This week's adventure was flying to Portland to run the marathon.  It was weird and wonderful and I did well – but you can hear all about it in the race report in this episode.  I also sit down with Coach and we talk about some marathon strategies on the futon in his running store in Woodstock Oregon – Pace Setter Athletics. That's probably enough for one episode.  Thank you all for showing up every other week and listening to my stories.  I appreciate it.  I truly live a charmed life.  I ran into a couple folks this week who were podcast listeners and it's super weird for them to hear my voice and see it coming out of me.  I'm sure it's terribly disturbing and potentially disappointing but I love getting out and having adventures and meeting people.  I'm like Kwai Chang from Kung Fu.  Wandering the earth, speaking cryptic philosophy and kicking ass.  “When you can snatch the pebble from my hand…grasshopper”  (Google it kids.) I'll keep my comments brief because I'm juggling travel and work this week.

Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … I spent the week in Woodstock Oregon.  You have to remember I'm from Boston.  .  I grew up in the 70's Irish Catholic.  The Portland area is in some ways way outside my comfort zone but in other ways strangely familiar.  It's like being dropped into a friendly pot growing commune in 1972.  Everybody is super politically correct and friendly but at the same time super alternative life style.  This is a place where you have to be careful not to walk too close to the road when walking down the sidewalk because cars will crash themselves stopping to let you cross.  In Boston driving is a contact sport and pedestrians are the prize.  In Portland it's like some sort of baroque dance routine. There is a coffee shop on every corner.  But not a Starbucks.  The villagers picket Starbucks and drive them out of town as the evil corrupting corporation.  Every store sells craft beer.  The hardware store sells craft beer. The tanning salon sells craft beer.  If they're not selling craft beer they are selling pot.  Everyone wears a ski hat.  Everyone has purple hair, and piercings and tattoos and man-buns and Mohawks.  But they are all super nice and homey.  Every restaurant is a vegan restaurant.  There are homeless people everywhere, but it's hard to tell the homeless from the hipsters.  There's an actual game in Portland called ‘Homeless or hipster?' where you try to guess.  Everything is made by orphaned panda cubs using baby koala tears.  It rains almost every day.  As I sit here writing this, on the roof of a natural foods market – that sells craft beer and vegan appetizers – they have Kombucha on tap - there is a woman(?) with a goatee who has been discussing the nuances of an upcoming wiccan ceremony for 40 minutes like she's talking about what kind of brownies to bring to the PTA meeting.  I love it here.  You can be as weird as you want and everyone is friendly.  And that's what I love about America.  And that's why I go on adventures.

Section two Portland Marathon - Outro Well my friends you have pushed your hips forward through the end of episode 4-350 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  That was fun right?  I'm definitely on a high cycle right now.  I find myself at the end of my to-do list with no races on the calendar.  Well, of course I always have races on the calendar.  But, I'm going to heed Coach's advice and lose a little fitness now.  I decided not to double down.  See?  I'm coachable. I have my yearly water stop volunteer duty at the Bay State Marathon coupled with the Groton Town Forest Trail race next weekend.  At some point in November I have a turkey trot.  Then in December is the Mill cities relay.  Of course on New Year's Eve day we have the newly official .  And on New Year 's Day the Hangover Classic.  That should keep me busy.  How about you all?  What are you racing and training for?  What's your next adventure?  What are you going to do?  You're not getting any younger.  Now is as good a time as ever. Find something the scares you as much as it inspires you and turn that weird thing into an adventure. And I'll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Life is all about making choices.  Choices between what’s right and wrong, choices between what’s good and evil, choices between altruism and egotism, of giving and taking, of sharing and selfishness and choices between what’s smart and what’s dumb. I chose to run the 2008 Bay State Marathon just as 25 years ago this month I chose to take part in a project to help etch my college radio station’s name in the history of a Northern Massachusetts city. Sometimes we do things without thinking it through, or considering the consequences.  Sometimes we do things on impulse or instinct and throw caution to the wind for ideals and purposes which seem like a good idea at the time. Whatever we do, for whatever reason we do it: one thing is perfectly clear.  We all have a choice. Show Links:The song “Choice” was by Jon Miller

With three solid hours of sleep, the depressing notion that my beloved Boston Red Sox had lost a crucial game in extra innings, and the understanding that I was about to run my 16th marathon, fellow runner John Ellis and I crossed the chip mat at the starting line of the Bay State Marathon in Lowell Massachusetts, and I ran the best marathon of my life. What happened next was not magic. It wasn’t some kind of impossible stroke of luck, and it wasn’t completely unexpected: to be a runner is to accept the same kind of challenge that a profession ball team accepts when they compete in the World Series. It’s all about overcoming barriers to success and celebrating those successes when the challenge is overcome.

Listen as I run the first of two Fall 2005 Marathons, this time in Lowell, Massachusetts: home of the American Industrial Revolution.  This is a very flat course where, despite hitting the eventual “wall‿ I attempt to set a new personal record in the Marathon.
