It's Time to Wake and Seize the Day As I approached my surgery date for my amputation I began to dream. I dreamt of all the things that could be a challenge and how I was going to conquer each challenge. I created a vision board, set goals, and dared to dream of rising above my circumstance. My Vision Board Once that surgery happened, I began to set my sights on each goal: learning to walk as quickly as possible, skiing with my family, learning to surf, virtual races, and then a 10k, in person, at the Phoenix Rock'n'Roll Marathon. Skiing for 1st time-3 1/2 months post amputation Sled Hockey-1 month post amputation Phoenix Rock'n'Roll Marathon: 10K race for St. Jude- 1 year post amputation Virtual races all done as an amputee Surfing for the first time...ever! I worked hard at PT, I trained outside of PT, got back in the gym, and dreamed about reaching my goals. Each day I would wake up and jump at the opportunities to become stronger, mentally focused, and created smaller goals to get to the big ones. I had purpose and I was driven. My "WHY"-my husband and my two sons My family was backing me through all of my endeavors, and I am so grateful for that because as I set my goals and worked toward them, I grew stronger and more confident in my new abilities. My family became my "WHY". Why I was doing what I was doing was so that no one had to cater their life for me because of the position I was now in as an amputee. I wanted to be strong, confident, self-sufficient and totally independent to be the wife and mom they had always known. When you wake up and are given another day on this planet with the people in your life, you need to see that you have purpose. No matter what you are going through, or the challenges you are facing, you have something to offer this world: a smile, a kind word, inspiration, your talents. There is more to you than your physical being. You were given a soul to share in this world. You were gifted with talents that only YOU could possess. It is up to you to make good on them, to see past your own circumstances, and give each day your best. YOU have purpose. If you have breath in your lungs, you have purpose. What is your purpose in life? What gifts do you possess that the people, your community, could benefit from? Who or what is your "WHY"? What gets you up and charged each morning? First thing is to figure out your "WHY". Who or what makes you want to be stronger? More fierce? Unstoppable? Who do you live for? Write it down! Next, figure out what you want to do with this life you are given. You are more than your circumstance(s). You are more than your physical body. Don't define your goals, dreams and ambitions by your situation. Tell yourself you can do whatever you set your mind to. Now write down what you want to do in the next couple of weeks, months, and by year's end. Dream it, do it! These goals and ambitions give you your purpose. Example: I began looking for ways to help others on their amputation journey. I wanted to use my positive outlook to help others and to show them that life wasn't over after amputation, just different, and adaptable. You are a warrior! Be strong, find ways to conquer and live your best life...No matter your circumstance you always have purpose and something to give this world. As always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love, Angie

During Your Bounce Back? Me in my very bouncy running blade April is Limb Loss/Limb Difference Month and I am excited to share with you several guest speakers throughout the month and into May, however, we had a major setback yesterday and will have to reschedule them for another week. Turning my setback into a setup, I spent most of last night frustrated and upset that my plans, well-thought out but still botched, coming up with what I feel is a super start to this special month. Our support groups, people, family, friends, and companion animals! Yep, let's turn the tables and give thanks to those who were by our side, through thick and thin, through the good times, and the bad. Those that helped us laugh when we wanted to cry and held our hands when we were afraid. Who was there to support you? Who stood on the sidelines and cheered you on? Who protected you? Who visited when you felt alone? These are the people (and maybe animals) who deserve our utmost gratitude and love. They saw us at our worst and lifted us up so we could shine. Today I am grateful for the medical staff who helped me through, for my family back home, for the friends who checked in on me and brought my family dinners, and to my husband and 2 boys who were my biggest fans, strongest supporters, carrying me through hard times and bad news, to making me laugh until I cried. I wouldn't be where I am today without all of you! I am forever grateful for every note, call, meal, smile, appointment, taxi service, adjustment, joke, and hug you all supplied me with to get me through. YOU are my heroes! My hubby, high school sweetheart, and biggest supporter. I love you! Best kids in the world and always there for a hug! My family! 5 siblings (I'm the youngest

