In this episode, Host Annette Hines honors the legacies of Boston Marathon competitor Rick Hoyt and her daughter, Elizabeth, through a tribute to author and previous Parenting Impossible guest, Jess Ronne, and her use of the word "grit" to mean a will to persevere amidst the challenges of living as a special needs family. Rick Hoyt and his father, Dick Hoyt, showed continual grit as Team Hoyt as they entered as dual Boston Marathon participants for the first time in 2012 with Dick pushing Rick in his wheelchair during the course. The marathon administration had to develop a new classification for their participation because no one before them had ever entered to run as a team.  Rick Hoyt's cerebral palsy left him as a quadriplegic, and he recently passed away on May 22 due to complications in his respiratory system.  Team Hoyt persevered with grit to complete the Boston Marathon course 32 times as well as over 1,000 other races, and their courage, determination, and indomitable spirit stand as a model to others that Yes You Can set goals, challenge yourself, and accomplish the difficult. Hines also recounts the grit of her daughter, Elizabeth, who passed away 10 years ago in November of 2013.  That same year in April, the Boston Marathon Bombing occurred right at the same time as Elizabeth's entrance into hospice and gradual ultimate decline. Each May, which is Elizabeth's birth month, Hines retells the legacy of her daughter and how Elizabeth fueled Hines' passion and desire to provide the resources families with disabilities need to protect themselves and their loved ones. Hines reminds listeners that despite the hardships and difficult moments that families and individuals with disabilities encounter, it's essential to cherish life and live in the present with grit.  Let us know what you think of this episode!

We are so thrilled to welcome Rick Hoyt, and his brother, Russ, both of whom are the children of Dick Hoyt.  Dick, who passed away at age 80 in 2021, and his son, Rick, are the dynamic duo known as Team Hoyt that competed together in various athletic endeavors, including 72 marathons and six Ironman triathlons. Rick and his father ran the Boston Marathon 32 times, and we always loved seeing them along the course. Talking with Rick and Russ and hearing Rick's story firsthand brought tears to our eyes. In addition to competing as a dynamic duo for over four decades, the Hoyts started the Hoyt Foundation, which provides inclusion opportunities for disabled young people.  Its motto, Yes You Can, is behind everything the Hoyts have accomplished, including Rick's graduation from Boston University, thanks to the unwavering insistence of Dick and Rick's mom, Judy, that Rick attend public school and eventually Boston University where Rick graduated in 1993.  While Rick is no longer running races, Team Hoyt is going strong with teams at the Boston Marathon every year, including this year, when Dick's grandkids/Russ's children ran on behalf of Team Hoyt.  Now, for the first time this year, the Hoyt Foundation is hosting the first annual Dick Hoyt Memorial Yes You Can Run Together on Saturday May 27th in Hopkinton at 8:30 am.  It's a five mile race to commemorate the Hoyt's first race distance together.  There is also a VIRTUAL OPTION for all listeners to participate.

This is an episode from the archives that I wanted to re-share with you because it's been two years since it's guest, Dick Hoyt, sadly died. Whenever I think that the odds are stacked against me or something seems impossible, I try to remind myself what Dick Hoyt and his family did to defy the system and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to give his disabled son a better life and in the process inspire the world.Dick and his son Rick, competed in over a thousand races, including Ironman competitions and even running across the United States in 45 days. The only catch is that Dick's son, Rick was diagnosed at birth as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy which meant that he couldn't walk or talk, let alone run, swim or cycle. In a triathlon Dick would pull Rick in a boat with a bungee cord attached to a vest around his waist and to the front of the boat for the swimming stage. For the bike stage, Rick would sit in a custom made bucket seat in front of the handlebars and then Dick would push Rick in a custom made wheelchair buggy for the running stage. In the early days, Dick and his wife Judy fought to integrate Rick into the public school system rather than putting him in an institution. They pushed administrators at every life stage to see beyond Rick's physical limitations and have been such an inspiration in not giving up and always saying, yes, you can.I think my key take-aways are:* The biggest limitations in life are the ones you impose on yourself* There is nearly always another way, you just haven't thought of it yet* You don't have to be the fastest or best in the world at something to be inspirational.After the interview I realised that I forgot to ask Dick what his diet was like because he used put in some serious training and was super fit for an 80 year old.Due to Dick's hereditary high cholesterol problem, he used to watch what he ate and he tried to eat healthy at all times. So his diet was basically the same everyday.For breakfastGreek yogurt with walnuts and blueberries mixed in. Also a banana and an orange and a glass of 100% cranberry/apple juice.At lunch He would do a grilled chicken sandwich or a salad with grilled chicken or tuna fish and oil and vinegar.Dinner Chicken breast or grilled salmon. Baked sweet potato or brown rice and steamed veggies with either corn on the cob or green beans or broccoli.Alternatively he would eat pasta with some chicken and fresh red peppers, mushrooms and garlic in a red sauce with a green salad.After dinner snackSome unbuttered popcorn or crackers.Pretty amazing really…I hope you find this chat with Dick Hoyt as inspirational as I did.Big HugRichPS If you'd like to find out more about Team Hoyt visit: www.teamhoyt.com This is a public episode.

Topic:  In Memory of Dick Hoyt: “Yes You Can!” I remember interviewing Dick Hoyt a few years ago - let me tell you his energy was inspiring and his story (not to mention his killer Boston accent) has stuck with me years later. After 100's of interviews, every season there is always that ONE story that ONE person who makes a difference, makes an impact not only in the media world but in your life; Dick was that person for me.  I only spoke to him a couple of times; he was gracious, funny, devoted. He invited me to stay at his house with his family and run the Rick Hoyt ½ marathon.  I couldn't swing the invite with my schedule; but I truly wish I had.  When I heard of Dick's passing in 2021, I remember wanting to reach out to his family to send my condolences. But thought, “pppffttt they wouldn't remember me, I was just a host of a podcast and a fan.” So here you go - this is my way of keeping Team Hoyt's memory on the forefront of your minds and spirits.   Beth Sims For more information on Team Hoyt click on Episode Details  https://teamhoyt.com/ Enjoying the conversation?

