Patrick Henry Half Marathon 2015 - Episode #213

I ran the Patrick Henry Half Marathon again this year and had a great time with my running buddies. A special appearance by Dr. Smitty took place which eventually involved the consumption of large amounts of adult beverages.

All that and a HUGE announcement in this edition of the Running in the Center of the Universe podcast!

Expectancy Theory for Motivation - Episode #210

My good friend Ryan provided some excellent advice regarding motivation and that information is in this episode. The "Expectancy Theory" of business can be applied to marathon running and I think it helped me with my motivation problem.

Graveyard 100 - 2005 - Episode #208

I worked the finish line of the Graveyard 100 ultramarathon again this year. Working an ultramarathon is a cool experience and it's different than working any other type of running event. I was not disappointed as this year the race had a new champion and new course record.

Relaxed Fit vs. Bootleg - Running Styles - Episode #207

I've logged weekly mileage for several years now but I think I'm due a break. I've adopted a more relaxed approach that I'm going to call "relaxed fit." It's different than a bootleg fit which is more regimented. I'll do this until I get inspired to train for a new exciting event. That and some ideas about home repair and littering in this episode.