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show" In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg chats with icon and a legend in the world of Triathlon and endurance sports Mike Reilly. Mike has done announcing and television for Running and Triathlon events worldwide since the late 70's. He's had a microphone in his hands for 1000's endurance events. Mike Reilly is best known as the Voice of Ironman and has announced 100s of Ironman events around the world, including 33 Kona Ironman World Championships. 100's of thousands of triathletes worldwide have heard his famous phrase “You are an Ironman!” and he has called millions of athletes across a finish line. An IRONMAN Hall of Fame, USA Triathlon Hall of Fame member and Running USA Hall of Champions. He's a a world-renowned race announcer, commentator, podcast host “Find your finish line podcast” and author to his inspirational book “Finding my voice.” Mike called his final race, Dec 10, 2022 at Ironman New Zealand. Over 40 years of calling events… this man is truly an Ironman! Timestamps 3:40 - Interview with Mike Reilly begins 6:49 - Mike explains how he came to the decision to retire and the thought process involved. People identify me for what I've done ... but I identify myself by my family 10:37 - Walking away from his last race call in Kona was incredibly special and emotional. Mike explains how he felt and how it played out. It's not just you saying goodbye to the sport, it's the sport saying goodbye to you 15:11 - Are athletes still gonna hear the phrase "YOU are an Ironman"? 17:25 - It all started for Mike Reilly in San Diego, CA, where Mike found his passion for endurance sports while training and racing local events in Southern California. He ran the first of twelve marathons in 1978 and competed in his first triathlon in 1979. That was the same year he picked up a microphone for the first time. Two years later he announced the first ever professional triathlon in Solana Beach, CA. He also called the first ten years of the Rock ‘n' Roll Marathon, the most popular marathon series in the world. At the end I just said to myself ... it's just time! 22:00 - Mike explains the story on how he called his first race. It's about much more than standing with a microphone calling out finishers' names. Mike's 19-hour day typically starts before 5:00 am, where he presides over the swim-to-bike transition area as athletes rack their cycles and make last-minute adjustments. He provides critical information about late-breaking changes, course conditions, and the minute-by-minute schedule necessary to get the swim off to a smooth start. He's then responsible for guiding the athletes into the water and providing instructions about the particulars of the starting protocol, including “gentle guidance” about their positioning. After the swim gets underway, Mike keeps spectators informed about the relative positions of the leaders, and then announces the names of athletes as they complete the swim and head out on the bike portion. During the day, Mike positions himself in a variety of locations to watch the athletes as they come in on the bike and hit various spots on the run course, constantly updating the spectators as to the leaderboard as well as conditions out on the course. Then it's over to the finish line, where Mike will spend over nine hours bringing in every athlete in the race, providing nuggets of personal information about as many of them as it's possible to squeeze in. During the last hour or so of the race, as the clock winds down to the 17-hour cutoff mark, Mike will come down from the announcing booth and move right next to the finish line. At that point he'll do whatever it takes to keep the crowd energized and the last, struggling finishers motivated to make the cutoff: He'll shout, dance, wave a towel, and even run into the finishing chute to run alongside exhausted athletes and shout encouragement. When they step across the line, they're treated to the sweetest sound in the sport: Mike yelling “You are an IRONMAN!” at the top of his lungs, as he's already done as many as 2,500 times that day. 27:45 - Mike tells the story about how the phrase "You are an Ironman" came about. 33:29 - Mike's Instagram message announcing his retirement. Don't worry, you'll be an Ironman tomorrow ... 33:29 - Mike's Instagram message announcing his retirement. 35:59 - Mike has written a phenomenal book; Finding My Voice with stories from his career. He shares a few of the most memorable stories with us. 40:31 - The finish line at an Ironman is one of the most 'alive' places you can every experience. Mike and Greg discuss the stories and metaphors for life that exist around completing an Ironman race. 43:03 - Mike describes some of the low moments where he may have said things on mic that he now feels was not appropriate. You can't do that kind of stuff when you are publicly on a microphone 50:23 - Mike and Greg discuss the process of writing the book - Book: Finding My Voice 54:57 - Be sure to subscribe and listen to Mik'e podcast - Find Your Finish Line 58:30 - Mike and Greg discuss the sport of triathlon ... where it is now, where it's come from, and where they see it going in the future. Competition can only make you greater 1:04:11 - Mike and Greg wrap up with some fun rapid fire questions; One book you would recommend? The Power of One - Bryce Courtenay Two most-used apps on your phone? What 3 people would you want to have dinner with (nonfamily, living or dead)? GOAT triathlete of all time? Out of 10, how cool are you? Who would you want to play a movie of your life? Which decade of music is the best? Where is somewhere you haven't been, you'd like to go? Greatest movie of all time?

