In this episode we talk to runner Phil Decker. Phil Decker is currently 46 years old and you can find him in the running groups. He is one of us, training for that next marathon and his times were not too shabby either. He is a Boston runner. So it was shocking to hear when he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer this January. Phil talks to us about his diagnosis, how he chose to deal with it, and how he has been spreading awareness and fundraising while fighting cancer. Phil will be at the Chicago Marathon this year if you want to get in touch with him.

What is running etiquette or runners' etiquette? What are the no-no's of running? Listen in to find out!

In this episode we are going to do a race recap of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. This marathon is special as there is so much meaning and history to it. In April of 1995, two men destroyed the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City filling 168 people, 10 of which were children. This marathon exists to keep the memories of those victims alive and remind us that we can overcome hard things when we come together.

One highlight of this marathon included an expo with a panel of legends (Bill Rodgers, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Dick Beardsley, and others) who were there to answer questions of the running community.

In this episode we also got to interview race director Kari Watkins.

Here, in an attempt to get motivated again, we examine why we run and name some reasons to run.
