 Diane and I are back doing podcasts and we are very happy to get back at it in 2025. Our first guest for the New Year is Lee Murphy from Nova Scotia. Lee loves running longer distances, Ultramarathons and Backyard Marathons are what get Lee going. We learn how Lee started running and how it has become addictive for him, far better than what Lee was addicted to earlier on in life. His running streak of 807 consecutive days of running 10 km or more is still going strong and we can't wait to see how many days Lee will go. Lee recently ran a Backyard Ultra in Edmundston for 68 consecutive hours and he won the event, amazing.
