This week on the podcast, I take a look at my complicated relationship with running. Listen to the show below or download it directly (right click and "save as").
The show notes:
- Never saw the point of running
- Played sports but never ran for running's sake
- After college, started working out again
- Watched Boston Marathon every year but never thought I could do it
- Started running in late '90s because of my girlfriend (now wife)
- Ran a 5K, then kept increasing distance
- In 2002, ran Boston Marathon for the first time
- No marathon this spring because of burnout
- Enjoying shorter distances and just running in general
- Ran in the Poco Loco in Boston last weekend
- Social running event with no pressure for time or speed
- Similar events in the works for St. Louis, London
- Bonehead of the Week