In this episode, “Team Hoyt - Yes, You Can!”, we will be speaking with brothers, Rick and Russ Hoyt. Rick, who was born with Cerebral Palsy, grew up in a loving family where he was treated no differently than his two brothers, Rob and Russ. When he was 16 years old, Rick approached his dad, Dick, and asked him if they could enter a race together to benefit an athlete at his school who had become paralyzed. Rick wanted to demonstrate that life could be lived fully, despite a persons' disability. Rick's dad agreed and from that point on, father and son became known as Team Hoyt, which competed in over 1,100 endurance events, such as, 5K's, marathons, triathlons and Iron-man competitions. In March of 2021, Dick Hoyt, passed away at age 80. Their mom, Judy, who passed away in 2010, was a big advocate for her son, Rick and championed education reform to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities in the state of Massachusetts. Rick and his brother Russ will tell stories about their family, Team Hoyt's racing career and the Hoyt Foundation, a non-profit organization, founded to help disabled young people through inclusion in all facets of daily life.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-448 – Dave McGillivray Boston Marathon to Covid Vaccination  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4448.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-448 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  How we doin?  Here we are flipping the page to February of 2021.  How about that?  Big news from my side of the world, that being New England, is the cold.  Cold, cold, cold.   It was zero degrees F this morning.  I just got back from 7ish miles in the woods with Ollie.  We waited until after lunch and the temp came up over 20.  Nice day, sunny, windless, cold.  It’s really good running in the trials right now.  With the freeze, the ground is nice and hard.  We got a couple of light snowstorms earlier in the week, maybe 3-5 inches of fluffy snow.  With so much traffic in the trails these days it’s all packed down and hard and fast.  It’s only icy where the spring come up.  I had a pretty good week of running coming off the end of the infected toe.  The antibiotics cleared the infection up.  I took a bout a week off, but was back on it this week.  I bought some silicone toe caps,  toe protect that toe while it heals.  They work really well for me.  For some people they fall off, but for my big toe they fit great and keep the toe safe.  I got back to training.  Had a pretty good weekend, despite the cold weather.  Friday I did a set of long hills in the cold, which were awful while I was doing them, but when I looked at the data were a decent effort.  Yesterday I did a long 16 miler in the trails.  Most of it was pretty sucky, but that’s how ultra training is supposed to go.  You run until it sucks and then you run more.  That’s the name of the game.  And Ollie and I knocked out another 7 just now so that’s close to 30 miles in 3 days.  That’s encouraging.  I didn’t take Ollie yesterday for the long run.  I thought it might be too cold for him.  I didn’t want to chance him hurting his feet.  For myself, I had to figure out how to carry water.  The challenge with this weather is that your bottles freeze in under an hour in any handheld. And the bite valves freeze even faster on your packs.  What I ended up doing was wearing my Aonjiie vest with the two 500ML bite valve bottles under my outer layer.  I had my phone in an inner layer as well.  That worked well.  The bite valves didn’t freeze and I could unzip my outer layer to get a drink.   I brought an old spring energy recovery gel from my ultra-bag; that bag where I keep all the ultra stuff, for fuel.  But when I opened it up at the halfway point it tasted like it had gone bad.  So – basically 3 hours in the cold with no fuel.  My balaclava froze to my head.   But I got it done and felt fine today.  After the antibiotics and taking a week off I was noticeable chubby so I’ve been watching my food this week and have already knocked 5 pounds off.  Today we chat with out old friend, director of the Boston Marathon, Dave McGillivray.  He is a case study in resilience and the power of a positive attitude.   This pandemic knocked his business of race directing right out from under him.  He had to pivot.  And he did.  He’s now running the vaccinations at Fenway and Gillette stadium. Of course we also sneak in some Boston Marathon talk.  In section one I’m going to talk about what to expect and how to counter the effects of aging as an athlete and in section two I’ll talk about work stress.  Because I’ve had a really stressful week of work.   And I got through it.  Next week might be worse or better – but I’ll get through it.  I try to show up with a positive attitude, have empathy and lead as best I can.  I also know I’m not going to get everything done and I make choices about what to not get done based on what’s important to me.  Getting my workouts in is important to me. Writing and communicating is important to me.  You, you’re important to me.  We’re in this together right?  That’s what they keep telling me anyhow… On with the show.

From road races to charity walks, we pride ourselves on producing safe and technically excellent events by creating trusted relationships, paying attention to every detail, and executing flawlessly. DMSE strives to produce the highest-caliber experience, whether consulting on existing events or building and managing them from the ground up.   OUR COMMITMENT Black Lives Matter.   We at DMSE Sports have always supported that sentiment internally, but stayed silent externally. However, we  want to be part of the change for good, and to do that, we recognize it’s necessary to speak out and stand in solidarity with those who are fighting for equality and racial justice.   It’s time we become better allies. To externalize our internal anti-racist beliefs, to learn from those who have lived the experiences, to listen when they point to injustices and prejudice. Black and brown lives matter, and they deserve to have an equal opportunity for happiness, success, and long life.   As a start, we will be donating all funds raised by the DMSE Foundation during the Medford2Medford race to organizations that directly support communities of color.   This is just the beginning of DMSE's effort to effect real change. We know we have a long road ahead.   OUR EVENTS The company and its 75+ consultants manage more than 30 major road races and charitable events per year, including:   New Balance Falmouth Road Race   Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital   Camp Harborview Citython 5K   Run to Home Base   Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race   BAA Half-Marathon   BAA Boston Marathon   lululemon San Diego 10K   TD Beach to Beacon   Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon   BAA 5K   Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Run   Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the Fifty at Patriot Place   BAA 10K   “There are 3 rules I never break—No questions asked. 1) Call my mom back within an hour. 2) Tell someone every day that I love them. 3) Always say yes to Dave McGillivray.” — DAVID BROWN, CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND & VISUALLY IMPAIRED THE EARLY YEARS Since 1981, DMSE has organized or consulted on more than 1,000 events, raising millions for charity and earning a reputation as one of the most thorough, well organized race management firms in the U.S.   