Happy First Birthday to my daughter Ellie who turned 1 this past Friday! Birthday festivities had me busy all weekend and I didn’t get last week’s podcast out. Apologies for that, but we move on!

Today I will do our two raffles for the Ordinary Marathon prizes. I want to thank author / ultrarunner / wood-carver Brian Burk for donating such a great prize. If you didn’t win and would like a Team Ordinary Medal rack, check out Brian’s page here. Also, thank you to our Official Team Ordinary Dietitian, Allison Knott, for donating a free consultation to one lucky winner. You can find Allison’s webpage here.

But to find out who won, you’ll have to listen to the podcast.

Also today, we will be spotlighting our Team Ordinary Athlete, Ben Hinton! Ben has been training hard towards his goal of qualifying for the Olympics in the Half-Marathon. His big attempt was this weekend in Philly. Find out how he did!
