I had started to get bored with just road running and Bryon's site gave me a glimpse at what else was out there! <br /><br />Also I ran my first 2 ultra's in a pair of shoes that I won in one of his contests! Now how cool is that?<br /><br />Thanks you guys for a great site and everyone else remember to support the site, cause we want to keep them around!MtUnpavedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384740213197733697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-29495133938748893102011-12-13T18:06:37.677-08:002011-12-13T18:06:37.677-08:00Great post AJW.

Gotta love that guy with his racing trail puggy.<br /><br />The AJW / Thornley banter is still some of the best stuff on the Internets too. <br /><br />Cheers, PaulPaul Charterishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831196294867106529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-50362147144371373832011-12-12T14:29:32.384-08:002011-12-12T14:29:32.384-08:00If Meghan and I both voted for each other than Meg...If Meghan and I both voted for each other than Meghan wins the non-iRF vote.

And I voted for Bryon!...Happyfaces for a tied poll. And I voted for Bryon!<br /><br />Oh gosh this post makes me want to go crawl in a cave of darkness so I can blush all alone. Thank you, AJW.<br /><br />Bryon is the iRF powerhouse, you know. He has amazing capacity for pulling all nighters and other feats of epic work that would send me into a vegetative state. <br /><br />If iRF was a wild West movie set, then think of Bryon as the building fronts and the gun show and me as the 2x4 framework that holds up the set. I feed Bryon well, edit stuff when he lets me, and swat him out the door if he needs a little extra motivation for a run.<br /><br />iRF and Bryon's dream wouldn't exist if it weren't for passionate and excitable runners, though, so thank you to the community for giving Bryon an outlet for all his energies!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994831420729922386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-67573166358702955482011-12-12T14:16:51.048-08:002011-12-12T14:16:51.048-08:00Great article Andy nad I for one are grateful of i...Great article Andy nad I for one are grateful of iRunFar. From a lay perpsective, I see 2 key events that has brought ultrarunning to the masses, firtsly the publication of Dean Karnazes book and secondly the iRunFar.<br /><br />If immitation is the best form of flattery, then I am happy to declare that our own website www.ultra168.com was modelled on Bryon's insight, speed and access to the world of ultrarunning. My colleagues and I regularly quote "We want to be the iRunFar of AsiaPac" or "What would Bryon do?" when debating certain stories and articles to publish.<br /><br />We certainly wait with baited breath for the next iRunFar post and the debate it often causes.<br /><br />Heres to an even more tweeted 2012<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />Marcus Warner<br /><br />www.ultra168.comUltra168https://www.blogger.com/profile/12757577777125715940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-60686288452478446012011-12-12T14:07:21.377-08:002011-12-12T14:07:21.377-08:00Andy,
