Episode #47 - Notes From The Other Side Of 50 Kilometers

I finished the Swinging Bridge 50k Trail Race on January 17, 2009. The temperature at the start was -1F. That's 33 degrees below the freezing mark. It was very cold. In this podcast, I share some thoughts on what the experience was like.

Episode #46 - Swinging Bridge 50K Just Days Away

My longest race is looming on the horizon and it looks like the temperatures will be around the freezing mark most of the day. At least it will be dry. In this podcast, I contemplate running 50 kilometers and wrap up my training for the race with my new dog.

Episode #45 - 20 miles sounds about right

Is there any better way to start off a new year than with a long training run? In this podcast, I talk about my final training runs before the Swinging Bridge 50K in addition to expressing a little bit of self doubt.
