This was one of our more ambitious adventures that we have ever had in Mexico. Renting a car for the first time in Mexico and attempting to run 100km (62 miles) through the mountains of Mexico.
It didn't go the way I wanted it to. It stings to fail, to have quit, and to then upload that experience for the world to see. But in failures we have the opportunity to learn and grow and that is exactly what I plan on doing from this experience.

In turning around you did the right thing….always follow your instincts….its your guardian angle telling you what to do.
Dude, so you and Hilary are why we live in lake Chapala these last four years. And now, you make me at 67:years old, want to start running again. For your mountain climbing run, makes me want to do it. Thank you, dad to be, for taking care of yourself. Your family awaits a healthy padre!
That's awesome!
Greg so proud of you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I was wearing my gallo shirt today ❤ Love to see Hillary’s pancita!
We love this videos! 🎉🎉🎉🥳
You guys are wonderful cheerleaders for each other! You were so right to turn back, Greg. Like you said, you know your body and you acknowledged that something wasn't right, we are all proud of you! Looking forward to the next video, but you have to promise to not make us wait long to see your daughter.
Greg you still a young man full of wisdom and grit. You inspire me bro. Keep pushing yourself and sharing with the world. Ánimo!
Thanks for the inspiration Greg. I've been walking a lot lately and this really motivates me. Much Blessings!

Way to go Greg! 👏👏 Not many people have it in them to do what you did so be extremely proud of yourself.
Man!!! I was thinking to do the same …. Keep it up man 👏🏽 one of this day am going to do the same
You are a WINNER Greg 😊This was a very difficult trail. I am a runner as well. Running in Mexico even in flat terrain is so hard on it’s own. Imagine such a challenging trajectory such as the one you had! Like I said, you are definitely a winner. I can’t wait to hear your life update. I have been thinking about you and Hillary a lot. Hillary looks happy and healthy. We are so blessed to be part of this.❤
You did great, Greg. You are in excellent shape and you know your body so you did the right thing. It wasn't failure. It was just one more step towards success. Hillary, you're looking good. Looking forward to the life update.
Your amazing Greg! You did great! Your going to be an amazing father!
I agree!! Lucky kid
Like how positive you both are to eachother
What an incredible accomplishment. The heat, the elevation, the climb....wow! I hope you are proud of what you did!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! KK, you two continue to be positive motivators for all of us! You did an amazing run that day! Your support of one another is incredibly cool to watch and see. So glad you have plans to give us another video soon. People that know me, recognize one of my favorite sayings. We can make plans, but we can't plan the results. You both know how to take the best and leave the rest in order to continue excelling in life. ¡Sigue!
Kudos to you Greg! That was impressive. No failure there only learning for the next one. I can't even imagine attempting that type of run or heck any run for that matter. You gave it everything you had. Wow.
Dude, don't feel down. You went till your body said that was enough. Nothing but respect. IDK guera, i can say the same about snowbirds here in Phoenix
HI Guys, is GREAT to see you!!! Gregg, you SHOULD BE VERY PROUD that you even showed up for that race. I have learned in my life that in FAILURE there is always a lesson. La Guerita looks MUY PRECIOSA. Congratulations you and Hillary deserve it. Hasta luego.
You Crazyo!! I have done climbing and it is the same feeling. lack of oxygen. heat. It is the lesson for next one. do not give up on the training and be safe.
What a great video, Greg!! You made a humbling, mature and wise decision to turn around. GOOD GOING, Ace!! I don't think there was a smidge of failure in your race. You succeeded in my book because you spent allllll that time training, and you had the courage and grit to start and tackle a good portion of the race. You finished with everything in tact - your mind, your body, and your spirit. God knows what could have happened if you hadn't stopped at the point you did. I like to think there are no mistakes in life, just opportunities for growth and learning. How sweet to have Hillary be there for you too. You guys are going to be awesome parents!
Hillary -- you look beautiful! Really, your face, skin, glowing. Greg, altitudes are tough, Man! I went from living at sea level to living at 7,000 and there was an very real adjustment (sickness, headache, nosebleeds) period. No question you made the right decision, that baby needs his/her Dad. And the 'Hillary driving in Mexico Lesson' was funny and true :)
All the best to you and yours 🌿💚 🌿
WOW, I loved this video!! Greg you made a hard decision but the BEST one! At the end of the day we must respect and listen to our body. Like you said, there are good lessons learned here and I am impressed!!! I am so impressed with your attitude and your character in all of this. Can't wait to see the update from you guys:)
HILLARY!!!! That baby bump xoxoxoxox Heat, humidity, elevation, thoughts. Glad you left. A person who can leave the race half way is the strongest of them all. "Today's win," think of that every day JHC...that wasn't failure, it was another huge lesson. Just as you both continue to learn about life as we all do

