Guest Q&A: Kristi Bratton Read Time: 3 mins  Kristi Bratton is not only the ever so patient and supportive wife of HPM's head enabler, Adam, but she is also a seasoned mover and shaker in her own right! (check out HPM Short Film "CRUSHED IT!" or her previous Journal entitled "My Mount Marathon").
This past weekend while juggling a hectic schedule and logistics of a family vacation to Williamsburg, VA, she ran a 5K through Colonial Williamsburg. This wasn't just any old 5K, this was Kristi's 100th straight weekend of running at least 3.1 miles. In lieu of a finisher medal and a banana, Adam surprised her with a "100 & Fabulous" tiara and sash and some questions to learn more about this ongoing streak and to see what's next ... Guest Contributor: HPM Adventure Flag (Human Handler - Deanna Springall) Read Time: 5 mins  Hi everyone, I’m the HPM flag and I just returned from an amazing trek through parts of Uganda and Rwanda. In honor of the countries I visited, my temporary name - instead of the boring English word “flag” – is Ebendera (in Luganda, one of the Ugandan languages) or Ibendera (in Kinyarwanda language, one of the Rwandan languages). I’ll answer to either one!
Guest Contributor: Patrick McGrady Read Time: 4 mins  You've probably heard of the UTMB ... The 100+ mile trail race in Europe where people push their limit running a very long distance very fast. Not easy for us ordinary folk. Did you know that UTMB stands for Ultra Tour du Mont Blanc? The namesake, Mont Blanc is a mountain range that lies on the French, Italian and Swiss border. Chamonix, France is the most prominent town and primary start finish of this trail wraps around this range, stretching 103 miles with 30K+ elevation gain.
Guest Q&A: Thomas Lane Read Time: 4 mins  We just hosted/raged at Psychoactive this past weekend and once again, it was one for the absolute ages!! In it's 4th year, this Last Runner Standing Event continues to tip toe the line between a highly competitive running event and a carnival style social event that rivals the best running parties you could dream of. Each year, this community gathering gains more notoriety and draws people from all over the East Coast (2025 saw 10 states represented on the participant list). This year, we introduced a first timer to the Human Powered Movement community and he made quite the impact on me personally, and the rest of the psychotic field.