DMSE’s first event – the Bay State Triathlon at Wright’s Pond in Medford, Mass. – attracted 100 participants and was one of the first triathlons ever held in New England and the nation. McGillivray had competed in the 1980 Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii and brought the concept back to his native Northeast. A triathlete for years, McGillivray competed in eight Ironman triathlons and introduced the inspirational father-son team of Rick and Dick Hoyt to the sport. In January of 2011, he was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame.   Triathlons were just the beginning for DMSE. As the group organized more athletic events, McGillivray and his staff quickly earned a reputation as detail minded, safety oriented and creative thinkers in the competitive arena of event management. In 1988, the B.A.A Boston Marathon noticed and appointed McGillivray technical director of the world-famous marathon, and in 2001 he was appointed race director – a title he still holds today.   PICKING UP SPEED As DMSE grew, McGillivray added to his team, hand picking the best in start and finish line management, lead vehicle programs, runner registration and results, while working with local volunteers, race committees and police and fire departments to create a smooth operation come race day. So when Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson had an idea for a road race in her hometown of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, she reached out to McGillivray and his team.  The TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K was launched in 1998 and is now among the most popular on the U.S. road race circuit, attracting some of the world’s fastest elite athletes and drawing rave reviews from participants.   Others noticed as well. From the Bellin Run in Green Bay, Wisconsin and the Lady Speed Stick® Women's Half Marathon Series throughout the U.S. to Run to Home Base at Fenway Park and Run For The Dream in Williamsburg, Va., a DMSE race is known for being safe, organized, technically advanced and produced without flaws. No wonder that in 2000, McGillivray and his team received the prestigious Race Director of the Year award from Road Race Management.    MAINTAINING THE PACE In 2014, DMSE added another high-profile event to the portfolio as the team was brought on to manage the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, MD, which has had more than 20,000 runners in each of the first two years!   PHILANTHROPY DMSE Sports also is a pioneer in what is now one of the most important aspects of the athletic industry – combining athletics with philanthropy. Nearly every DMSE endeavor has that unbeatable combination of fitness and fundraising, giving back to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children’s Hospital, Lazarus House and many others.   MILESTONES DMSE has been involved with more than 900 major events over the 30+years, but here are a few highlights:   1980 Dave McGillivray Running and Sports Center opens in Medford, Massachusetts   1981 Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises (DMSE) is born, sets up offices in Medford   1982 DMSE directs first triathlon, the Bay State Triathlon at Spot Pond in Medford   1983 DMSE produces Cape Cod Endurance Triathlon, first Ironman-distance triathlon in the continental U.S.   1984 Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises, Inc. is incorporated, April 19, 1984   1988 DMSE is hired as the Technical Coordinator of the BAA Boston Marathon.   1989 DMSE manages Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   1990 DMSE directs the Triathlon World Championship at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida   1993 DMSE manages Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race in Andover, Massachusetts   1996 DMSE assists with 100th running of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon with a record 38,000+ official entrants   1996 DMSE consultants hired to assist with venue management of all road events for Atlanta Olympic Games   1998 DMSE directs Goodwill Games Triathlon in New York City   1998 DMSE asked by Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Samuelson to manage the first TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K (then the People Beach to Beacon 10K)   2003 DMSE creates its own foundation: The DMSE Children’s Fitness Foundation   2004 DMSE manages USA Women’s Marathon Olympic Trials in St. Louis   2008 DMSE assists BAA in managing USA Women’s Marathon Olympic Trial in Boston, Massachusetts   2010 DMSE launches four new races – Spring Training 10K Classic in Jupiter, Florida; Run to Home Base at Fenway Park in Boston; Harvard Pilgrim 10K at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough; and the Run Gloucester 7-Mile Race in Gloucester   2010 DMSE Foundation launches “Running in Places” program for Boston-area school children   2010 DMSE hired as consultant to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon   2010 DMSE hired to manage 2011 Run for the Dream half marathon in Williamsburg, Virginia, and 2011 Mt. Washington Road Race   2011 DMSE celebrates "30 Years Running" March 12 with more than 450 dignitaries, consultants, and athletes; DMSE hired to serve as the race director of the New Balance Falmouth Road Race in Cape Cod in time for its 40th running   2013 DMSE manages the 25th Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   2014 DMSE assists with the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, Maryland   2015 DMSE hired to direct the USA Invitational Half Marathon in San Diego, California   2016 DMSE manages the Runner's World Half & Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania   2017 DMSE celebrates 20 years of managing the TD Beach to Beacon in Cape Elizabeth, Maine   2017 DMSE hired to manage the inaugural Fenway Park Marathon   Section two – Managing Work Stress -   Outro Ok my friends we have lined up in the parking lot between the barriers to get our shots through the end of  Episode 4-448 of the RunRunLive Podcast.   So I watched “the Dig’ on Netflix.  I’ve been excited to see it.  Because I’m a big history buff.  And if you don’t know ‘the Dig’ is a period piece about the excavation of an Anglo Saxon ship burial in , on the coast of Suffolk in England.    I won’t disparage the program but I was hoping for some archaeology and it turns out it’s more like ‘the English Patient’.  Lots of feelings and relationships and very little actual Anglo Saxon.   They don’t even show the helmet or mention king .  So if you like British period dramas go for it.  If you like archeology, not so much. The other wonderful discovery I’ve made in the last couple weeks are some very entertaining science fiction podcasts. Since I have my own “After the Apocalypse” podcast now – which you should go like and comment remember – I did some searching and found some others to listen too.  There are three I’ve been listening to on my runs.  The first is podcast that reads stories form Asimov’s magazine.  The second is , another science fiction story podcast.  And finally my favorite is .  I think I like that one the most because the editor always sounds exhausted.  They are all nice, little 20-30 minute chunk-size stories.  Perfect company for running in the dark, snowy trails.  Some are better than others.  The good ones make the so-so ones worth it.  Other than that I’m working my way through a Jimmy Buffet novel called “” which is refreshingly easy to digest.  A bit of a palette cleanser – so to speak.  Cowboys, boats, lighthouses – typically breezy Jimmy Buffet style.  Cringe-worthy at time but unapologetic. And that’s what I have for you this week. A decent week.  The days are getting longer fast now.  4+ minutes a day.  The vaccinations are rolling out.  We might even be getting on airplanes and gettiggn back out into the world soon.  Stay warm.  Stay strong.  Be a leader, And I’ll see you out there.

