I had a fun time running the Richmond Half Marathon. If you've listened to the show then you know I wussed out and bagged running the full marathon because I had a hard time training in Virginia summer humidity. I think it was a blessing because I had a great experience running the half distance. And I think it might be my fall race for next year. Really fun! Download the show and judge for yourself. Thanks for coming along.

I ran the Patrick Henry Half Marathon again this year and had a great time with my running buddies. A special appearance by Dr. Smitty took place which eventually involved the consumption of large amounts of adult beverages.All that and a HUGE announcement in this edition of the Running in the Center of the Universe podcast!http://www.ms50.com/http://www.runnersworld.com/races/70-year-old-becomes-oldest-to-complete-292-mile-badwater-double Music by Garageband, U.S. Marine Band, and the late Derek Miller's Penmachine.

It's been a while but I got back to double digits recently and my perspective has improved. Plus, I'm starting to think about 2016 races which could be big!Thanks for downloading the show!

I joined a new training group with the hope of meeting new people and getting some new motivation. That and more in this show.Plus, I may have my first advertiser for the show....check out www.myracetimetracker.com and see if the app works for you!http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/05/28/oped-the-evolution-of-thanking-those-in-uniform.htmlMusic by Garageband and the late Derek Miller's Penmachine.

My good friend Ryan provided some excellent advice regarding motivation and that information is in this episode. The "Expectancy Theory" of business can be applied to marathon running and I think it helped me with my motivation problem.Plus, I may have my first advertiser for the show....check out www.myracetimetracker.com and see if the app works for you!

I worked the finish line of the Graveyard 100 ultramarathon again this year. Working an ultramarathon is a cool experience and it's different than working any other type of running event. I was not disappointed as this year the race had a new champion and new course record. http://www.graveyard100.com/GY100.htmlMusic by Garageband and the late Derek Miller's Penmachine.

I've logged weekly mileage for several years now but I think I'm due a break. I've adopted a more relaxed approach that I'm going to call "relaxed fit." It's different than a bootleg fit which is more regimented. I'll do this until I get inspired to train for a new exciting event. That and some ideas about home repair and littering in this episode.Music by Garageband and the late Derek Miller's Penmachine.http://www.psychowyco.com/id74.htmlhttp://ultrafinishers.com
