Episode 5-5485 – Nate Talks About ParentingHello my running friends. And so, the universe finds us together again. It is a fine Monday morning at the end of April bleeding into May and the fulsome fecundity of mother nature bursts free from the oppressive bonds of winter.  The birds are singing, the rabbits are munching, the flowers show their timid faces in the new dawn of longer days and happier times.  And here we are.   Hosted on Acast.

Episode 5-484 – the one about the treeIntroduction:Hello and welcome to episode 5-484 of the RunRunLive Podcast. I’m calling it 5-484. That’s as good a number as any. At this point we are beyond the specificity of rational numbers and, some would say, rationality in general.  Today I’m going to tell a story about a tree. I’ll give you the update on my current entropy challenge. Because it’s always something, isn’t it? And I have an idea to start a new segment called “Stupid running questions.”  And, maybe I’ll talk about mortality.

RunRunLive Episode 5483 – The one about 5K’s and Relay races and retirement… Hello my running friends.  How are you doing today? It’s winter here in New England. The shortest days of the year are upon us.  The seasons change and so do I.  Which is a lyric from a song by the Guess Who called “No Time”, from an album called “Canned Wheat” released in 1969. The Guess Who was an influential Canadian rock band from Winnipeg of all places.   Randy Bachman from the band went on to success with Bachman Turner Overdrive.  Apologies for not getting a show out. I have ideas in my head. I just don’t have the animation to write them down and record.  Something is better than nothing they say. But, the older I get, the more I understand the value of nothing as well.  Today I’m going to catch you up on a few races I’ve run and some other stuff as I work my way into shape for my next race, which is the Napa Valley Marathon in March.  Now that I’ve put Boston aside as a goal race, I can add more fun stuff and travel races to my calendar. This year my wife and I will head out to Napa Valley to run the race and then hang around in wine country.  Because, my friends, life is short.  Memento Mori.  Hosted on Acast.

5-482 Hello my friends and welcome to episode 482 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Today I’m going to gift you with a long screed entitled “Zero to Hero, How to go from zero miles and injured to a marathon in 6 months.”  But, before I go there let’s do some business.  I went back to the old RunRunLive 4.0 bumpers, because I like them. I didn’t like the new ones that I had done for me. The old ones are voiced by members of our community.  That opening bumper about squeezing the life from lemons is by old-friend John. The strumming guitar and singing are the styling of Adam Tinkoff. The ‘move you to the exit’ is Steve Chopper. And the harmony on the last bit of the outro is Adam and Eddie Marathon.  If I ever do interviews again, the ‘featured interview’ bumper is a young version of my talented daughter Katie.  They make me happy and hopefully make you happy too.  Secondly I spent some time last weekend loading old shows into the new ACast feed. I got all the way back to 250 – which would be some time in 2012, I believe.  This is why episode 251 errantly dropped into your feed as a new show. I have to back date them to get them in the right order. That show was from January 2013, I must have missed a save button. I have fixed it.  But- in all seriousness, that show is probably a good example of the format that I used to have back then. I have not listened to it, but if you have, that is an 11-year time travel into the past. If you liked it there are plenty more of similar size and shape.  At some point I’m going to go back and listen to all of these from the beginning and learn something about myself.  Other than that – enjoy this essay on training around our constraints.  On with the show.