What's holding you back from achieving your goals? What fears are keeping you from living your best life? Today I talk about creating baby steps to reaching the goals you have and how I faced a fear of my own yesterday. Baby steps to reaching your goals are still steps toward your goals. They need to be celebrated and you should feel great when you do accomplish them. So much of my past few years you've seen me do big things: skiing, surfing, hiking large mountains, but sometimes it's the small steps that mean the most. Yesterday was one of those days. Join me as I share how stressful yesterday was but how I chose to see the positive in the baby steps. #babysteps #keepmovingforward #runningblade #ottobock #wiggleyourtoes #adaptiveathlete #ampstrong #amputeelife #aka #facingfears #challenges #calltoaction Gym time My 1st race Starting line of the Phoenix Rock n Roll Marathon 2 parts to this week's CTA: Figure out what is holding you back from achieving something you want, set small, baby step goals to get yourself there. Like I did yesterday on the treadmill, it was only for 10 minutes and I wasn't running, but I got myself out in public to attempt something I hadn't done in over a year. Have grace with those around you. We never know what battles people are facing, but assume they are if they aren't being nice, and remind yourself that it has nothing to do with you, and move on. As always: Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love, Angie

The Boys are missing David today, but Jamie made it back, so Scott wouldn’t have to do an A-to-Z Rock-n-Roll Marathon. President Biden announced the CDC’s new guidelines for masking, saying unless in a group, masks are no longer needed while outdoors. Biden will be giving his first speech to Congress this evening, and bookies in Las Vegas are preparing for a busy night. After walking away from the podium yesterday, the President said he was going to be in trouble for answering a question. We are reminded how close Vice President Kamala Harris is to the Presidency, so we’re also reminded of her absolutely dismal record. Vaccine equity is of utmost importance to the Biden administration, and Joy Reid’s explanation of “vaccine hesitancy.” After losing in the battle for the NASA space contract, Jeff Bezos was teased by Elon Musk for his inability to “get it up.” LeBron James is on record bashing police and calling them names, but apparently he insists on having their protection for himself. With Zoom meetings taking over many business settings, dental work has become the new boob job.

Anne Mahlum could write a book on audacious goals. First, she went from running a regular route past a shelter to launching a national non-profit, Back on My Feet, that uses logging miles as a way to combat homelessness. Then, she started a chain of fitness studios—[solidcore]—that’s gone from two locations to 68 and counting since just 2013. And oh yeah, she’s also run a marathon on every continent—including, most recently, Antarctica, where she took on 26.2 miles with just seven weeks of training. Next up, she’s aiming to run the Rock n Roll Marathon in Washington, D.C. That might not seem so bold, until you learn that she was in a serious jetski accident last summer that left her with a compound fracture in her femur. That means she’ll be lining up for the race less than 10 months later—but she won’t be alone, as more than 600 people have pledged to train and race with her, as part of a team she’ll calling [stronger] together 2020. When I talked with Anne for this episode for #WeGotGoals, it’s clear that she’s highly motivated by a desire to share something she’s passionate about, whether it’s running or recovery or a killer strength-training workout. In this episode, she talks about how she’s learned to listen to her inner voice, embrace her values, and prepare for setbacks ahead of time, so she can continue to move forward. We discuss: 2:31: How she took Back on my Feet from idea to reality 6:38: What made her decide to move on 8:51: How she’s learned to listen to her intuition and get in touch with her values 12:59: The narrative that keeps many of us from going for big goals 14:24: What [solidcore] is and why she feels so strongly about spreading it across the country (and beyond) 21:46: How her identity as an athlete is fueling her recovery from injury, and why the marathon goal has been so critical 25:50: Exactly how she’s approaching rehab, both physically and mentally, to achieve that goal 27:52: Why preparing for the worst actually helps her do her best 33:32: Her big goal for the future of [solidcore]—100 studios by the end of 2020—and how she’ll get there 35:02: The one line she’ll never say in business 40:00: Her biggest pieces of advice for overcoming obstacles Links/resources we mention: Anne’s website and Instagram Back on My Feet [solidcore] The [stronger] together team If you love this episode as much as we do, subscribe to the #WeGotGoals podcast wherever you like to listen to podcasts, including on Apple and Spotify (and hey, leave us a rating while you’re at it!).

