Audio Postcards episodes

  • Nagog Hill Rd (Chris Part 3)
    Chris is recording the sound of crunchy leaves as they walk in the dry woods, noting that wildfires are happening in Massachusetts due to the dry conditions and the state’s substantial tree cover, which has increased since the Industrial Revolution. Despite a shoulder injury, they’re progressing well and can begin gentle exercises, although trail running is on hold to avoid further injury. They reflect on past injuries, like a jaw fracture from hockey, and mention adjusting their running goals, now considering a February marathon in Phoenix.

  • Chris and his recovery (part 2)
    I apologize for the audio quality, I'm out walking in the woods with my dog, Ollie, despite having a broken shoulder and clavicle. Technically, I shouldn't be walking in the woods, but both the dog and I need to get outside. I’ve learned that using your dominant arm for everyday tasks becomes nearly impossible with an injury like this—simple things like putting on a shirt or even brushing my teeth are a struggle. Although I initially welcomed the break from my intense training schedule, the pain and lack of sleep have made recovery much harder than expected. Mentally, it’s been a challenge to adjust, but I’m taking it day by day, trying to stay active despite the limitations.

  • Chris and his recovery (part 1)
    "Chris, I’ve been thinking about you and that shoulder of yours! I know it’s a tough recovery, but I'd love to hear how you’re doing. When you get a chance, could you send me an audio postcard of your recovery journey? You know, a little update on how you're feeling, any progress, and maybe even some thoughts on getting back out there on the trails. No rush, but it would be great to hear your voice!"

  • Five minutes of my morning (For JD)
    Hey Jim, just thought I’d send a quick update about the weather and my day. I decided to skip the outdoor stuff and hit the indoor bike and some weight training at the rec center instead—trying to hit my 600-calorie goal for the day! Did a simple routine with dumbbells, some leg presses, and calf raises, and by the time I checked, I was already at 380 calories. After that, I debated walking home in the rain but figured I’d earned a break. Anyway, just heading back now and wanted to wish you all the best—talk soon!

  • Lochside Recap
    So good morning everybody. Carlos here just got home from my nine kilometer power walk. It was half trail and a half rail trail, so it was hilly for the first four kilometers and then flat for the remaining five. So this is the running jackal signing off on Friday.

  • The Ride
    I'm currently test-riding a bike to see if it's viable for my commute, averaging about 14 km/h, which is slower than on my e-bike. The bike has 18 or 21 gears, and I'm getting used to the extra effort compared to the ease of riding my e-bike. Over the next few days, I'll decide whether to keep the bike, especially since I expect the price to be around $100 to $150. The bike had been sitting in the kitchen at work, causing some annoyance, but now that I'm trying it out, the decision is on me. Normally, I commute 10 km in 30 minutes, but today it's taking me closer to 40 minutes.

  • Testing Testing.123 123
    1. I'm testing the sound—one, two, three—just making sure everything is working.
    2. I’m getting dressed, just moving around the house like I usually do.
    3. I’m about to drink my coffee before heading to work.
    4. I’ve got my phone and earbuds, so I’m all set.
    5. I almost forgot to take my vitamins, but now I'm ready for my day at Little Piggy's Catering.