Of course we also sneak in some Boston Marathon talk.  In section one I'm going to talk about what to expect and how to counter the effects of aging as an athlete and in section two I'll talk about work stress.  Because I've had a really stressful week of work.   And I got through it.  Next week might be worse or better – but I'll get through it.  I try to show up with a positive attitude, have empathy and lead as best I can.  I also know I'm not going to get everything done and I make choices about what to not get done based on what's important to me.  Getting my workouts in is important to me. Writing and communicating is important to me.  You, you're important to me.  We're in this together right?  That's what they keep telling me anyhow… On with the show.

From road races to charity walks, we pride ourselves on producing safe and technically excellent events by creating trusted relationships, paying attention to every detail, and executing flawlessly. DMSE strives to produce the highest-caliber experience, whether consulting on existing events or building and managing them from the ground up.   OUR COMMITMENT Black Lives Matter.   We at DMSE Sports have always supported that sentiment internally, but stayed silent externally. However, we  want to be part of the change for good, and to do that, we recognize it's necessary to speak out and stand in solidarity with those who are fighting for equality and racial justice.   It's time we become better allies. To externalize our internal anti-racist beliefs, to learn from those who have lived the experiences, to listen when they point to injustices and prejudice. Black and brown lives matter, and they deserve to have an equal opportunity for happiness, success, and long life.   As a start, we will be donating all funds raised by the DMSE Foundation during the Medford2Medford race to organizations that directly support communities of color.   This is just the beginning of DMSE's effort to effect real change. We know we have a long road ahead.   OUR EVENTS The company and its 75+ consultants manage more than 30 major road races and charitable events per year, including:   New Balance Falmouth Road Race   Eversource Walk for Boston Children's Hospital   Camp Harborview Citython 5K   Run to Home Base   Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race   BAA Half-Marathon   BAA Boston Marathon   lululemon San Diego 10K   TD Beach to Beacon   Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon   BAA 5K   Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Run   Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the Fifty at Patriot Place   BAA 10K   “There are 3 rules I never break—No questions asked. 1) Call my mom back within an hour. 2) Tell someone every day that I love them. 3) Always say yes to Dave McGillivray.” — DAVID BROWN, CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND & VISUALLY IMPAIRED THE EARLY YEARS Since 1981, DMSE has organized or consulted on more than 1,000 events, raising millions for charity and earning a reputation as one of the most thorough, well organized race management firms in the U.S.   DMSE's first event – the Bay State Triathlon at Wright's Pond in Medford, Mass. – attracted 100 participants and was one of the first triathlons ever held in New England and the nation. McGillivray had competed in the 1980 Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii and brought the concept back to his native Northeast. A triathlete for years, McGillivray competed in eight Ironman triathlons and introduced the inspirational father-son team of Rick and Dick Hoyt to the sport. In January of 2011, he was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame.   Triathlons were just the beginning for DMSE. As the group organized more athletic events, McGillivray and his staff quickly earned a reputation as detail minded, safety oriented and creative thinkers in the competitive arena of event management. In 1988, the B.A.A Boston Marathon noticed and appointed McGillivray technical director of the world-famous marathon, and in 2001 he was appointed race director – a title he still holds today.   PICKING UP SPEED As DMSE grew, McGillivray added to his team, hand picking the best in start and finish line management, lead vehicle programs, runner registration and results, while working with local volunteers, race committees and police and fire departments to create a smooth operation come race day. So when Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson had an idea for a road race in her hometown of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, she reached out to McGillivray and his team.  The TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K was launched in 1998 and is now among the most popular on the U.S. road race circuit, attracting some of the world's fastest elite athletes and drawing rave reviews from participants.   Others noticed as well. From the Bellin Run in Green Bay, Wisconsin and the Lady Speed Stick® Women's Half Marathon Series throughout the U.S. to Run to Home Base at Fenway Park and Run For The Dream in Williamsburg, Va., a DMSE race is known for being safe, organized, technically advanced and produced without flaws. No wonder that in 2000, McGillivray and his team received the prestigious Race Director of the Year award from Road Race Management.    MAINTAINING THE PACE In 2014, DMSE added another high-profile event to the portfolio as the team was brought on to manage the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, MD, which has had more than 20,000 runners in each of the first two years!   PHILANTHROPY DMSE Sports also is a pioneer in what is now one of the most important aspects of the athletic industry – combining athletics with philanthropy. Nearly every DMSE endeavor has that unbeatable combination of fitness and fundraising, giving back to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children's Hospital, Lazarus House and many others.   MILESTONES DMSE has been involved with more than 900 major events over the 30+years, but here are a few highlights:   1980 Dave McGillivray Running and Sports Center opens in Medford, Massachusetts   1981 Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises (DMSE) is born, sets up offices in Medford   1982 DMSE directs first triathlon, the Bay State Triathlon at Spot Pond in Medford   1983 DMSE produces Cape Cod Endurance Triathlon, first Ironman-distance triathlon in the continental U.S.   1984 Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises, Inc. is incorporated, April 19, 1984   1988 DMSE is hired as the Technical Coordinator of the BAA Boston Marathon.   1989 DMSE manages Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   1990 DMSE directs the Triathlon World Championship at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida   1993 DMSE manages Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race in Andover, Massachusetts   1996 DMSE assists with 100th running of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon with a record 38,000+ official entrants   1996 DMSE consultants hired to assist with venue management of all road events for Atlanta Olympic Games   1998 DMSE directs Goodwill Games Triathlon in New York City   1998 DMSE asked by Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Samuelson to manage the first TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K (then the People Beach to Beacon 10K)   2003 DMSE creates its own foundation: The DMSE Children's Fitness Foundation   2004 DMSE manages USA Women's Marathon Olympic Trials in St. Louis   2008 DMSE assists BAA in managing USA Women's Marathon Olympic Trial in Boston, Massachusetts   2010 DMSE launches four new races – Spring Training 10K Classic in Jupiter, Florida; Run to Home Base at Fenway Park in Boston; Harvard Pilgrim 10K at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough; and the Run Gloucester 7-Mile Race in Gloucester   2010 DMSE Foundation launches “Running in Places” program for Boston-area school children   2010 DMSE hired as consultant to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon   2010 DMSE hired to manage 2011 Run for the Dream half marathon in Williamsburg, Virginia, and 2011 Mt. Washington Road Race   2011 DMSE celebrates "30 Years Running" March 12 with more than 450 dignitaries, consultants, and athletes; DMSE hired to serve as the race director of the New Balance Falmouth Road Race in Cape Cod in time for its 40th running   2013 DMSE manages the 25th Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk   2014 DMSE assists with the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, Maryland   2015 DMSE hired to direct the USA Invitational Half Marathon in San Diego, California   2016 DMSE manages the Runner's World Half & Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania   2017 DMSE celebrates 20 years of managing the TD Beach to Beacon in Cape Elizabeth, Maine   2017 DMSE hired to manage the inaugural Fenway Park Marathon   Section two – Managing Work Stress -   Outro Ok my friends we have lined up in the parking lot between the barriers to get our shots through the end of  Episode 4-448 of the RunRunLive Podcast.   So I watched “the Dig' on Netflix.  I've been excited to see it.  Because I'm a big history buff.  And if you don't know ‘the Dig' is a period piece about the excavation of an Anglo Saxon ship burial in , on the coast of Suffolk in England.    I won't disparage the program but I was hoping for some archaeology and it turns out it's more like ‘the English Patient'.  Lots of feelings and relationships and very little actual Anglo Saxon.   They don't even show the helmet or mention king .  So if you like British period dramas go for it.  If you like archeology, not so much. The other wonderful discovery I've made in the last couple weeks are some very entertaining science fiction podcasts. Since I have my own “After the Apocalypse” podcast now – which you should go like and comment remember – I did some searching and found some others to listen too.  There are three I've been listening to on my runs.  The first is podcast that reads stories form Asimov's magazine.  The second is , another science fiction story podcast.  And finally my favorite is .  I think I like that one the most because the editor always sounds exhausted.  They are all nice, little 20-30 minute chunk-size stories.  Perfect company for running in the dark, snowy trails.  Some are better than others.  The good ones make the so-so ones worth it.  Other than that I'm working my way through a Jimmy Buffet novel called “” which is refreshingly easy to digest.  A bit of a palette cleanser – so to speak.  Cowboys, boats, lighthouses – typically breezy Jimmy Buffet style.  Cringe-worthy at time but unapologetic. And that's what I have for you this week. A decent week.  The days are getting longer fast now.  4+ minutes a day.  The vaccinations are rolling out.  We might even be getting on airplanes and gettiggn back out into the world soon.  Stay warm.  Stay strong.  Be a leader, And I'll see you out there.