Freshly returned from another Las Vegas trip - my seventh of 2019 - I'm here to share another World Famous Jeff Does Vegas Trip Report! This time around, I've got a review of my Ultra-Hip room at Planet Hollywood as well as meals at Eggslut, Herbs & Rye, Grand Lux Cafe at the Venetian, Ri-Ra Irish Pub at Mandalay Bay and the opening of The Front Yard at Ellis Island. I've also got thoughts on the in-game experience at T-Mobile Arena with the Vegas Golden Knights, why Rock N' Roll Marathon weekend is a terrible time to arrive in Vegas and I'm re-sharing my advice on how to cross the road in Las Vegas.

The Manchester City Marathon in Manchester New Hampshire bills itself as the largest running event in New Hampshire. The 13th edition of the race was held on Sunday, November 10th, 2019. My youngest sister, Autum Haley, traveled with me to this race. It her first half marathon after having her 4th child last year. This was my 62nd marathon in my 49th state. Only one state to go! Race Recap: The Manchester City Marathon The expo/bib pick up was located at the Millennium Running Store in Bedford, NH the day before the race. They also offered race day pick up the morning of the race at race headquarters in Veterans Park. This was a nice option for those who lived somewhat locally. I got a message the night before from a MTA listener named Kathleen on Instagram that her son had eaten one of the UCAN bars she needed to fuel her first marathon. She was wondering if I had an extra she could get. I’d brought a couple extra for my sister and was happy to give her one so we arranged to meet the next morning. It was fun to be able to meet Kathleen and her sister that morning and get a quick picture. We did a MTA Meet up at Backyard Brewery on Saturday evening and it was fun to meet Allie who lived about an hour away as well as Jane and her running team. Jane is the mother of Noelle, one of my first coaching clients. Noelle has gone on to become a trail running rock star completing three 50 milers, two 12 hour races, and recently ran her first 24 hour race (she ran over 94 miles and was the first place female)!Race Morning: The marathon, half, and relays started at 8:50 am and were broadcast live on TV. The 5k started at 9am and had a different course. The starting area was in front of the SNHU (Southern New Hampshire University) Arena in downtown Manchester and was very close to the hotel we were staying at. It was wonderful to be able to wait in the warm hotel lobby until just a few minutes before the race and not have to stand outside in the cold for an extended period of time. The weather was clear and in the low 30’s at the start and there was a slight breeze which made it feel even more chilly. I decided to wear shorts, compression socks, a short sleeve race shirt, arm sleeves, light knit gloves, my lucky hat, and my On Cloudswift shoes. I was also wearing a long sleeve throw-away shirt (which I got rid of at mile 2).The Course: The marathon and half marathon course were identical for the first 13 miles. At mile 13 the race returned to downtown Manchester where the half marathoners finished and the marathoners ran right by the finish line to start the second half of the course. I found the first half of the race to be quite hilly and challenging. My watch showed a total of 1,273 feet of elevation gain for the whole marathon but I’d estimate that at least 800-900 feet of that was in the first half. Most of the course was around the city of Manchester, through the historic mill yard district, and into the suburbs. There are several sections where the course runs along and over the Merrimack River. The course did start to flatten out around mile 16 and at 16.5 we started an out and back section that went to mile 20.5 on the Piscataquog Trail. It was a dirt/gravel surface and there were some roots, rocks, and mud/ice puddles that had to be navigated around. Then the course proceeded to the Goffstown Rail Trail. This is a very scenic portion of the route as it follows the Piscataquog River back to Manchester. At mile 22 the run crosses the new “Trestle” bridge and continues back to the city, crossing the footbridge over the Merrimack River, and running the final miles in downtown Manchester. The final mile goes by the finish area again, turns off Elm