Episode 171 – Closing Time

After 5 years and 171 episodes, it is time for FMC to end. Pete and Gretchen sit down for one last time to talk about their fond memories of the show, the incredible people that listen, and some typical off-the-wall banter. Never say never, but we believe the show has run its course.

To everyone who has listened, thank you. If we made a difference in your life, we are humbled. We still cannot believe anyone tuned in and we are forever grateful.

Episode 163 – Chicago Marathon Race Recap

Dave takes a backseat in this episode as Pete recaps his Chicago Marathon in the finale of FMC Runs Chicago.

It wasn’t a smooth road as Pete had to overcome some last-minute adversity. In Pete’s words, you don’t usually get the race you want but you get the race you need. Pete needed a test of his toughness. He got it. He crossed the finish line and the story to get there is full of memories he will never forget!

There was a winner in this episode for a free signed copy of Ryan Holiday’s Discipline is Destiny. Pete is giving away two more copies and all you need to do to enter the drawing is to send him a note and include something you are working on or a goal. Congrats to the first winner, Mary Beth!