Your effort is the reward my friend...
No shame in dropping out Goyo :) When you feel it you feel it. I recall when I was Infantry in the Army we did like 3 times a year a 25 mile road march (with my weapon, 60lb ruck pack and with combat boots) and it sucked, wanted to quit but I just couldn't. I think it was definitely your training that was not adequate for this type of race. Good luck on your next race :)
Altitude is no joke. I have experienced that mysterious debilitating force myself. That you went as far as you did is quite a feat! I couldn’t make it past 4 miles!
You did great! 🎉
Congrats to both of you, yall a great couple and no doubt about it that yall will be amazing parents and give your baby lots of love ❤️ 💕
Hahaha, The last part is so true of driving in Mexico, if you put your blinkers that’s the signal to the car in the other lane to block you from moving to “his” lane, driving is so different than in Texas…
Great seeing y’all again. Keep your head up Greg you’ll get it next time.
You came back! Guuuuuuud. Good to see you both again
Greg, there are days like these, but these kind of days are the ones with the most amount of learnings, so, it was a good experience and for sure a lot to learn, there will be always more times to try it again, cheers!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo Greg! You are so brave! The most important part was that you try it! The hot weather and the altitude affects your body! Anyway you are a Champion! Congrats 🎈🎉! Keep safe you and Hilary! Hugs 🤗
Boy, you did good - give yourself some grace!
Welcanbak chicos ❤❤
Come over to Ajijic and climb with the hiking club. We'll get you up to the race trail on the ridge and you can practice on Chupinaya. The PAPALOTE TRAIL AXIXIC 2023 happens on 8 October. The race is only 24K, but great place to practice steep climbs. If you want longer stretches there are some that would accept the challenge and lead you.
There are some amazing athletes from this area running these races in the mountains ⛰️
Kennonitos! Amazing Greg, 👍 so much respect ✊ hi Hillary❤
Hillary!!!!! We've been waiting to see the baby bump.! You look amazing. Congratulations to you both. 🎈🍼🧃👏🌮🐣
Hillary, about the driving in Mexico rant, I'm a trucker (23 years driving)here in the good 'ol us of A, do you really want me to start about the idiots in here?!?!
😂
Just be safe and enjoy the country!!
I think at the end you summarized what happened well, l would add the heat. Also the value here is that you tried, more than if you did not finish. The next thing is to assess what happened and what is the learning here, which you did Greg, next time you will do better.
7:25 I recognize a Kingdom Hall when I see it 😉
Goyito eres the best!!
Respect to you goyo!
Greg the altitude affects us immensely. When you get lower you will feel better.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤯🦸no manches güero qué chingón ya eres mexicano de verdad mis respetos 👊🤜
It's good that you listened to your body. One day I was on a bicep machine with plates and I was thinking "no pain, no gain" Next thing I ripped several bicep tendons, they felt like rubber bands snapping. I didn't listen to my body. Since then (2009) my bicep has looked weird (but my forearm took over and it's huge since then)
This video was cool, I hope to the next one
Yea the look on your eyes when your explaining how you feel you can see that your not yourself good call on turning around.
It is hot in Texas too! Will try the coffee. I am always looking for something new.
Greg, great adventure.. and yes to do that you have to train at heights.. Do you a test to make sure you don't have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).. Wish you both all the best..
My friend i love you guys
I get dizzy just walking down to my corner store😂
😂🤣😆😅😂😅😆🤣 ya son muy mexicanos,ya aprendió a manejar 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 eso güera
100 km WOW 😮
