while reminiscing after the race and have since followed his crazy running adventures. This year alone he's run Houston Half, Miami Half, Tokyo Marathon, and is heading to the Eugene Marathon later this month. Oh, and three weeks before Tokyo he ran 26.2 miles on a treadmill at a Dallas Mav's game.

- How you can pronounce his name FAIR-EL or FUH-REL, he gets it both ways (I went with the first)
