"4:09 to 9:02" Boston To Oklahoma and New York CitiesBeyond the Bombingsby David HamelA newlywed couple were in the midst of unsuccessful fertility treatments at a nearby center during the time of the Oklahoma City bombing which occurred at 9:02 am on April 19, 1995. The personal heartbreak and simultaneous loss of 15 children at the day care center in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and its aftermath set a sorrowful resonating tone of great sadness, acceptance, and getting on with life for the veteran marathon runner and his wife. But the impact of the second aircraft at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 at 9:02:59 am assured that would not be so. That is, until the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. The clock at the finish line during the first explosion reminded him of his first marathon time of 4:09 in 1990. That "Hey You" moment coupled with the death of an eight-year-old boy near the finish line and a very close date of the Oklahoma City bombing reignited long dormant reactions and emotions of 1995 and earlier life events. Thus began a passionate journey to reclaim the Boston and Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon finish lines in 2014 and 2016. This is the story of an Air Force Sergeant and his wife, of teddy bears and babies that weren't to be & ... and of letting go.David Hamel is a retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant serving over 30 years on active duty in aircraft maintenance and as Director of the Air Force Enlisted Heritage Research Institute in Montgomery, Alabama. He is a past Alabama State Commander of the Korea Defense Veterans of America and past Eastern District Commander of AMVETS, North Carolina. He has performed 175 Prisoner of War-Missing In Action (POW-MIA) remembrance ceremonies and has served as the state POW-MIA Chairman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Departments of Alabama and North Carolina, and is a past National Aide-de-Camp. He is also an All-State and All-American Post Commander. Dave is an Eagle Scout and served in scouting as a Troop Chartered Organization Representative, Eagle Scout advisor, and as State and National Scouter for the VFW.Completing 31 years of marathon racing, and locally known as the “Ray Road Runner,” Dave has finished 131 marathons in all 50 states, and has two Boston Marathon finishes. Nicknamed “Scrappy” in the Fort Bragg, NC ice hockey community, he is a bronze and silver medalist team winner of the annual North Carolina State Games .Dave is a motivational speaker on fitness and self-preservation, and Air Force history and heritage. He has also earned dual Masters Degrees: Human Resources Development, and Computer Resources and Information Management.He resides in Spring Lake, North Carolina with his wife Gloria, of 28 years.https://pageturner.us/bookstore/409-to-902-boston-to-oklahoma-and-new-york-citieshttps://linktr.ee/dghamel     http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/22924pt1.mp3

In this episode we are going to do a race recap of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. This marathon is special as there is so much meaning and history to it. In April of 1995, two men destroyed the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City filling 168 people, 10 of which were children. This marathon exists to keep the memories of those victims alive and remind us that we can overcome hard things when we come together. One highlight of this marathon included an expo with a panel of legends (Bill Rodgers, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Dick Beardsley, and others) who were there to answer questions of the running community. In this episode we also got to interview race director Kari Watkins.

How do you conquer various obstacles in your path? And how do you maintain a positive attitude despite all adversities? Discover how as I interview Mark Bravo, a veteran of over 500 races and around 50 marathons with the love of the positivity of those at races! WATCH THE YOUTUBE VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/nBqkF_c1C9E  Mark Bravo is a 40-year runner and 20-year national running coach. Mark is a longtime Race Announcer, hosting such venues as the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and others around the southwest United States. He has a personal best at that distance of 2:44. The vibrant engagements at these events have kept him racing since 1981, though more so Mark now lives vicariously through participants by calling them to "their Finish Lines!" Mark sees everyone as an athlete; his mantra is: "All Abilities, All Athletes", and you quickly find that his definition of the word goes well beyond the physical! Mark lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, and you can find him calling most every local road race (if it doesn't require being in 2 places at once.) He always welcomes a conversation, and his gratitude for what the sport (and people around it) have lent to his life is clear to see. https://www.runbravo.com/ ***This episode was previously LIVE, so giveaways, comments, and questions cannot be entertained at this time.

Serena Marie, RD: Carbs Serena Marie, RD answers a Periscope viewer question, “When is the ideal time to eat carbs?” Keep in mind that every body is different. Carbs get a bad rap at times, so remember that Serena defers that we get carbs from non-starchy foods. Carbs create a spike in insulin that acts as the “annoying neighbor” to get your cells to open up and let sugar in. Carbs are best utilized before your workout. Post-workout (40+ minutes of cardio), you can eat carbs to replenish sugar for your muscles. For people who have trouble sleeping, having a serving of carbs an hour before bed might be helpful (like milk or fruit). Sometimes diabetics find that their blood sugar is elevated in the morning, so they might benefit from a lower-carb breakfast.