Folks, I am re-releasing episode 4-310 where I interviewed Bryan Lions so we could all hear his voice and listen to his story. Chris,   ... The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-310 – Bryan Lyons on Pushing Rick in 2015 (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4310.mp3] Link Intro Bumper: Hello my friends, this is Chris your host and this is the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-310.  Welcome.  We are in our final days of taper leading into the Boston Marathon.  I'm ready.  I'm right on my target race weight, I'm strong in the legs and I've done it a few times before. I'm starting from the back this year in the last charity corral.  It will take me awhile to get to the starting line and it will be crowded.  Looks like we're getting decent weather, cool and rainy.  That's actually my favorite racing weather. One of my friends from the running club is getting a limo to take a bunch of us out to Hopkinton on Monday morning.  There's no checked bags from Hopkinton anymore so we'll have to navigate the cool, wet weather on the morning with some throw away stuff.  There will be a wind.  I don't know yet if it's a head wind on not but as far back in the pack as I am there's lots of shelter if you know what I mean. I don't know if I'll be carrying my phone or not.  I'd love to be unplugged but I don't know how to get it into Boston otherwise without being separated from it for a day.  It turns out this new iPhone6 fits perfectly into one of those ½ size snack baggies and you can use the phone through the plastic. Today we have the great privilege to speak with Bryon Lyons who is taking over for Dick Hoyt in Pushing Rick this year.  It's a long one, but's that's ok.  I think we cover some good ground. In the first section I'm going to muse on this year's Boston from my perspective, as is my annual tradition. In the second section we'll talk about how to use an external brain to get important stuff done. I'm good to go for Monday.  I have a red Team Hoyt singlet that I'll probably put a long sleeve shirt on underneath because of the weather.  It's also got some rough bits that I'd like to keep off my nipples! I still need to swing by Whole Foods and pick up some Hammer Gels for the race.  I tried to cook up my own energy gels from organic peanut butter and cocoa powder but it was a disaster.  It was like when you give a dog a spoonful of peanut butter and their mouth gets all stuck.  I'll have to keep working on that.  Damn near choked me to death on my last couple long runs. We might go long today, but I'll keep my comments short. On with the Show! Section one - Running Tips Tapering into Boston Voices of reason – the interviews Bryan Lyons From “Team Hoyt Racing at Boston With a Different Look For the first time since 1980, Dick Hoyt won't run behind his son. But Bryan Lyons, a longtime supporter and runner, takes up the cause. By Liam Boylan-Pett; April 9, 2015 Rick and Dick Hoyt with Bryan Lyons Bryan Lyons (left, bib number 33864) at the 2014 Boston Marathon with Dick and Rick Hoyt. In 2014, Dick Hoyt completed the Boston Marathon for the 32nd time—each year pushing his son Rick, who's a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, in a custom-racing wheelchair. After last year's race, Dick wanted to retire. Rick, however, wanted to cover the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston again. He's going to—this year with a new running partner. Dr. Bryan Lyons, a dentist in Billerica, Massachusetts, and a family friend of the Hoyts, will push Rick in the 119th running of Boston. “It was sort of shocking for [Dick] to ask me,” Lyons told the Lowell Sun. "My friends told me [the Hoyts] don't want the big name, they want the big heart. If that's the least that I can provide, I'm happy." This will be the seventh Boston Marathon for Lyons, 44, who has run for the Hoyt Foundation marathon team since 2008, with a best of 4:15:29, which he ran in 2010. Lyons does have some experience running with Rick, 53. Since January, the two have completed a few shorter local road races and gone on training runs together, according to the Lowell Sun. If Rick isn't available, Lyons puts sandbags into the wheelchair to simulate his weight. Although Dick Hoyt, 74, won't be running, he won't absent from the marathon. He's the race's grand marshal, and will ride in a pace car ahead of the lead runners. The Hoyt's story, chronicled by Runner's World in 2007, has inspired many. Since 1977 when Rick asked Dick to push him through a 5-mile race, the father-son duo has completed more than 1,100 races, including Ironman triathlons. “Dick will continue to be at the head of the field, leading 30,000 runners on their trek to Boston,” Tom Grilk, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, said in a press release. “Dick and Rick Hoyt will forever be synonymous with the Boston Marathon and the sport of running.” Now, Lyons' name will be attached, too. Once Dick decided not to run, Lyons was an easy choice for the Hoyts. "Bryan will be out there, and he'll do his best, we know that," Dick Hoyt told the Lowell Sun. "He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it." Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain – Outro That's it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We'll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It's a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don't really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can't prepare that much. I've got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we've still got shirts if you want to register.  We'd love to have you.  Then I'm going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy. I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California. There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It's a surfer vibe. Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I'd chat them up. I say “You guys look tired and bored.” To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we're the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate. He thinks I don't understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that's something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don't get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?” I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2' means. I tell the story to the guys I'm with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn't quite fit. We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren't working. At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2' mean? He says “Well bro, it's kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That's all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved. Now you know.  You've got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…” With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don't wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff. Enjoy your race. I'll see you out there. Closing comments

"He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it." Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain – Outro That’s it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We’ll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It’s a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don’t really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can’t prepare that much. I’ve got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we’ve still got shirts if you want to register.  We’d love to have you.  Then I’m going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy. I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California. There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It’s a surfer vibe. Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I’d chat them up. I say “You guys look tired and bored.” To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we’re the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate. He thinks I don’t understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that’s something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don’t get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?” I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2’ means. I tell the story to the guys I’m with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn’t quite fit. We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren’t working. At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2’ mean? He says “Well bro, it’s kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That’s all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved. Now you know.  You’ve got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…” With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don’t wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff. Enjoy your race. I’ll see you out there. Closing comments

But, this father could see how much his son loved the experience. And, he was motivated to continue – to repeat the experience, and strengthen the bond he had with Rick. So they have run, for over 40 years now, and developed one of the most amazing partnerships in sport.

On this episode, Steve introduces us to the Book of the Week, It’s Only a Mountain by Sam Nall. The most important key points you will get from this book are: How to shift to the right mindset when going through great obstacles. The importance of having the courage to do whatever it takes in life. The challenges in taking care of a handicapped loved one and how you can find inspiration and great purpose in it. So, take time to listen as Steve reviews the book It’s Only a Mountain, a wonderful story about the love between a father and his son and what they have accomplished together. 01:45 (Steve introduces It’s Only a Mountain as the Book of the Week.) 03:22 (Steve shares one of the previews of the story.) 04:47 (Steve talks about Dick and Rick Hoyt’s origin story.)

Now this is a true story. This is like a you know kind of various biographies and sub biographies throughout the book and it's a true story of a dad who literally took his quadriplegic son who was also nonverbal and took him around and ran triathlons and ran marathons and this if you have never heard the story it really is truly inspiring and it's an amazing thing. And I love the title because it starts out with this concept that indeed it's only a mountain right and that points to the idea that you can climb any obstacle, you can overcome any challenge that's necessary and in this case you know Dick Hoyt said he wanted to help his son be a really high functioning you know kind of member of society and an athlete.

Beth James and her daughter Liza are on a journey together to compete at Ironman Wisconsin September 9th.  Liza suffered from a traumatic brain injury in a car accident fourteen years ago.  Taking inspiration from Rick and Dick Hoyt, Beth and Liza found joy through riding and running outdoors. This is an inspiring interview and story of adversity, love and discovery. Talansky competed in cross-country running at high school in Florida before taking up competitive cycling at age 17. After success in local amateur races, he moved to Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, winning the collegiate national championship race in his freshman year. He left college after one year to join the Amore & Vita team in Italy in 2009, but found the conditions unsatisfactory and returned to the US that spring.[4] He raced in the US in 2009 without team support. After a strong ride at the Tour of the Gila race, he joined Garmin for the 2010 season, moving up to the professional team for 2011, where he made the top ten at the 2011 Tour de Romandie.   In 2012, Talansky scored his first professional victory in Europe at the Tour de l'Ain, and was named Garmin's lead rider for the 2012 Vuelta a España,[5] finishing seventh on the general classification. In 2013, he came second in Paris-Nice, having led the race for two days, and was selected for the Tour de France for the first time, again making the top ten overall.   He won the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné, joining a high quality breakaway group on the final stage to overcome a 39-second deficit to overnight race leader Alberto Contador.   He retired from the 2014 Tour de France after a very uncomfortable day on his bike, due to multiple crashes. The broom wagon was following him at the end of the stage.   In September 2017 Talansky announced his retirement from competition via an Instagram post. However, the following month he indicated that he was now "un-retired" and would take up competing in triathlon   Teasers for topics: 303Merge - Bill Donkey Run Practice - Khem TO and losing the pink helmet AG World Champs in Gold Coast; Stacia and Kevie - https://goldcoast.triathlon.org/2018_itu_world_triathlon_grand_final/ Use of anti-biotics and training or racing - https://runnersconnect.net/antibiotics-and-running-performance/ Ironman Title Sponsor Amazon - http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/world-championship.aspx#/axzz5QwfJtuZ5 Video of the week: Tim and Rinny Show I lost the Pink helmet bet Make a donation at their Ironman Foundation site of $20 and be entered in a draw Talks about how the ride up to Hawi last year surprised him with 330 watts and he's preparing for that effort in his training Keep watching and there's a video of Tim getting out of his high altitude tent   Upcoming Interviews: Coach Matt Fitzgerald - author of The Endurance Diet, 80/20 Running and now 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden Jim Vance - will join us soon to take the discussion of Today's Plan to the practical application as a coach or athlete and talk in greater detail about how it can make you more effective and efficient as a coach Todd Carver, Cliff Simms and Franko Vaterott- co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

Far from being a long-distance runner, Dick agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles, coming in next to last. That night, Rick told his father, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not disabled.”This realization was just the beginning of what would become over 1,000 races completed, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons.

