Episode 3 was an intro to starting your own running program. Great content.  Poor quality recording with lots of room for improvement.  Here it is!  Episode 3 all cleaned up.  Wondering when the reruns will be done...this is the last one for now.  Listen for new content next week!

Another flash back episode!  Re-listen to episode 2 or enjoy it for the first time...all cleaned up.  It was interesting to review this while editing and remember from 10 months ago why I love running.  Some of these have changed a bit over the last year and some are the same.  It's amazing how much we can grow as runners and people each year.  This episode also hits on goals and how much running can help with goals both running and non-running.  Sending into 2024 with a Happy New Year!  Thanks for listening in 2023.

As we end this year, this is my little gift to you.  It's my first episode, and one of the most popular...all cleaned up.  When I started in this podcast in February I knew nothing about editing a podcast, so those first few episodes are a little rough.  Listen again without the awkward pauses, "ums", and my phone buzzing in the background.  Don't have time to listen because of the holidays?  No worries, just skipped this one, and listen for new content coming soon.

This episode highlights who I am, my running history, and why I started this podcast.  We also dive into the many reasons people hate running and how to work about some of those major roadblocks and give running a try...again...or for the first time.  See you there!

For me, and I'm sure many others, the marathon is almost unattainable.  Don't get me wrong, I've run marathons, six of them, but it's all been quite a battle and I've come out beaten.  Everything from cramped legs, sick stomach, getting lost on the course, having a bad mindset, weather challenging, and even a little train have kept me from feeling like the marathon was something I could grasp onto.  So...instead of call that good, I've applied the "get back on the bike" mentally and I just keep trying.  This episode is all about the next attempt, marathon #7.  How will it go this time?

For myself, my family, kids I coach, and other runners I know...my biggest concern in many ways is safety.  If I go out on a run and don't feel safe that run becomes a stressor instead of a stress relief.  Over the years I've found many ways to increase my safety and to feel safer, even if there is no immediate threat.  Come along as I share these tips today: self-defense, running safely around cars, bikes, and animals, running in the dark, and more.  See ya there...and stay safe out there friends!

Well...hello December! It's holiday time of year!  Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day, or just New Years, this is a time for celebration.  With all the celebration comes a lot of feasting, some extra time with others, and hopefully some reflecting and setting goals for the coming year.  My invitation today...don't wait!  Whatever your running goals are for the coming year, start now.  What if you haven't thought about your running goals for next year...or even this year.  Start now!  Don't wait until January 1st...or 15th...or Feb 12th...okay...now it's too late so what's the point.  None of that attitude!  The best time to start is now.  Don't wait!  Hit the ground running now so by January you are coasting into your goals, not huffing and puffing chasing them.

Oh the treadmill!  One of the most controversial topics in running.  Should you use a treadmill?  My answer is "yes" and "no".  Really....it depends.  Let's discuss when a treadmill would be a great choice and other times where it might hinder your progress.  

Also, with holiday season in full swing, please join me with the "Dust off and name your treadmill challenge".  It's as simple as it sounds: Dust off (or more) your treadmill, give it a name to make it more endearing to you, and then...use it.  Don't have one?  Name one at your local gym instead.  Either way, snap a picture and post to your favorite social media page with the hashtags: #nameyourtreadmill #dawnrunning #runningbydawnpodcast.  Can't wait to see your pictures!  Look for my treadmill with its new name on my facebook page.

Go ahead and sit back and relax for this one.  I'm not going to tell you to kill yourself with the biggest hill in town, nor hit it hard on the track.  Quite the opposite, let's talk about the important, even vital role of easy running.  If "run" and "easy" don't seem to be anywhere close to compatible in your mind yet, don't worry, we'll talk about that too.  Big sigh of relief...let's begin.
