Runner Jeff Dougherty signed up for the Madison Marathon and thought it would be cool to document his run by recording it on his GoPro. To get his marathon video perfect, he experimented with his camera on the five-mile training loop he takes through Bozeman, Montana. He recorded the videos in time-lapse setting and later stabilized the footage, resulting in smooth, flowing imagery. Over time, he accumulated an unbelievable amount of footage taken over all four seasons.

— 159.5 miles
— 98,366 photos taken
— 83 hours of stabilization
— 2 GoPros used
— 714 GB of photos
— 55.27 GB of video




After recording nearly 160 miles of footage, Dougherty edited it together, creating a seamless run through the colorful, ever-changing seasons in beautiful Bozeman, Montana.

Here’s Dougherty with his trusty GoPro:

Feeding babies peanuts helped over 40,000 kids avoid a troubling health trend

A decade ago, a rising health concern affecting children into adulthood still lingers today: peanut allergies. A study released in 2010 by researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that cases of peanut allergies tripled between 1997 to 2008. In 2015, new evidence emerged that reduced peanut allergy cases, not by delaying the introduction of peanut products until age three as previously recommended, but by feeding them to children as infants. A decade later, the results showed that it worked.

In humans, peanut allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly recognizes the protein in peanuts as harmful. There is a wide range of peanut allergy symptoms; some people experience digestive problems, while others break out in hives. The most severe symptoms include dramatic drops in blood pressure and anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can cause difficulty breathing and uncontrolled vomiting, which can be fatal as swelling in the throat closes off airways and reduces intake of oxygen. Understandably, parents and adults alike grew concerned about ingestion and exposure to peanuts and peanut products at schools, playgrounds, and other public spaces.

A former bandmate gave Elton John this '60s song the superstar had completely forgotten he wrote

In the late '60s, before Elton John officially became Elton John, immortal pop-rock superstar and one of music’s best-selling artists, he was simply Reginald Dwight: a young songwriter searching for his musical identity. During that pre-fame era, he was briefly bandmates with Derek Shulman in the psychedelic soul group Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. And while they lost touch over the years, the pair reconnected decades later through a kind gesture: Shulman gifting John a demo recording of a song the latter forgot he’d ever written.

That friendship formed when then-Dwight filled in as a touring member of Simon Dupree. "Elton was Reg at the time, and the keyboard player in my first group was sick," Shulman told this writer in an interview for Ultimate Classic Rock. "He was recruited by our manager, and he loved playing with us. He's a real muso. We went to his house, and this was around the time when [lyricist Bernie Taupin] came down from Lincoln. This was literally the start of his Elton John period and career."

Phil Collins' 'incredible' letter to Def Leppard drummer after he lost his arm

Rick Allen has one of rock music’s most inspirational stories: The Def Leppard drummer tragically lost his left arm following a 1984 car accident, but he relearned to play on a custom drum kit, while the band went on to reach their biggest commercial success. That redemption may have never happened, though, without the uplifting messages he received, including one from another famous drummer: Phil Collins.

Allen was, naturally, in a dark place following the accident, which happened Dec. 31, 1984, in the Sheffield, England area, when he was only 21. The prior year, Def Leppard had released their blockbuster LP Pyromania—which featured the hit singles "Photograph," "Foolin’," and "Rock of Ages"—and now the future looked uncertain. But hearing from Collins, an immensely popular singer-songwriter and one of the world’s most revered drummers, gave him a crucial confidence boost.

6 respectful rules for telling a coworker about a hygiene problem

Have you ever taken a deep breath at your desk and wondered if someone nearby had a hygiene issue?Poor body hygiene can make any workplace a very difficult to perform in. A person with body odor, bad breath, or messy, smelly unclean clothing can have a dramatic, negative effect on potential customers and the workspace.

Not every situation requires the involvement of the Human Resources Department (HR), but sometimes it will be necessary to speak with them. If you're up to the challenge and willing to maintain a respectful and direct attitude, six steps can quickly resolve an inconvenient problem (more on that below).

Tax pros share the 5 'craziest,' 'dumbest' things they've seen people try to write off

It’s fair to assume that most of us don’t enjoy doing taxes—especially if you're self-employed and have to fill out 9,000 forms, keep mountains of documents, and decide exactly which expenses you're allowed to write off. On the latter front: If you’ve spent any reasonable amount of time combing through the Internal Revenue Service website or chatting in person with a rep at your local H&R Block, you’ve probably felt the sting of deduction confusion.

As a music journalist, I’ve had people advise me, "You should keep track of every vinyl record you buy and every gallon of gas you spend driving to a concert." I’ve also been told, in no uncertain terms, not to poke that particular hornet’s nest. (To my credit—and possible financial detriment—I’ve always played it safe.) But some people brazenly go for it, requesting to write off any and every expense that feels even tangentially related to their work.

NBA legend Michael Jordan opens up fourth North Carolina health clinic for the uninsured

After successfully building three other clinics, as mentioned on Upworthy and Scoop Upworthy, NBA all-star Michael Jordan teamed up once again with Novant Health to build a fourth clinic for the uninsured in North Carolina. The health clinic is the second one built in Wilmington and opened on February 19, 2025.

Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player to compete in the National Basketball Association. With a career at the top spanning from 1984 through 2003, Jordan became a six-time NBA champion and four-time gold medalist in the Olympics. Jordan would be inducted in the NBA Hall of Fame in 2009.

If you talk with your hands, it reveals a lot of good stuff about you.

Talk with your hands a lot? Experts say it means something wonderful about you.

There are a lot of folks out there who talk with their hands. For some, it’s a way to elaborate the point they’re trying to make and, for others, it’s just an instinct they don’t even notice. Some people are even self conscious about it and worry they talk with their hands too much. Well, according to experts, you have little to worry about when you speak with your hands. In fact, talking with your hands is beneficial. Both body language experts and psychology researchers found that using hand gestures while speaking benefits the speaker in multiple ways.

“Studies have found that people who communicate through active gesturing tend to be evaluated as warm, agreeable, and energetic, while those who remain still (or whose gestures seem mechanical or 'wooden') are seen as logical, cold, and analytic,” writes body language expert Dr. Carol Kinsey Goman.

Influencer's AirTag experiment has many questioning where our charitable donations really go

Being of service, giving donations, volunteering, and other acts of charity are all incredibly valuable to the community. Something as simple as donating a pair of shoes instead of tossing them in the garbage is meaningful. These little actions not only help us feel good, but they also support organizations invested in aiding less fortunate people.

A TikTok influencer, Moe, decided to make a little social experiment by placing an AirTag into a pair of sneakers before donating them to the German Red Cross. Using Apple's Find My application, he followed the journey of his donated shoes. The final destination had us all asking, where do our charitable donations really go?