As you may have noticed from the sexy timber of my voice I am or have been sick.  Last week I had a sore throat that rapidly progressed into a sinus infection and I've been on antibiotics for a couple days.  I lost a week of training in the process and managed to eat 6 pounds worth of sugar cookies as well.  I'm getting fairly disgusted with myself!  I'm ready to get back on the training horse for…{dramatic pause here} the Boston Marathon!  Yes, I'm lucky enough to have received a waiver entry for the 2017 Boston Marathon.  It will be my 19th Boston.  I'm qualified for 2018, but not this year, I age up in November of 2017.  Unless they change the rules again.  It's been a long ride.  Qualifying for that first Boston in 1997 damn near killed me.  I only needed a 3:15 at the time because I was already aging up in 1998.  But I trained for and ran a 3:09 just because that was the goal I set.  I set my PR at Boston that spring of 98 at the ripe old age of 35 running a 3:06 on a nice cool, drizzly day.  I remember that day.  I remember passing Rick and Dick Hoyt somewhere in the middle miles.  They weren't as famous as they would become.  You could really see people back then, especially as a qualified runner, there were a lot less, like a tenth, the number of runners on course.  The crowds were the same but the course had a lot fewer runners. I clearly remember that day.  GPS watches didn't exist yet, but I knew I was running over my head when I caught the Hoyts.  I positive splitted that race too.  Ran like an idiot.  The last two miles were a nightmare but I was in good enough shape to tough it out.  You can see the thousand-mile stare in my eyes in the race photo from Boylston street.  Good photo.  My form is beautiful.  I've got nice, big hair with a red bandana as a sweat band.  I've got those red high-cut shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt with a nice nipple blood stain.  You remember those things.  Those moments change your life. In the same way the Hoyts have changed thousands of lives.  Just by being out there.  I hear the stories.  They all start with some version of “Little Johnny saw Rick and Dick, turned to me and said “We can do that!”, and, Bam!, I life is changed, a dream is enabled.  That art of the possible.  The frame is broken. I can be part of that by supporting these guys.  So expect me to ask you for a contribution so I can help these guys continue to change the world.  You can do that. On with the show!

As we kick off the new year, as we turn over the calendar, it's a new season.  I'm going to focus on getting back into the shape I was in for Portland.  With that fitness and actually training for the target race I should be able to go down into the 3:20's and I'd really like to do that as a vindication for these last five years of struggle before I age up and stop worrying about it.  I know.  As much as I like to act like I don't care, I guess I do.  As much as I like to pretend I'm not compulsive in my need for book-end events, I am.  I guess we're all compulsive in our own ways right? … I'll keep it brief.  I hope you're listening to this while you're out in the winter trails at night under a waning moon.  The snow crunching and squeaking under your yaktrax.  The breath blooming large like a flower of life from your lungs.  A chrysanthemum of joyous exertion.  I'd like that.  I've been figuring out how to get out in the dark and the cold and the snow myself.  We got enough snow, and it stayed, to narrow the roads and make the trails dicey.  People in the cars around me are super angry.  We only get 4 hours of sunlight or something now, so, yeah, it's a challenge to get out there, right? But you must get out there.  Out there is that other existence.  Out there is where life is.  So get out there.  Lean in…or maybe out…make someone's day. Enjoy your holidays.  Be grateful.  Hug your family.  Cuddle the dog.  Relax.  Be in the moment. Thank you for 2016. I'll see you out there in 2017.

Today we have the great privilege to speak with Bryon Lyons who is taking over for Dick Hoyt in Pushing Rick this year.  It’s a long one, but’s that’s ok.  I think we cover some good ground.  In the first section I’m going to muse on this year’s Boston from my perspective, as is my annual tradition.   In the second section we’ll talk about how to use an external brain to get important stuff done.  I’m good to go for Monday.  I have a red Team Hoyt singlet that I’ll probably put a long sleeve shirt on underneath because of the weather.  It’s also got some rough bits that I’d like to keep off my nipples!   I still need to swing by Whole Foods and pick up some Hammer Gels for the race.  I tried to cook up my own energy gels from organic peanut butter and cocoa powder but it was a disaster.  It was like when you give a dog a spoonful of peanut butter and their mouth gets all stuck.  I’ll have to keep working on that.  Damn near choked me to death on my last couple long runs.   We might go long today, but I’ll keep my comments short.   On with the Show!  Section one - Running Tips Tapering into Boston http://runrunlive.com/boston-taper-time Voices of reason – the interviews Bryan Lyons  From Runners World  “Team Hoyt Racing at Boston With a Different Look For the first time since 1980, Dick Hoyt won’t run behind his son. But Bryan Lyons, a longtime supporter and runner, takes up the cause. By Liam Boylan-Pett; April 9, 2015 Rick and Dick Hoyt with Bryan Lyons Bryan Lyons (left, bib number 33864) at the 2014 Boston Marathon with Dick and Rick Hoyt. In 2014, Dick Hoyt completed the Boston Marathon for the 32nd time—each year pushing his son Rick, who’s a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, in a custom-racing wheelchair. After last year’s race, Dick wanted to retire. Rick, however, wanted to cover the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston again. He’s going to—this year with a new running partner. Dr. Bryan Lyons, a dentist in Billerica, Massachusetts, and a family friend of the Hoyts, will push Rick in the 119th running of Boston. “It was sort of shocking for [Dick] to ask me,” Lyons told the Lowell Sun. "My friends told me [the Hoyts] don't want the big name, they want the big heart. If that's the least that I can provide, I'm happy." This will be the seventh Boston Marathon for Lyons, 44, who has run for the Hoyt Foundation marathon team since 2008, with a best of 4:15:29, which he ran in 2010. Lyons does have some experience running with Rick, 53. Since January, the two have completed a few shorter local road races and gone on training runs together, according to the Lowell Sun. If Rick isn’t available, Lyons puts sandbags into the wheelchair to simulate his weight. Although Dick Hoyt, 74, won’t be running, he won’t absent from the marathon. He’s the race’s grand marshal, and will ride in a pace car ahead of the lead runners. The Hoyt’s story, chronicled by Runner’s World in 2007, has inspired many. Since 1977 when Rick asked Dick to push him through a 5-mile race, the father-son duo has completed more than 1,100 races, including Ironman triathlons. “Dick will continue to be at the head of the field, leading 30,000 runners on their trek to Boston,” Tom Grilk, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, said in a press release. “Dick and Rick Hoyt will forever be synonymous with the Boston Marathon and the sport of running.” Now, Lyons’ name will be attached, too. Once Dick decided not to run, Lyons was an easy choice for the Hoyts. "Bryan will be out there, and he'll do his best, we know that," Dick Hoyt told the Lowell Sun. "He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it."  Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain –  http://runrunlive.com/the-power-of-the-external-brain Outro That’s it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We’ll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It’s a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don’t really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can’t prepare that much.   I’ve got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we’ve still got shirts if you want to register.  We’d love to have you.  Then I’m going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy.   I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California.   There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It’s a surfer vibe.   Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I’d chat them up.   I say “You guys look tired and bored.”  To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we’re the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate.  He thinks I don’t understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that’s something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don’t get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?”  I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2’ means.   I tell the story to the guys I’m with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn’t quite fit.   We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren’t working.  At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2’ mean?  He says “Well bro, it’s kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That’s all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved.   Now you know.  You’ve got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…”  With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don’t wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff.  Enjoy your race.  I’ll see you out there.  https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell http://www.grotonroadrace.com/ Closing comments http://runrunlive.com/my-books

