 download the .mp3It's been way too long since I've posted an episode of my 6 Goals podcast! But I have been running, a little. Usually I release an episode only for one week but because it's been so long since I've made an episode I had 7 running sections recorded. These are bits I record right after going for a run. Also I ran a race called https://www.bloomsdayrun.org/. It's a 12K race that took me 1:27:20 to complete. That was a long hour and a half but it was really fun too! The Website for this podcast:http://6goals.blogspot.com/Music Attribution:Music by Kevin MacLeod at http://www.incompetech.comLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

 Download the .mp3I went on a few runs. They felt good though the most recent one was tough. I was very satisfied with it because I ended up running for over 3 miles, but my body was tired. Below is the map of my running loop and the stair step image of the different mile splits for my last run.Here's the stats:2.23 miles in 21:17 minutes - 2/8/16 3.0 miles in 30:29 minutes - 2/9/163.35 miles in 35:04 minutes - 2/17/16Website for the podcast: www.6goals.blogspot.comAttributions:"Relaxing Piano Music" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

 Download the .mp3I went on a few runs. Two I've posted below, the one before that is in the last post. I recorded a podcast too! Wow has it been a long time since I've done that! I tried adding some more chill music instead of the hard rock in the background. I like it a lot more. Kind of new age and weird but I like it. Makes for an interesting sound.Here's the stats:2.0 miles in 20:11 minutes - 1/29/16 2.0 miles in 24 minutes - 1/22/16Attributions:"Garden Music" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Cover to Sword and Urn and some art from the Children's picture book I mentioned:

I went for one run and I finally ran in under ten minute mile pace. Other than that I did a fantastically bad job of hitting any goals because it's one of the busiest weeks of the year at work.Download the .mp3My websites:Blog for this podcasthttp://6goals.blogspot.com/My writing bloghttp://www.DanDanTheArtMan.com/

In this episode I go through the 6 goals and share how I've been doing. Frankly I have not been hitting many goals. I did one sketch, though it was more of an illustration, I went for one run, I wrote one for about 900 words, and other than that I just didn't achieve many goals but I did have a pretty good week because at least I went for a run.Download the .mp3My websites:Blog for this podcasthttp://6goals.blogspot.com/My writing bloghttp://www.DanDanTheArtMan.com/

In this podcast I talk about what I've been up to including writing a couple novels, finally going for a couple runs, and a few other things.The book I read: What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Mornings--and LifeThe blog post I wrote about reading that book with plans for how I'm going to make over my mornings.Listen to chapter one of my work in progress novel called "The Truth About Zombies."See my novel experiment where I am writing a novel longhand with no outline.My latest short story "Stuffed Monster" is available as a FREE ebook:I forgot to talk about doing 6 sketches a week, something I haven't done lately.

This week I talk about how it's been a while since I've recorded, and that I only want to record a new episode when I have running spots recorded and or something interesting and exciting to say about my writing or art. There were a couple things I forgot to mention. I have a new redesigned author website with a new url. The old http://www.writingsofdan.blogspot.com/ still works, but the official address is: http://www.dandantheartman.com/! I'm so excited to have a .com instead of a .blogspot.com for my web address. Also, when I say I'm planning on waking up early I forgot to say I came up with a new plan with a good reason to wake up early - to get more writing & reading time in my life. Here is that plan:MON, WED, FRI________________________________________________ 5:00AM - Wake 6:00AM - Arrive at work, run for 20 min. 6:45AM - Shower, clock in11:00AM - Clock out, read / write11:30AM - Clock in 3:15PM - Clock out10:00PM - Go to bed________________________________________________TUE, THU________________________________________________ 5:00AM - Wake 6:00AM - Arrive at work, clock in11:00AM - Clock out, read / write11:30AM - Clock in 2:30PM - Clock out10:00PM - Go to bed________________________________________________My links:Blog for this podcasthttp://6goals.blogspot.com/ View some of my arthttp://danabsoart.blogspot.com/My writing bloghttp://writingsofdan.blogspot.com/Download the .mp3
