I Was Just Thinking....

Another short program while I walk my dog. Today I discuss the impact of the Garmin shut down the past few days.

Hey folks out for a walk with my brand new puppy named Reagan I would record

Hey folks!  Well no sooner do I make a commitment to do shorter shows than I have a need for a long format show.  Once my friends or my wife are able to run/walk with me again the need to do longer shows here will evaporate but for today.....  Well, yeah.   It sounded good coming out of my mouth at any rate.  This show is rated PG-13 btw.  Enjoy!

This show is about what I wear during the dog days of summer.  I'm always interested in what other folks wear regarding clothing or tech to get them through a run.  Since this is my show I'll start the conversation by telling what I usually wear.  If you have a go to product please reach out and leave me a comment!  I'd love to hear how you stay cool and comfortable during the summer months.  

This is just a quick message about the new show format....or rather how I am giving up the current show format to go back to the original show format which, since I haven't been using it in a while, now can also be called the new show format!  

A quick conversation about a recent lactate threshold workout I tried and the relativity of weather conditions.

Just a quick recording from my phone to tell you I love summer!

Hey folks!  Just a quick update.  I had a slight injury and the ID of the problem is not what you might expect from a runner.  On the mend now but steps have been taken (pun intended) to make sure this doesn't happen again.  Enjoy!

In today's show I discuss the curious phrase "The New Normal".  I also discuss my running goals and current training plan.  Enjoy!

Howdy folks!  Time for another update.  I have some things to chat about like a new training course and upcoming races so all uplifting content.  And for a bonus....the sun is actually out again!  Enjoy!

Hey folks!  Time for another check in.  Got a lot to talk about so this episode is just short of an hour.  Enjoy!

Well hello again!  This is another check in from pseudo-quarantine.  Glad to be outdoors for a run on a sunny afternoon.  Enjoy!

Howdy folks!  Well here is my coronavirus check in.  Hope this finds you all well, if a bit bored and stir crazy in your homes.  I decided to find the positive spin to this whole coronavirus deal as well as discuss some non virus topics.  Enjoy!

Today's episode will feature a quick run through, pun intended, of my vacation week I am finishing up.  The majority of this the episode will be about why I chose to try (and will now stay) with Xero Shoes.  I'm not trying to sell you a pair of shoes here.  I'm just passing on why I like them.  Do what you want with the information, provided you first listen to the information.  After that, it's your life, your feet, your choice.  Enjoy!

Today I head out for a progression run and discuss my thoughts on social media and it's overuse.  I manage to also get in an update on my training for the Dismal Swamp Stomp half marathon, now only 8 weeks away, while I'm at it.  Enjoy!

This week I returned to a favorite running spot; the John Rudy County park.  It was damp and gray but it is always a good run at John Rudy.  Enjoy!

Well we are in the middle of winter and I am in the middle of a half marathon training program.  It's all about keeping on, keeping on at this point.  Enjoy!

It's been and underwhelming week of training.  Late days at work and bitter cold have taken their toll this week.  Still it's only one week and my goal race is not until the first week of April.  Plenty of time to right this ship.  Enjoy the show and your week!

Today's show is about the passing of the World's Greatest Drummer, Neil Peart.  I also chat about my training and my love of Xero Shoes.  This is also the first time I've used a season # to list a show.  That having been said.....welcome to Season Four!   If you would like to send me a comment or a submission of your own you can do so here: https://anchor.fm/i-was-just-thinking/message

Today I chat about my new coach.  I chose a new coach from my Garmin app so I'm comparing the training plans for a half marathon of Jeff Galloway and Greg McMillan.  All this and while getting over a upper respiratory cold to boot!   If you have a question or a comment you'd like to be part of a future show feel free to send me one at the link below! https://anchor.fm/i-was-just-thinking/message Thanks for the download!
