After taking a week off from running, I hit the road again in my futile attempt to actually pound myself into the pavement. In this podcast, I talk about what's on my mind and make a plea to all male runners out there to take care of their nipples.

The Outer Banks Marathon is now over. There is so much preparation for just one day of running. Sometimes it's a good day, and sometimes it's a bad day. I had a good day.

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.

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.
