25th Anniversary of the Gulf War

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Gulf War (sadly, we have to specify which one-the Desert Storm one, but the part where we started bombing to impel the retreat of Iraqi troops from Kuwait). I am recapping some of my print, paint, performance, installation, etc. that directly addresses or was inspired by these […]

Finishing the Marathon & 3 Million Meters in 30 Yards

Kevin Valentine finished his 3 Million Meters

challenge with 4 days to spare at the Illinois Marathon on May 26th. Lots of lessons learned. Winter can be harder than expected (and snowier and colder and icier). More to come after a rethink/reboot/rest and after midterm grades are done. Thanks to all for your support! […]

Less than 1 Month to Go

With less than on month to go, Kevin has reached 2,765,497 meters. Just over 145 miles to go by the end of April. I should make the goal of running, if not fundraising. And I’m getting ready to start a re-imagined 3 Million Meters as a community of endurance-minded people.

7 Weeks Left: 3 Million Meters

With 7 weeks left and just under 300 miles left, Kevin needs to average about 42 miles/week until the end of April and the Illinois Marathon in Champaign, IL.
