Daily Bread- Out of the Deep July 26, 2017I scanned the water intently, on alert for signs of trouble.

- Not a Sprint July 23, 2017In 1983, a sixty-one-year-old potato farmer named Cliff Young showed up for a grueling, weeklong ultramarathon from Sydney to Melbourne—in overalls and work boots. He shuffled off the starting line as the much younger and athletic runners sprinted ahead. Soon he was miles behind. Spectators feared for his health.