"He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it."  Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain –  http://runrunlive.com/the-power-of-the-external-brain Outro That's it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We'll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It's a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don't really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can't prepare that much.   I've got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we've still got shirts if you want to register.  We'd love to have you.  Then I'm going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy.   I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California.   There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It's a surfer vibe.   Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I'd chat them up.   I say “You guys look tired and bored.”  To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we're the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate.  He thinks I don't understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that's something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don't get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?”  I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2' means.   I tell the story to the guys I'm with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn't quite fit.   We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren't working.  At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2' mean?  He says “Well bro, it's kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That's all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved.   Now you know.  You've got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…”  With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don't wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff.  Enjoy your race.  I'll see you out there.  https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell http://www.grotonroadrace.com/ Closing comments http://runrunlive.com/my-books

My friends.  My running friends.  My endurance sweet hearts.   Those of you new to our podcast, welcome to episode 4-304.  Codec-wise that’s the fourth version or iteration or generation of the RunRunLive podcast and the 304th episode.  Which is kinda cool.   And, please, know that you’re among friends.  We don’t want your money, well not all of it, we don’t want your reviews and we don’t have any t-shirts to sell I have no interest in signing you up for a subscription or coaching.  We just like to deconstruct why running and endurance sports has the ability to drive positive transformation in our lives and why this grand adventure fuels our humanity.  That’s all.  So, you’re among friends.   And never mind all that drivel I spew about zombies, and yak farming and me being a hit man for the Irish Mafia…That’s all just a little fun I’m having.  That’s just a smoke screen. Or is it?  Anyway, here we are again and I have a great show for you.  Our interview today is with Susan Loken who took up running at the age of 36 and within a few years made the Olympic trials and became masters’ marathon champion.  We talk through how it has changed her and what lessons we can learn from deconstructing her success.  It’s a great chat.   When I recorded this I was still fighting my way out of the chest cold I caught in the Caribbean and you can hear it in my voice.  Battling through adversity to bring you this lovely athlete. Susan and I were introduced by a friend of mine from the Goon Squad Runners, one of my running clubs, with the motto “No whining, just running.”  Her code name is Cougar and Susan is her coach and she’s one of the runners I respect locally for doing the work and pushing herself.   In section one, the running tips section I’m going to bring you a piece on treadmill step-up runs, which I’ve probably talked through before, but I thought it was timely with the weather pushing us inside.   In section two I’m going to revisit another topic that we’ve discussed in the past, “How to get out of a winter funk.” Again, this may not be new information for you folks, but the timing is right and I had to work through it myself again, so I figured I’d share the love.  How’s my running going?  Fairly well. As you know I’m training for Boston now.  As you also know I’ve got a heart problem that is constraining some of the ways and types of training I’ve done in the past.  Nothing life threatening, just something to work with.   To net it out, I can’t really do the tempo and speed work and a lot of the effort based heart rate training I’ve done so successfully in the last ½ decade.  Instead I’m working on building a huge base at an aerobic level and building my core strength.   What does this look like?  This is a build week for me and I’ll run 3 days of 1:45 at zone 2 effort, (conversational effort).  For me that’s like 12 miles a session, so that’s a nice 36 mile volume before I get to my Sunday long run.  Sunday I’ll do another 16 and guess what campers?  That’s 52 miles on a 4 day week.  Pretty good, huh?  On the other 3 days I’m core training. I’m experimenting with some awesome new core protocols that I think are going to work out.  It’s a totally different approach than I’ve done before and really intriguing.  It’s too early to make a call but I’ll let you know.  The challenge I’ve had this week is fitting 1:45 of running into a weekday.  I prefer to run in the daylight for these and that’s a big chunk of the work day.  I’ve been able to pull it off by prioritizing, but it’s a challenge.   The theory here is that I’ll be able to build so much strength I’ll be able to bring my pace up for the big race, maybe.  We’ll see.  For now I’m having fun with it.  I was casting about for some company for my Sunday long run today and my buddy Ryan reminded me that this weekend is the Derry 16 miler.  I went to the site and low and behold it hadn’t sold out so I signed up.  Derry is an awesome race with a stupid difficult course that brings rookies to tears.  I’ve run it at least 10 times.   For those of you who read my book of running stories “The Mid-Packer’s Lament” you’ll recognize the references to Derry.  Back in the day we ran it in snow storms and in below zero Fahrenheit temperatures.  One year we had a guy die in front of us there, no kidding.  http://runrunlive.com/my-books If you like my voice, and by that I don’t mean the digitized sound vibrations of my vocal chords, I mean the unique melody to my prose and the slightly odd way I turn a simile go check out my books of running stories.  You can get them on Amazon or as an e-book from my website or lining bird cages in the seedier parts of town.   I even read them into audio and you can find those on my website.  If you can’t find them or the website is broken, just shoot me an email.  That is my gift to you! My voice set free like a rabid Tasmanian devil, or maybe a zombie yak, to terrorize your brain and make your runs that much more interesting.  On with the show!  Section one - Running Tips http://runrunlive.com/treadmill-progression-runs Voices of reason – the interviews Susan Loken – Masters Marathon Champion and coach. http://www.believetrainbecome.com/ Growing up, I was that girl that always skipped gym class because all that exercise and sweat would ruin her fabulous Farah Fawcett hair. By the age of 36, I had reached a new stage in my life. After the birth of my 3rd son, I was sick of being out-of-shape, short on “me time,” and suffering from lack of good friendships. I was desperate for change, so desperate that I was willing to sweat. I began running and it actually felt good. My baby weight quickly dropped off and I met my first running friend, who suggested we train for a marathon. Once I was convinced that a 26.2 mile run wouldn’t cripple me, I agreed and we began training. As I crossed the finished line of my first marathon, huge crocodile tears of joy poured down over a smile so big that it hurt my face, and I didn’t even mind that my hair was sweaty. I knew that I had been changed forever. If I could finish a marathon, I could do anything! I believed in myself and I trained with passion, knowing that success would follow; in doing so, I gained confidence and the understanding that I could become whatever I dreamed! From that moment forward, I Believed, Trained, and Became a 3-time USA Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, 4-times USA Masters Marathon Champion, 3-time winner of the More Marathon in NYC, and a girl that loves her icky sweaty hair! I share my passion for running by coaching others to Believe, Train and Become! If you are a competitive runner, I can help you take minutes off of your personal record. If you are a recreational runner, I can help you improve your fitness and endurance, and reach your personal goals. If you are new to running or a walker, I can introduce you to an improved life of fitness. Between my 10 years of Elite running experience, 8 years of group coaching, numerous courses in personal training, sports nutrition, and coaching, as well my personal understanding of how to balance training with real life, I will build a training plan based on your current fitness, your goals, and your lifestyle. I will help you BECOME YOUR DREAM!! Do you want to Believe, Train and Become your dream? Let me help you! Section two – Life Skills http://runrunlive.com/getting-out-of-a-winter-funk-part-part-two (2013) http://runrunlive.com/getting-out-of-a-winter-funk Outro Hey, Hey, Hey, Episode 4-304 has drawn to a close.   The best thing about this whole podcasty running community thing is the cool people I get to talk to and hang out with.  That’s the cool part.  You guys are the cool part. I meet new people every week.  I’ll give you a couple stories from our funky online running community for this week.  I’m on FaceBook as Chris Russell and have a RunRunLive group as well.  I guess Facebook must recommend me as a friend to other runners because I get friend requests, like everyone does.   Usually I click through to make sure they are real people and not robots or spammers.  I can tell by the number of friends we have in common.  If their profile picture is them smiling with a bib number pinned to their chest, they’re in. If their profile picture is them grinding up the side of a mountain, yop, they’re in.   This week I had a lady send me a friend request.  I clicked through and there were the familiar pictures of a mature, athletic woman in her running stuff.  But, the next series of pictures from her Instagram had me baffled, I’m thinking, what is that? A baby squirrel? And clicking on them I soon realized that these were pictures of the detailed anatomical nature.  I mean, I have nothing against you sharing liberally, but I couldn’t friend you.  I was having pictures of our relationship ending with me being held for ransom by the Russian mafia and I decided to head that off at the pass… Today I’m working and a friend request comes through.  I look at this lady’s profile and it seems kosher so I accept.  (don’t worry this story has nothing to do with baby squirrels) A few minutes later I get a message “Always good to meet fellow runners!”   I figure I’ll play nice and respond, “Nice to meet you, what are you training for?”  She says, “I’ve run 3 5k’s and am planning for a 10K.” and goes on to tell me how she’s just started and still has to run walk. I tell her it’s the best part of running to be a new runner starting on the adventure.  She asks me how long I’ve been running.  I say “A few years…” Then send a picture of my medal rack and marathon quilt and tell her about the podcast.  So welcome to my world Chrissy.  Nice to have you on our adventure.  … I know I’ve been saying this for months, but, honestly, my new book on how to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 weeks while holding down a full time job and a family is done and edited.  I’m pulling the website together and I really like this one.   It’s not so much a ‘how to’ as it is my manifesto on racing and training the Boston Marathon.  I did not choose to write it.  It chose to be written.  I really like it.  Patience, I’ll get it up in the next two weeks.  Finally.  I need your help.  And by help I mean money! For my Team Hoyt campaign for Boston.  I remember the first time I met Rick and Dick Hoyt.  It was in some 10K or 5 miler somewhere back in the 90’s.  I remember passing them in the race.  Later when I was talking to Dick at a race expo I related that story to him and without missing a beat he said, “Yeah, I remember that race, I had a chest cold or you never would have caught us.”   https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell And that’s the thing about Dick and Rick.  They didn’t set out to change the world.  They set out to run.  Like we all do.  They did what they could do.  They ran.  They weren’t doing it to put on a big show or to call attention.  They were part of the community up here.  They put in the work.  The qualified for Boston under the original 2:50 standard years ago and the BAA wouldn’t let them run in the race.  But they kept showing up and doing that thing that we as runners do.  They ran.   This humble man with this simple thing eventually changed the world.  And I’d like your help to keep Rick and Dick’s legacy going.  I’d like your help to propagate their ripples in our pond.  This is good in our world that we can help.   Please go to my crowd rise page https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell and help sustain this good in the world.  Twenty bucks folks, that’s a way you can make ripples in our pond.  And that, my friends is how leadership works.  It’s like radiation.  You radiate as an individual and as a leader.  And what you radiate influences the people who come into contact with you.  If you cultivate stress and negativity, that’s what you will radiate and that is the pollution you will propagate.  But if you radiate positivity and leadership in your thoughts and actions that will radiate out from you and change the world.  Let’s change the world.  And while we’re changing the world, I’ll see you out there.  Closing comments http://runrunlive.com/my-books

