   Angkor Wat at Sunrise

   Dirt trails, the solitude of the forest, running through the monks’ breakfast fire smoke drifting toward the elephants, carved onto the temple wall centuries ago. Young monks in saffron robes sweep the dirt with brooms. Passengers through the world’s largest religious complex, the temple towers—inspired by Mount Meru of Hinduism— a compass needle transiting us through eras of long ago when countless thousands labored to build this monument for the ages. Hours of lost sleep losing all meaning as we realize the only thing which truly matters is the here, the now, the power of this timeless place powering our steps forward. Radiating sun pulling us up.

   Reuniting with Thom

   “Thooooommm!” We revisited the West Gate in the ancient city of Angkor. We found at the very least Thom’s relatives. I just cannot say for certain we found Thom himself. After 2 years away (see earlier video in Vegan Marathoner), we made our triumphant return to the gated walls of Angkor Thom. Photo Above: Running through the Gate of the Dead (“Ghost Gate”). CAMBODIA—-there’s just nothing like it anywhere else in the world. More videos to come. Many thanks and much appreciation to Wang Chengye for making the vids, and for putting up with my shenanigans.

   Vegan Marathoner Podcast--Episode 2

   WELCOME! In the second-ever Vegan Marathoner Podcast, we are meeting Top and Rose Taylor, in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Top is a United States Marine, having served in both the Korean War and Vietnam War. He was then a longtime Marine Corps Junior ROTC instructor and coach as well as legendary cross country and track coach at Louisville’s Seneca High School*. He coached me from 1993-96. Top’s influence is a major reason I am still running today. Top ran cross country for Louisville’s Shawnee High School. He continued running for decades and is known today for typically wearing cotton racing shirts from the 1980’s & ‘90’s. Rose is a Master’s runner extraordinaire who at one point held 4 regional records in the Kentuckiana area (Kentucky and southern Indiana region). 2 of her records still exist and are posted on the running board hall of fame at the Iroquois Park racing course, in South Louisville. She also won her age group in a National Master’s Cross Country Championship. Rose helped cheer me on in most if not all of my cross country races from 1993-96. Right alongside my Papaw. TWO NOTES RELATING TO THE SHOW: * Yared Nuguse is the Louisville athlete named whose name we could not think of off the bat. He was Kentucky State Champion in cross country, before going on to run for Notre Dame and then won a bronze medal in the 1500m in the Paris Olympics ‘24. * Bobby Curtis is the runner from Louisville’s St. X high school who won 19 (!) Kentucky State Championship titles in track and cross country. He went on to run for Villanova—winning the 2008 NCAA 5000m title—before going pro. Our time with Top & Rose is great, but I’d also like to include you in the convo… **What stories would you like to tell about your running? **Where are your favorite places to run?

   Shanghai Marathon--Unreleased Vid & Pics

   Hey Friends, Just a quick post with some video & pics from the December 1st Shanghai Marathon. I wasn’t registered, but ran alongside Chengye from this point on the course—the 23km mark—to the 41st kilometer (total marathon is 42.2km.). Beautiful conditions that day—cooler than usual for this race, and better organized from what I’ve heard. Shanghai has applied to become the 8th of the World Marathon Majors. Let’s see if our city here gets it—— Jia you! Add oil! ~Kyle This is a public episode.

   As Disney Legend Marty Sklar’s book advises, “Dream It,! Do It!” Join me for a whirlwind video tour of this 50k run (31 miles) around Hong Kong Disney Resort. Truth be told, I had not planned to do this the week before running up Shanghai Tower. But the FitFam November Challenge had to be completed at some point, and time was running thin. And what better place and time than while staying at Hong Kong Disneyland? Looking forward to hearing from you all—-What is a DREAM you have?
