Above all, if you're not going to enjoy it, don't bother. It's an awful long way, and an awful long time to be miserable.

JD Hixson enjoys running awfully long ways for awfully long times over awfully rugged terrain.
He was originally trained as a classical musician, with master and doctoral degrees from The Juilliard School, decades of performance experience with many of the best conductors in the world, and a CV listing groundbreaking recordings produced, virtuosic solos performed and notable orchestras conducted to artistic and critical acclaim in many of the finest concert halls in the world. Eventually, however, he discovered greater fulfillment out in nature going long distances in his running kit than on gilded stages in a tuxedo and more profound happiness covered in mud than choking in the seemingly requisite and cloying fog of Chanel No. 5 at interminable champagne receptions.
He is currently training for Rat Race’s next 113km THE WALL along Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England.