street to cross the bridge, and then returns back to Elm Street to the finish. I found that final mile to be challenging because we were teased with the finish and then had a final overpass hill to run up which felt enormous at that point.Aid Stations/Fueling: Official race aid stations were located approximately every two miles and were well supported. Each one had water and sports drink and a few offered other fueling options. There were also a surprising number of unofficial aid stations like a lemonade stand, someone handing out small water bottles, a mimosa stop, a beer stop, and people handing out candy. I stuck with my fueling strategy of using Generation UCAN bars washed down with water from the aid stations. Use the code MTAMANCHESTER to save 15% on your order. For first time customers use the code MTA25.Finish Line: There were a good number of spectators along the final stretch and they had an announcer calling each runner’s name who crossed the finish line. The total number of marathon finishers was 360. There were 562 who finished the half marathon and also quite a few relay teams. There were 270 finishers for the 5k. The medal was huge and featured stained glass elements behind buildings in Manchester. They also did race tracking and offered free race pictures and a finish line video. The shirt was a very nice long sleeve technical shirt. My Experience: I ran with a guy named Carlos for a few miles which helped pass the time. He’s also pursuing his 50 states and working up to a BQ. I ran by feel during the race and only looked at my watch at each mile split. I felt a bit tired just going into the marathon but wanted to run as strong as possible while listening to my body. The uphills and downhills in the first half were challenging and by mile 18 my lower body felt done. It was one of those feelings that I’ve had during marathons in the past when you feel like walking, but walking doesn’t actually feel any better. Since I knew this I tried to keep my stride and gait consistent and run relaxed in spite of my fatigue. My glutes and hamstrings were particularly sore but thankfully my feet felt good. I finished my 62nd marathon (and state #49) in 3:43:01 and was 2nd in my age group. I got a mug and reusable drawstring bag for the AG placing. Autum was at the finish line to meet me and get some pictures. It was great to see her and find out that she had a good half marathon, finishing in 2:19. They had a nice food area with yogurt, soup, flatbread pizza, chocolate milk, and coffee. The heat sheet felt good because the temps were still cool. We headed out later to find a post-race meal and just happened to see Kathleen, the lady who needed the UCAN bar, finish strong. Here’s what she wrote in later: Hi Angie, Thank you so much for meeting me this morning with the UCAN bar. Here is the photo of us. What a highlight for me to get to meet you. Congratulations on a great run today! You inspire your listeners so much. I finished today, my first marathon, in 5:33:17. The miles seemed to fly by and I had a fun experience. Thanks for your great training plan that got me there. Sincerely, -Kathleen I also heard back from Jane from the MTA meet up Hi Angie, What a pleasure to meet you – and your sister Autumn. Kudos to Autumn for traveling, running and being a mom and wife! Pretty amazing! We enjoyed our dinner with you, and the race the next day. We did well on Sunday: Kelsey & Laxmi competed the 5K – Laxmi’s 2nd race ever! Jen, Suzanne, Emily and I did the half marathon. I’m pretty sure it was Emily’s 2nd fastest half. Sara did her 1st marathon at the 2017 Hartford Marathon in 5:10:01. Last week in Manchester, using the MTA training plan, she finished in 4:35:50 !!!! So great!! I am on a quest to be a 50 stater for half marathons. I have 17 completed. Manchester was a repeat state for me – but my 32nd half! I hope that you and Trevor have continued success with MTA. I have certainly enjoyed listening, using your training plans, doing the virtual half and especially wearing my Release the Kraken hat!! Thanks again. -Jane Also Mentioned in This Episode MTA Meet Up at the San Antonio Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. Trevor will be running the San Antonio Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon on December 8th.

