Another FPP subject drops by to say hello July 1, 2013 12:44 AM Subscribe
So we learned about Eric Strand in this post as the crazy person who woke up at 3am to run the Grandma's Marathon course in Duluth backwards before turning around and running it forwards with his son and a friend. What made his video so post worthy is the gosh-darned cheery good time he was having as he did this.
So, he dropped by to thank us and to let us know he's training for the Leadville 100.

Sorry quidnunc, I tried but I put you at the bottom of the form by accident instead.

So infectiously cheery. I'm starting to suspect Eric has invented an Anti-Snark Ray of some kind. Thanks Slarty Bartfast.

If by Leadville he means Leadville, Colorado....that is where the esteemed Ralph was born.

He's infectious with his enthusiasm! Also, I love a race that doesn't take itself too seriously and hands out beer on the route.
