The answer to why people run long distances is not easy to explain. People do it for various reasons. In this podcast, I share some thoughts about why people run. Some links mentioned in the show: Phedippidations Podcast (SteveRunner) Running Through the Wall (book) To the Edge by Kirk Johnson (book) Dean Karnazes' site Deena Kastor's site Ari's blog (Run Ansky Run) Running with the Pack podcast (Allan and Jeff) Confessions of a Runner podcast (Jodi) Texas Independence Relay (race director Jay's blog) OBX (Outer Banks) Marathon

I'm in "taper" mode now although the miles seem endless to get my body ready for the Outer Banks Marathon. In this episode, I hit the hills on Blunts Bridge Road (see a vulture having dinner) and have trouble deciding to run 5 or 7 miles. I also include a neat race report audio clip at the end of the show. Some links related to what was mentioned in the show: Ashland Harvest 10K Run Trilogy Running Podcast Mark Junkerman's Race Series (awesome) Richmond (Virginia) Marathon Super Kwik Half Marathon Results 2009 Texas Independence Relay

After this week, I have three weeks before my November 9th marathon. I'll peak at 40 miles this week and taper for three weeks. Some runners taper for only two. I'm trying something different for this race. In this podcast, I talk about my weekly mileage and how it feels to be locally "famous." Some links mentioned or alluded to: Blunts Bridge Half Marathon Challenge Route (check out the elevation profile!) Derby 50K (North Carolina - Greg's race) Richmond Folk Festival Texas Independence Relay (Rich's race) Outer Banks (OBX) Marathon My email address is ashlanddave@gmail.com.

I made a huge mistake by not taking a water source with me when I ran a five mile training run after the Maymont Half Marathon. Many thanks to Kelly for assisting me.

I'm ready for a fall back week after this long training run. This is week #7 of my 16 week marathon training program for the Outer Banks Marathon on November 9, 2008. Fourteen miles is a long way, especially when running alone. In this podcast, I try to keep a positive perspective but it was hard.