Plus Angie shares tips on how to get the most out of your shoes . . . And you will hear from a runner who’s been listening to the MTA Podcast since the very beginning.

He’s also the founding editor of Trail Runner Magazine. His new book is called Kicksology -the Hype, Science, Culture, and Cool of Running Shoes, published by VeloPress. He lives and trains in Colorado. In this conversation we discuss the evolution of running shoes from the over-built (heavy) sneakers of the late 80’s and 90’s to the Minimalism Movement that swept through 10 years ago giving rise to shoes like Vibrams and Newtons to the carbon plate technology of Nike Vaporfly and Next% hitting the shelves today. Plus brands like Hoka, Altra, and On-Running that stand out from the competition with their unique design concepts. You will also hear some tips on how to choose the right shoe for you and why it is wise to have a “quiver” of shoes to rotate during training.

In this week’s episode, I caught up again with Carrie Combs (@carriethecrohnie) to follow up on her recent race at the Nashville Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and to go deeper into some of the emotional aspects of Crohn’s Disease, along with the coping mechanisms and habits that made dealing with a Crohn’s diagnosis even more challenging. At the end of this episode we talk about the half marathon she completed in April with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation’s Team Challenge and run down a quick gear and supplement checklist for distance running! Diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease 8 years ago, Carrie has had three surgeries, countless medication changes, and–as she puts it–a lot of really bad days. We talk about her transformation since diagnosis that took her from using food as a reward (only to find out the things she once enjoyed were causing her harm after her diagnosis), bottling up her emotions, and not asking for help, because she believed she was burdening people, to finally learning how to fill up her own personal cup of happiness and being stronger and more resilient to deal with the challenges that life with Inflammatory Bowel Disease brings. For newly diagnosed patients or family members working to understand IBD, we talk about what it’s like to feel lost in the beginning, not wanting to feel like a burden to the people we love and care about, and how finding a passion or setting goals can help in the journey. Carrie's Distance Running Gear & Supplement Recommendations: A good pair of running shoes: Highly suggest going to a local running store and getting fitted. This isn’t the place to cheap out–your feet, ankles, shins, hips, and back will thank you later. Hydration belt: Some people will use the water bottles with a handle. I personally don’t like feeling unbalanced or having anything in my hands, so I prefer a belt. Mine has a pocket for my phone so that I don’t have to have anything else on me.o https://fitletic.com/ Body glide: Any part of your body that touches repetitively over a few hour period will get chaffed if you don’t use this. It’s similar to Vaseline but won’t stain your clothes.o https://www.bodyglide.com/ Compression socks: I have erythema nodosum, which is a skin condition that is related to having Crohn's. Inflammation and joint pain are some of the symptoms. so I’ve found that a good pair of compression socks helps. Electrolytes: Nuun and Salt Stick are my go-to brands. Both are relatively inexpensive. I use one Nuun sport tablet every afternoon as part of my everyday hydration.o https://nuunlife.com/o http://saltstick.com/ Fuel for long distances: Honey stringer chews or gels. These personally are the only ones I’ve tried that don’t upset my stomach. Sunglasses: I personally use Goodr. They are available at most running stores and online. They are polarized, non-slip when you get sweaty, and only cost $25-$35o https://goodr.com/ Epsom Salt: Best feeling after a long run is soaking in Epsom salts. Lots of people also swear by ice baths for recovery, but I’m not a fan of the cold, so I’ve just never felt the need to try that, lol!