Long time no see Greg and Güerita linda, I still have to catch up watching your videos when you both were in Europe and then in Thailand? 😂And now you're both back in Mexico? Great seeing your strength and stamina is intact and meanwhile Güerita is eating for two. Love you guys, 👍and 👋greetings from Querétaro.🤠
You once said while visiting Queretaro, that if you ever had a child , you would want to raise it in Queretaro. Are you planning to live there now? I know, that was a long time ago
Wow I've missed you guys. I remember you've done that race before. Good Luck
For the next time come and train in Tepoztlán, Morelos. When my husband was younger (like your age… many moons ago), he and his cuñado would run up and back down the Tepozteco at least a few times a week. Great fitness plan! I think you guys climbed that once. 2.1 miles trail with 1200 ft elevation gain. Altitude at the top is a bit over 2000 meters. And I’ll bake some fresh homemade bread for Hilary! 😊
🫶🏽 I had been patiently waiting for this video ever since you had shared that you were going to run a 100K. As a runner, I totally understand the ego part of it, but there will be plenty more races in your future i’m sure. Next time you’ll take this DNF and crush it. 💪🏼 Congrats on all the training & marathon completion though 🎉🥳🏅
Dude!! Don’t be to hard on yourself. It was arrogance, just inexperience with a run like. UOU and Hilary always do your homework, you always do your training. That was a BRUTAL course at an elevation you are not used to and add excessive high heat and I am SO glad you heeded the warning signals of your body and you turned around. To ignore them and continue and possibly become very or dangerously sick? THAT would have been arrogance. Keep approaching life the way you do cause you’re doing it right.
Excitedly waiting to hear how Hilary is doing and how you are both imagining the future as a family. Thanks for being the people you are and for sharing your adventures and experiences. Because I’m great part to the two of you, we finally made our move and live in La Paz. The only gringos on our street and are making friends with our wonderful Mexican neighbors. Vive Mexico! 🇲🇽🌮☀️🌴🌊
Luckily no one judges you over there, safety first.
The pain on the legs 😮
Animo Greg
GREG YOU LOOK LIKE GENERAL ZOD FROM THE MOVIE MAN OF STEEL THE NAME OF THE ACTOR IS michael shannon
You got the potato chips 😂the vest
NO ENTENDI NATING TERMINASTE LA CARRERA? O ERA CORRER Y CORRER Y CADAQUIEN PARA SU CASA.
You can’t be a kind driver in Los Angeles. It’s just the way it is.
Who's gonna carry the boats! And the logs!
need to train at higher altitude!! proper training my friend. know you know learn and reset.
🤘🤘🤘
No existen los fracasos se llaman experiencias
IF YOU train at sea level, there in monterreal its veri high, maybe you get sick about lack of oxygen
Greg litle greg jr will be proud of you when he watches today's video
you still a winer my friend keep going
I think you meant winner not winer🤣

I blame the heatwave going around.
i would say you had heat stroke Bud.
What’s up Greg
Yo ! !
❤️🙏👊
👼🙏👏👏👍
Chulada de Werita 😊
Hilary you look so cute
Well, Greg, you suck!🤣🤣🤣
Broma!. Tomaste la decisión correcta para tu persona, Hillary and the incoming baby.
You should feel proud of yourself to know what is really important in life.
Cuídense mucho amigos ✌️
Maybe is nature telling you to slow down because you are going to be a father
Guapo
No more español?
I wonder if it is safe ?
what??

@@silnymuz6670 you mean crime?
@@mimi7914 yes
@@silnymuz6670 yeah maybe, I don't know....
You might as well give up the racing for the next 20 yes as you will be focused on your child and their development. You can pick it back up in the senior division.
Ur crazy champ i run 3 miles everyother day but 62
Thanks for the video but I totally disagree with your driving advice. In my experience Mexicans are more courteous than in the USA. In general.
You should be very proud anyway. Next time try talk less while you are running. Hillary, you look beautiful
Bummer Greg! But shouldn't this video been about Hillary?
huh??? this was a great video!
