Wow; it is still unbelievable that we made it to 33 episodes this season.

For the next few weeks, we will be on a break but then the show will be back with even more stories, some hot topics, and real discussion around how we define ourselves as runners.

Thank you to Nicole, Mark, Ashlie, John, Lauren, Chris, Marty, Liz, Ben, Tom, Jen, Sebastian, Dan Andy, Felix, Terrence, Ksenia, Chelsea, Jonathan, Joel, Sabrina, Rupesh, Vianna, and Colleen for joining me on this ride. I take something from each and every one of your episodes.

For know, embrace the crazy to unlock a world of possibilities. Thank you all for your listening and your support. See you for Season 2!

We did get the picture at the Patrick Devitt 2024 Turkey Trot!

Yes, that will make lots more sense after you listen to the episode. It's no wonder our friendship has formed; Colleen had me laughing and laughing. So much so, I had to have Marty edit out at least 20% of the recording!

But this episode is such a great follow up to Rupesh the Regular Runner. We are all regular people; with insecurities who make unnecessary comparisons to others instead of embracing ourselves. Look forward to more conversations about that and feel free to reach out if you want to be part of that conversation.

It seems only fitting the person who helped support me at what I described as my worst race of my life last year at F3 should be released 5 days prior to this year's F3!

Vianna is the definition of community, gratitude, and support and there is something for everyone to take away from this episode. Thank you Vianna for your patience in needing to rerecord and for being the example you are for so many. You are a Wonder Woman!

Yeesh, that's some awful sound quality. It's what happens when you can find your microphone because you're moving soon.

Just a quick hop on to say; if you're having trouble embracing where you are in your running journey, you most certainly are not alone.

It is not often that I become speechless during a recording but I'll be damn if that didn't happen several times with Rupesh!

He was the perfect example of someone who believed they had nothing to share but left me with so many new ways to look at things.

As I learned from him, if you are listening on Apple you unfortunately are not seeing the video portion of the pod. I would absolutely recommend you hop over to Spotify if for no other reason than my constant need to remind Rupesh to describe what he was holding up.

Thank you so much for listening and supporting the flying pig project.

There is so much to say about this guest. From her accomplishments, to her running history, to just being an amazing human, I so fortunate to call her my friend (even though she's a 60077).

Please enjoy my sit down with Sabrina Ehmke and thank you for your support of the flying pig project.

Yep, that's right. This encore belongs to Mark and is well deserved! If the "analytics" are right, he, to date, is the most listened to episode and deservedly so!

Enjoy!

It will come to no shock to many, Universal Sole takes the ultimate win!

More importantly, if you remember, Joel's episode was one of the ones that got lost. Fortunately, he had time to share some new stories with me! I knew that he had a connection with F3 but did I know Charles "Peanut" Tillman would have come up in the conversation? I also love Joel taking the time to thank Will Bridge and tell about their history. He also took a minute to explain the the story of Sean McNamara; the Valentine's Trail Challenge in February is dedicated to this trail runner who lost their life while running on a trail.

Yeah, I talk as well. I discuss the episode where I was the guest and dole out some much deserved thanks to many people.

What a great way to close out 2024.
