The Running Game Show was an idea I had many years ago after I overheard a person calling runners boring. And I thought, well if we only give them panels about nutrition and mileage then yeah, I guess you could see it that way. But as you have shown me, you also have a great sense of humor!

The game show has accomplished the 3 major things:

- Give runners a place to relax, laugh, and forget about their race day nerves while SITTING
- Give us all the chance to get to know the ASICS professional team. These pros are typically only ever asked about their training and they are so much more than that.
- Give back to the cities we visit. Through ticket and merch sales, we were able to donate more than $14,000 this year to local food banks and other charities. Much of that is due to the generosity of ASICS for designing and printing the shirts and eating the cost.

I’m so incredibly grateful to the comics, pros, and friends who have been contestants. They often say ‘yes’ before they even know what they are agreeing to. And of course, to my first love in the running world, @asics . For understanding that community can be built in a dark room of laughing people. Comedy has never been more important and yes, even us boring runners deserve to have it.

To all of you who attended the Laugh Track Tour this year, thank you 🙏. I hope you had as much fun as me.

Dare I ask…where should we go next year??

ADOPTED! Rosebud (Rosie) is the newest addition to our family!

We fostered…we failed…

This little angel was found near Bakersfield when she was just 8 weeks old and has been looking for her forever home for almost 2 years. When I saw that @thelabellefoundation needed urgent fosters I stepped in to be a “short term” foster. Oopsie daisy! SHE TRICKED US BY BEING THE MOST AFFECTIONATE DOG ON THE PLANET. 😭😭😭

Her and @shangethedog get along so well. Rosie is the Pinky to Shangie’s Brain.

We highly recommend fostering! You might just fall in love…

Thank you @thelabellefoundation 💛💛💛

Incredibly fun night featuring for the hilarious @mattobrien at @thecomedyclubatduckworths! 🎭

Audience was great, @pazsoldan_jorge crushed the hosting duties, and vibes were strong throughout on a Sunday night.

Nickelback was a random topic of conversation all evening so enjoy this “photograph” of three comics living like “rockstars” and having a blast. 🙌
