#294 - If you search back in running history Robert Earl Johnson and Wilma Rudolph will be two of the first names that you will see. Both are pioneers in running history, having achieved firsts in races and track meets, including the Olympics, that had not been seen before. Johnson was the first Black American to compete in Olympic distance running and Rudolph was the first American woman to win three Gold Medals in one Olympic games. But they were both so much more. And that is what this week's episode is about. So, join me as I honor this two magnificent runners and heroes!

#293 - This week, I talk about my short but wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe and Echo Lake and how important it is to get away to the place where that recharges your batteries. The Sierra Nevada Mountains does that for me like no place else. I know there's a place that you like to go to when you feel the need to re-energize. No matter how brief, it is better to go for a short stay than no stay. I also talk about my terrific training run and I finally figured out why I fell on that fateful day last December. It was a big week of discoveries for me and I'm so grateful to be able to share it with you!

#284 - There are A LOT of things we can do to prepare for a race, or a long training run. I'm including training runs in this episode as well, as the preparation and recovery are usually the same things, aren't they? Many things we can prepare, other things we can purchase (who said running is a cheap sport???). Maybe you do some of these things already and others you hadn't thought about. In any case, it's fun to think about some alternative ways to do things and to give it a new perspective!

#194 - This week, it's all about my last race, the 12-hour Ride to Walk Race and my camping trip at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The race was terrific! It was so well prepared and organized! I'll be doing it again next year for sure! And, if you've never camped or ran on trails through giant Sequoias, you should start preparing for a trip to this great park!

#193 - What is Imposter Syndrome and why is it so prevalent in running? I break it all down for you this week. I explain what it is and why it's so important to understand. The majority of runners will at some point in their runner life feel they're not a good runner, or don't belong to be where they're at. But why do we feel this way and how are some ways we can work through it? Because we CAN work through it! just as there is a sunset, there is light ahead! So take a listen and we'll do this together!
