Steven Dailey marches in and gives us the scoop on how he finds his running mojo.
Steven and I talk about how running is exactly like the military; Strict, regimented, hierarchical and full of long stretches of boredom. *hold for shock value*

Actually, we talk about the exact opposite. Steven shares his thoughts on how running has opened his eyes to a world that is completely different from his time in the Army. And yet how running helped him during his time serving our country. We talk about some other stuff too, but you should listen to find out what that's all about.

Jen Malik chat's about roads, snakes, roads, sticks that looks like snakes. But seriously, Jen is a fastie who has won some marathons (one before and one after having a baby!) and placed pretty high in some long trail races (2nd at Sehgahunda, 3rd in Twisted Branch) even though she runs (and trains!) only on roads and considers herself a novice on the trails. Listen in as she nearly convinces me to run down the (probably not imaginary) yellow brick road with her.

Courtney Dauwalter - Blind Perseverance at Run Rabbit Run (Boy, I got this one all mixed up. I searched for the story about the runner who went to sleep on the trail for 1 minute and I could NOT find it. So instead, enjoy this story which is also what I think I thought what I was talking about at the end of the podcast!)

Many on The Genny - It will be great to see what Jen does on this trail. As it is totally runnable course and pretty "friendly" with some roads in the front of the course and runnable trails in the back. #SeeYaAtTheDam

Originally recorded March 30, 2017

The third occurrence of this distinguished event did not disappoint. Mort Nace and Medved once again gathered a distinguished panel of runners, assembled an interested community and provided a comfortable space for many stories to be told. Mort Nace brought the community together for an evening of sharing the passion and joy that comes with being a runner out in the woods.

After an introduction by Mort, a panel of 7 voices, Mitch Ball, Matt Smythe, Sharon Radak, Joe Packard, Jamie Hobbs and Sarah Keyes, treated us to tales of real life adventures and beyond words imagination that kept us all rapt with attention well into the night.

Running Inside Out was once again given the opportunity to participate and record the discussion. Hope you enjoy it.

Jamie Hobbs returns to talk about his drive to run 100 miles as well as how squeezes in 100 mile training while being a dedicated husband and a role model dad. He's 43 and running as well as he ever has, so there are probably some gems of wisdom in here. Take notes. Jamie was the subject of a #BeastCoast film, episode 4 "Forged in Mountains" and we talk a bit about that too! We also get into him running the Massanutten Mountain 100... so there's that!

Cayley Hallahan shares the story of her first half marathon… which she ran after having open heart surgery. As one can imagine, one can learn a lot about life while waiting for heart surgery. And so, Cayley gives us a small lesson in modern day cardiology. Specifically, the Ross Procedure and Aortic Stenosis. And then we get into what it was like on race day at the Oak Tree half marathon.
