A short film about remodeling an old shed into an office for my wife, and about other things too. For reasons that will be obvious fairly immediately, this is not a "how-to" video.

I'll give it a shot, but I feel like this is also a recipe for pooping your pants on a run. I like to live dangerously.
I would advise against drinking it before a run but let me know how it goes
Yeah I love the sound of this smoothy, but can we please discuss the enviable boombox collection? The one top left I'm 99% sure I had back in the day.
When I finally digest all my feelings about them, I'll get a story put together ...
Love the boom box collection. That seems like a story for another time.
It totally is-been sitting on it for years, literally
Another absolute belter of a video from the wonderful creative mind of Brendan Leonard. This resonates very true with me.
I come from Flo’s podcast. Loved your interview there. So now I’m here, and just bought this book.
You should make an Audio Book =)
I’m from Missoula. Still have family there. Need to do this.
I picked up the book after watching this. A little help from an Indiana resident, Ray Yoder's home town is pronounced GO-shen, like GO read my new book. Just trying to help :) Thanks for making great content!
thanks for the correction! Will fix that if I end up recording an audiobook version
Chiming in to request an audiobook version so I can listen while running (sometimes Ultra distances)
Perfect!
Downloaded the ebook from the Patreon link. Can't wait to read it. Here I felt like I was robbing you blind at $3 a month BEFORE getting a free book.
I am abso-bloomin-loving this book! I am relating; hard. I am laughing; hard. I am, for the first time proper, considering an ultra; soft.
Very good.
Here from Floris. Looking forward to reading Ultra Something this summer.
SUBBED. BECAUSE I SAW YOUR INTERVIEW IN FLORIS GEHRMAN'S PAGE. Thank you so much Brendan. Your interview is by far the most HUMAN compared all these running channels that I have seen on here... with all the STATS, PRs, Physiological Hacks, Overdosing on Maurten Gels before a 5k. Etc. You bring back How Running should be fundamentally FUN
ah thank you! I'm just happy to be out there
Love your emails and content. Saw the book release and was thinking…okay I’m interested. Watched the trailer and was thinking…I’m more interested. Saw the clip of OU football players in the trailer and was like…take my money. Ultra running, humor, OU football…Ordering now!
That was pretty rad 😉
Good luck!
Loved this! Dropping a comment for engagement - when audiobook?
Any plans to release an audiobook version?
I'm not hyperbolizing when I say this is one of the best youtube videos I've ever watched. Honestly so many layers, covering life's most important moments.
Why don't you create a font of your hand writing?
Been reading your stuff for years. I hereby apologize for assuming your handwriting was just some font you’d selected and were typing out. Keep up the great content. Looking forward to your new book too!
I think the handwritten is more engaging and easier to read! And now it’s your signature style.
I loved this. So sorry about Rowlf. The shed turned out awesome!
Austin, TX. There's a lot of runners down here.
Genuinely, thank you for all the effort you put into Thursday posts! And those weeks where there are lots of panels are extra special (like this week). I can imagine you might occasionally question the 'return' on the time spent on them. Add one very happy person to the pile (which I suspect is a fairly big pile of beings).
I’ve read that writing by hand engages different neuron circuits than typing. Anything that engages any part of my brain in a new or different way is a good thing after chunks of it were destroyed by chemo, so I hand write and draw in my journals - even if I can’t read my own writing later sometimes. I have Procreate and I find it very frustrating and it never occurred to me to try handwriting with it so that’s something new to try. I agree with the “love the sharing of the process” comments!
Thanks for sharing your process, good stuff! Handwritten triggers a different part of the brain, I've heard. The same reason I still draw my animations starting with pencil and paper.
Sorry I’ll miss you in Portland, have a good tour!
Love this kind of ‘behind the artist’ stuff. Are you lowkey becoming a UA-cam-er?
The first writing I was ever paid for was independent comic books. And as cool as it was seeing scripts illustrated, lettering brought it all together. I'm still friends with some letterers after almost 35 years, and I always appreciate and love your lettered bits on Instagram and Outside.
Can't read the element descriptions but I assume it's SemiRad's usual witty and pointed banter
im wondering out dua lipa videos got me to this but cool shed. nice work!
I liked the video but did you ask 87 questions because you are 87 years old?
shoutout to Floating Action in the soundtrack! One of my all time favorite bands.
this is probably the only 15-minute video about a SHED that I will ever use to happily procrastinate getting to work in the morning. lovely storytelling, as always.
Looks great! Now I'm more motivated to update my own shed for the same purpose. Thanks a lot?
Loved this interview: fun insightful questions, great thoughtful answers. What a good guy. My favorite reply: "Those are the distances that mean I can go a little bit slower and be out a little bit longer, and that’s the type of stuff I enjoy." As an older runner who switched from road to trail a couple years ago, this is exactly how I feel. I want to be outside enjoying nature as long as possible. Thanks for this!
Incredible work. And a pretty cool shed, too.
......and sorry about your beautiful dog. Been there, as have most of us. Never easy, but I know you gave that dog a loving and good life. AND, congratulations on the arrival of Jay. So many more adventures await you and your wife. CHEERS AGAIN!
Darn it Brendan.......totally impressive!! Soon enough, you will have Jay to assist you with such projects. I have to say, the fifteen minutes you took out of my life to view this "journey" was so very much worth it. Just know that your efforts are appreciated by many. CHEERS!
Great job, great video, great perseverance, great act of love!
Love is a Brother printer that will never let you down. I have that same one. But seriously what a momentous video in your family history. So much is happening. RIP Rolf.
I loved this. What a gift.
This was amazing and I get exactly what you shared about relationships. Your choice of background music and your storytelling skills are fantastic. When you move that desk in, and she reaches out to your elbow and looks at you with that smile on her face shows how much she loves you, and that she knows how much you love her. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
I wish all the world's joy to you and your family! :) Thank you for sharing the project
When you love someone you find yourself doing all sorts of laborious tasks just waiting for them to say they love them. I’ve been married for 49 years I know a few things.
