Peter and Bryan wrap up their 2026 Chaugust experiences. The month was full of runs, ice cream, books, journaling, and no bread. Then we dial up the voice memos and hear from Soggy Rob, Laurie from Maine, Mary from Maine, Mark Rayburn, and Marathon George Woodward.

We are in week 2 of Chaugust and time to check in on our progress.

Peter is not eating bread but is eating 31 different flavors of ice cream while completing his 5k a day. Bryan forgot his big book about the Constitution to read while on vacation but is making up for it by getting all his runs in. And both admit that the journaling needs to stay a priority, as it is the secret to a successful Chaugust.

Plus messages and voice memoooooos from Judy, Evan, and of course, Mary from Maine.
