UPDATED 11/10/2022 w/ this image of my Longest run from Strava:

I haven't updated this blog or podcast in 5 years. Wow. Sorry about that. I guess I podfaded. My bad. This podcast was something that motivated me to work on goals, especially running consistently. Well, I'm happy to report that this year I have been running consistently and I've been working on building up my long run. I've gotten up to 13.5 miles in one run, and I'm excited about my best half marathon time which I'll share down below:

If you're interested in following my running journey the best place to go is Strava, which you can get to above there where it says "view this activity on Strava."
Someday when I have the time to train more I would like to run a Marathon. Maybe I should set a goal, like, before I turn 40 I should run a marathon. I'll be 39 in 5 months so I'm getting close! Anyways, to anyone who used to listen to this podcast: thank you for listening! And I'm sorry it just stopped abruptly. While this podcast is over, who knows? Maybe I'll resurrect it again someday. I've certainly been running a lot. Here's a quick breakdown of my recent running progress:
JULY 2021.....106.7 MilesJUNE 2021.....100 MilesMAY 2021......85 Miles

In this episode I share tons of audio running journals that I recorded after each run because I've been running a lot! I'm so happy to be running consistently. I went for a few runs with my brothers, some runs alone, and tried doing a sprinting HIIT workout for the first time. Listen in to hear how it all went.

I've been running a lot lately! I'm very determined to start running consistently. Running with my brother has helped a lot too! Having someone to run with makes it so much easier and more fun. A new podcast episode is coming soon! Probably next Monday July 25. Here's my stats thanks to the great app Map My Run:

In this episode I share 3 audio running journals that I recorded after each run. I talk about finishing the first draft of my next book, and about how much more fun it is to run with someone because I ran with my brother this week.

It's been way too long since I've posted an episode of my 6 Goals podcast! But I have been running, a little. Usually I release an episode only for one week but because it's been so long since I've made an episode I had 7 running sections recorded. These are bits I record right after going for a run. Also I ran a race called https://www.bloomsdayrun.org/. It's a 12K race that took me 1:27:20 to complete. That was a long hour and a half but it was really fun too!

I went on a few runs. They felt good though the most recent one was tough. I was very satisfied with it because I ended up running for over 3 miles, but my body was tired. Below is the map of my running loop and the stair step image of the different mile splits for my last run.





Here's the stats:
2.23 miles in 21:17 minutes - 2/8/16 
3.0 miles in 30:29 minutes - 2/9/16
3.35 miles in 35:04 minutes - 2/17/16

I went on a few runs. Two I've posted below, the one before that is in the last post. I recorded a podcast too! Wow has it been a long time since I've done that! I tried adding some more chill music instead of the hard rock in the background. I like it a lot more. Kind of new age and weird but I like it. Makes for an interesting sound.

Here's the stats:
2.0 miles in 20:11 minutes - 1/29/16 
2.0 miles in 24 minutes - 1/22/16

Cover to Sword and Urn and some art from the Children's picture book I mentioned:

This morning I woke my 7 year old son up at like 6:15 and we went for a run together. We ran for around 17 minutes and maybe ran about a mile. I'm totally guessing on the distance. It was really fun and special. He's a good little runner. He never wanted to stop and walk and he loved it. He said it was really fun and asked if we could do it every morning. It was really special.

Yesterday I finally went for a run. It felt good. I went nice and slow and slowed down even more halfway through then picked it up a bit at the very end. Today I'm very sore in my legs but also in my sides. Just goes to show how out of shape I really am. I felt great the rest of the day. I can't wait to run again.
