Hello Runners,

How are you? It's already March, and it's entirely possible you may have already run a race this year, or are training for a spring race, or maybe you are a new runner and now seeing results or just running for enjoyment. No matter, I hope you are injury-free and feeling great!

So, I've not published an episode in over a month. February was tough, I caught a bad case of the flu, or maybe it was Covid. I was in bed for a week with no energy, chills, sweating, and feeling miserable and got behind in just about everything. I was also signed up to run the Vegas Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon which I had to bail. Frustrating to say the least.

I'm fully vaccinated have my booster shot and still had Omicron right after Christmas last year, but the symptoms were very mild. Anyway, I feel bad I've not released an episode this long. So to make up for it, I am releasing two back-to-back weeks to catch up. I appreciate your understanding and value you all that listen to my podcast. 

In this episode, I have three stories for you:

1. Where are you with your 2022 running goals? And some interesting 2021 statistics from Strava, the popular running app.
2. I know there are several workouts you can do to increase your speed to run a faster race. One speed workout I found exciting and doable is from Coach Marilyn Chychota.
3. How about a heartwarming story? John Hixon and his daughter Lauren Phillips recently ran the Antarctica Marathon. 

These stories will motivate and inspire you!
