First rule of the Barkley Marathons: Don’t talk about the Barkley Marathons. This is the fight club of marathon runners. What a bunch of nuts! That being said, I totally LOVED this documentary. The entry fees alone are hilarious!
This marathon was inspired by a famous prison break, and it’s so hard, it’s only seen “10 finishers in its first 25 years.” It’s all about people who are looking to push themselves to their limits. It’s rad. Watch it.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

I watched this last week — it was super interesting and well done. It made me want to suffer, ha! There are lots of f-bombs, so just be aware of that if that bothers anyone.
