On April 30, 2017, I ran a 50k in the Pinckney Recreation Area in Michigan. This is part 1 of my experience from that event. Not only was the race a great time but I experienced outstanding hospitality from all of the folks I met in Michigan. I had never been to Michgan before and I will definitely be back!
Many thanks to my hosts and you can hear more about them in this episode and part two which will be up soon. Thanks for listening!

When traveling out of town by airplane for an ultramarathon, the luxury of using your car to store your gear during a race may not be available. I've had a little experience with this situation and I share some of those ideas in this podcast.

Keith Cartwright lives here in the same town as me, Ashland, Virginia. His running story is somewhat unique in that he started running as a result of a community tragedy. But there's much more to his story of hope, inspiration and faith that I just had to share. I hope you enjoy listening to Keith as much as I did.
Keith has a podcast at the link below. Check it out. Thanks for listening to the show.

Do you train solo for events or do you have a regular training group? If you have a group, how much do you rely on your training partners to get you the distance you need for race day? I love running with my group. It's a small group and sometimes not everyone makes it out on Saturday mornings but I'm always appreciative of their time. In this show, I talk aout Ashland Bryan and Ashland Tom. We all love running, live in the same area and are family oriented but the similarities stop there. These guys are there when I need them and I've been there for them. It's a great partnership!
There are also some miscellaneous topics covered. Thanks for downloading the show!

Ashland Tom, Ashland Bryan and I ran the Dahlgren Heritage Trail Half Marathon on 2-18-17 and had a great time. I have some audio clips from the race which include a guy who likes to yell when he runs. The show also has some commentary about the experience. Many thanks to the race volunteers, especially my friend Neal. This is a great event and I recommend it to anyone who lives in the central Virginia area and likes half marathons on rails-to-trails.

This link is a drone video of Ashland, Virginia if you're interested in a visual of where I run most of the time.

This show features an interview with ultrarunner David Williams of Flinders Island, Tasmania (Australia). What makes David different? How about being age 69 and having over 70 marathons and 20 ultras under your belt? What a beast! You've got to listen to this guy!
David and I have corresponded for several years about ultrarunning and this is the first time we talked live. David was nice enough to share his time and talk about a cool stage race he did in the jungles of Cambodia. Check it out!

For only the second time in my marathoning experience, I drove to a race by myself without knowing anyone else who was running the same event. Usually, I like to experience these things with others but this time was a little different. I had a great time at the Piedmont 8 Hour Run and I'll likely do it again just for the great lunch!
