Transitions From War

Rich disembarks solo on a talk about his journey toward the heart of the storm and his holding pattern. 

——————————————————————————

Mike started the Transitions from War blog to talk about his struggles getting home, PTSD, and addiction and then finding endurance sports to really begin feeling whole again.

Breaking the stereotype of illiterate Marines, Mike and Rich met up in college at UC Berkeley. A few years after graduation they teamed up again, this time to discuss and promote a topic blatantly absent from their college days: healthy lifestyle and fitness.

Do you even foam roll, bro? Mike and Rich get myofascial, Randy Moss gets quoted, roller blade bear traps aren't just in Long Beach, side-ass is medical, and things take a spiritual turn. How do you make a tough decision? What else besides intellect and logic helps connect us to purpose?

Shout out to fellow Marine, Daniel Perez for reclaiming his health and fitness by running the first of ten 5k runs this year!!

Both go over best tips on how to get a workout in during vacation without ditching the family all day. Steven King has a smashed face. Check out the Human Longevity Project, a nine-part documentary about how people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.

In today's show, Mike goes solo to talk about this past weekend at Ironman Santa Rosa and Ironman's new "Gold Star Initiative" to have a veteran carry an American Flag during every Ironman race to honor the family of a service member killed in action.

He goes over the race week jitters, dealing with stress, sunblock success (thanks Zealios!), nutrition trouble, finding your "why" in racing, and the power of mindfulness on the long course.

In honor up the upcoming Ironman Santa Rosa, today's bonus episode is the first of a few guided meditations to help with pre-race jitters many of us get before race day. Though many of us put the long hours of training in, recovery and tapering can be overlooked. This meditation is designed to put your body in a relaxed state, notice and let go of worries, visualize your race, connect to the deeper reasons you race- aka the "why," and be ready to rock when the cannon fires before the swim start.

How can we adopt a lifestyle that is in sync with our genetics without moving to the woods and smelling like dirty hippies? Rich and Mike talk about artificial lights, being over 30, how cold Minnesota gets, and compare MCRD San Diego to Parris Island.

RIP R. Lee Ermy!
