Running For Sandwiches

It's difficult to know whether or not you fit in and belong sometimes. Guess What? You belong. I'll tell you why.

Is to quit talking and begin doing. This week my guest and I talk all about how and why we made the jump from couch potatoes to rabid runners!

Hello. It's been a while. I'm here to apologize, tell you where I've been, and set goals that we can reach together. Join me?

There's a little voice in your head that's going to tell you to give up along the way. This episode will help you learn to ignore it.

15 weeks ago, I set a goal. Then a roadblock happened. We can either let those define us or figure out how to get around them. I'm choosing the latter.

Spoiler Alert: I didn't run this week. But at least Mike Tyson didn't bite my ear off.

This was an episode I did not want to record. I want to be totally honest though, so here we go...

In the immortal words of Randy Pausch, "Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something."

Everyone who finishes an endurance event gets the same medal. It doesn't matter what place you come in, as long as you finish!

Training for and running in a distance race is going to hurt. A lot. So why do we do it? I'll give you my answer to that question on this show!

It's rare that I have a long run where everything falls into place, I don't feel a lot of pain, and I just go. This past week I had one of those runs. I can't tell if it was because I'm getting better or because I was watching "Game of Thrones."

Let's talk negativity and why you should never use this certain word when talking about reaching your goals.

My fellow runner friends and I got together for a roundtable discussion on why we think you should run a runDisney race!

When you set impossible goals, be prepared to stumble and fall along the way. This week I hit my first major bump in the road.

It's all about accountability. Sign up for the race. Pay the money. Make that commitment and tell people about it. It will drive you to keep going.

Sometimes it's hard to tune out the negative thoughts. This episode will help convince you that no matter what, you are a "real" runner.

Each week we should celebrate our small wins with small rewards, like sandwiches. But we need to set a long term, "impossible" goal to really make a change.

An introduction to the show Running For Sandwiches and thoughts on what this show will be in the future.
