December 12, 2016 By Joel Runyon 5 Comments

chicago-50k

As you might have noticed, 777 is back on planned to finish before my 30th birthday. After what happened the last time, I didn't want to speak before I started doing stuff (if you want the backstory, you can read that here and how I'm getting back on my feet here). Sometimes, you ned to climb a mountain and tell no one. Just do it for you. So that's what I did. Last month, I quietly did the Chicago Ultra 50k race to kick things off. No lead ...

How Impossible Fits Together

November 26, 2016 By Joel Runyon 3 Comments

One of the questions I get asked is: How does all of your stuff fit together? Another question phrased differently is: It seems like you have a lot going on – so what exactly have you built, and how does it all fit together? Great question :) Ever since I started the blog, I wanted to have my own business. I was broke and in my parent's basement and had no hope to actually know what that means, but over the last 6 years, I somehow ended up with ...