Dick Hoyt is the father of a child who at birth was classified as the equivalent of a vegetable. Refusing to accept this assessment, he played an instrumental role in the development of interactive technology that enables the speechless to communicate effectively. He has participated in more than 200 athletic events such as marathons and triathlons in which his adult son is pushed in a wheelchair, carried on a bicycle, and pulled in a boat. He has inspired individuals all over the world to undertake activities designed to enrich the lives of the disabled. In this interview, Dick discusses how important it is to be an advocate for patients, as well as the disabled, fitness, and perseverance.

Subscribe via iTunes Questions From a First Year Triathlete I interview first year triathlete Randy Messman and answer his training questions.  Randy was one of the show's listeners who responded to a request on the Triathlete Training Facebook page.  He is training for the TexasMan X-50 Tri in May with a distance of 1 mile swim/40 mile bike/9 mile run.  Messman became interested in triathlon after watching a Dick Hoyt video on Facebook. His questions include: How do I reduce decoupling of heart rate and pace? Randy runs at a very easy heart rate on the treadmill and finds his heart rate increases significantly yet the effort still feels easy and his pace doesn't change. How much speed should I expect to gain in my first year? How do I determine LT using a field test? Should I train in zones 4 and 5 if I'm racing for a longer event? What is the minimum number of training sessions I need each week for each event? Subscribe to podcast via iTunes

Pastor Brian begins by showing us a video of the father and son team, Rick and Dick Hoyt and asks us the question,"Are you running alone?" We all need someone to lean on... lean on God. God also wants us to be inter-dependent with one another... not independent. Together has power! He begins with an introduction of why we need each other. 1. It's safer. 2. It's supportive. 3. It's smarter. 4. To witness with others. We need to look out for each others' souls and keep being concerned about one another. Community is God's answer to defeating satan. We will focus on deepening community within the church and then reach out into the community around the church. Under it all, we need to lean on Him!

When Beth’s mom, Barbara, was diagnosed with MS at the age of 38, a lot of things quickly seemed out of control and out of reach. Her mother’s confinement to a wheelchair was now the new normal. However, nothing seemed to be able to stop Barbara’s (Babsie) from wearing her room-filling smile.  Years later, when Beth went to a local running event, she saw Rick and Dick Hoyt running in a modified wheelchair, since Rick was unable to walk or speak after being born with Cerebral Palsy.  Once Beth saw the father-son duo doing the impossible, she knew that she and her mother could do those events too. She got a hold of a Hoyt “Blade” running wheelchair and started running with her mother, creating Team Babsie.  To date, they’ve completed tons of 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, marathons, triathlons and charity bike rides. Last summer, Team Babsie pushed Babsie to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. Currently, they are training to qualify for the Boston Marathon and in the Spring of 2020 they are headed to Spain to walk a part of the Camino de Santiago I hope you enjoy this story of inspiration, commitment, and love.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW_dvMh1tm0 Athletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.