In celebration of Global Running Day, and our exciting new partnership with Westin Hotels & Resorts, I'm thrilled to share this podcast that I recorded with Westin's Global Run Concierge, Chris Heuisler. Wait, what's a Run Concierge? Well, just picture a regular concierge at a hotel that can give you recommendations on where to eat, or what to do while in town. Well that's what a Run Concierge does– but to help you stay active and healthy while traveling. Do all hotels have a Run Concierge? Nope. Just Westin. That's how committed they are to health and well-being. And that's why we are so thrilled to be partnering with them. As you know, we seek to partner with mission-driven companies who want to help us all live healthy and make an impact. Westin is the perfect example of this. They are absolutely the hospitality industry's leader in well-being. And, beyond the hospitality industry, they are helping to blaze a trail for how all companies should think about their commitment to health. I've gotten to know Chris over the years, seeing him at marathons all over the country. As you'll hear in this podcast, is the genuine article, very much woven into the running community. (Though he was visiting NYC from Boston, we were hardly running 10 minutes before he started seeing friends like Dr. Jordan Metzl and Mike Cassidy.) He also has a lot of great tips that we'll be sharing throughout the rest of the year. Here's one: The World's Greatest Stretch. Personally, I want to especially thank Chris– not just for recording this podcast with me, but for being instrumental in helping us forge this partnership with Westin. Chris and I planted the seeds for this partnership over two years ago at a Rock N' Roll Marathon expo. Thank you, Chris for helping to make it a reality! #LetsRise #EveryMileMatters Subscribe on iTunes / Subscribe on Stitcher / Subscribe on Google Play The post Chris Heuisler, Westin's Global Run Concierge: Let's Rise! appeared first on Charity Miles.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-356 – Talking Communities with Kevin Gwin of the Extra Mile (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4356.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hey there! It's a new year! I know we lost a lot of celebrities in 2016, but you and I made it, right? So welcome to a new year. And welcome to the extra-mile edition of the RunRunLive Podcast. That's right I grabbed our friend Kevin Gwin away from his Beatles albums and Galloway chatter to talk to me about communities of runners and how the world has changed since we started doing this a decade ago. How was your 2016? Glass half-full or tank half-empty? I'm going to quote my favorite race ‘A' goal. “I didn't die!” The rest is gravy I guess! Let's see what I can remember… I think we started the year running the Hangover Classic 10k on January first and jumping in the ocean. Then in January didn't trundle the wife off to Phoenix for a quick vacation that included the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon and a bunch of cool sight-seeing? Did I not run a bunch of the local races leading up to Boston? Like Derry and Stu's and Eastern States? Did I not Have a great training cycle? The best in 5 years right? Then we ran Boston and learned that lesson about going out too fast that somehow never gets learned. But, we checked off our 18th Boston, didn't die and raised some coin for the Hoyts. Do I seem to remember capping off 10 years of Race Directorship of the Groton Road Race? The race and the club managed to survive my term and handed it off to someone even more capable! There might have been a couple weeks in May where all that caught up with me and I slowed down with a small case of pneumonia, but you can't get rainbows without rain. I jumped out of that rough patch by running the Grand Canyon with my newly graduated Daughter. How cool is that for a bucket list checkoff? The summer was a bit doldrum filled, but I capped it off with another nice vacation to Chicago, yes I did see a Cubs Game in Wrigley Field. Apparently my good karma rubbed off on those fellows later in the year. I shook off the heat and placed in that trail marathon in Indy. I returned to my old friend the Wapack Trail for a long outing in the rocks on Labor Day. Then I turned around and spanked that Spartan Beast a couple weeks later, making a fair amount of young people cry. Somewhere in there I lost 15 pounds and showed up for the Portland Marathon lean and light. I got lucky with the weather and requalified. I joined my club for the Ayer 5k tradition on Thanksgiving and our end-of-season shindig at the Mill Cities Relay. This past Saturday I ran the 4th edition of my very own made up marathon and I'll tell you about that later. Goodreads tells me I read 27 books. I know I wrote at least 52 articles. I pushed out 26 podcasts. I trained almost every day. Pretty good year, right? Was it perfect? Was it filled with challenges and accidents and side turns? Of course, it was. If everything is smooth sailing and your life isn't filled with challenges you're not living, you're waiting to die. I don't know if any of that stuff would be considered worthy, or good or bad. I try very hard not to waste time keeping score. It's simpler. Get up and do stuff. Do what you can do. I have a sign by y desk that reminds me that consistency and practice are a reasonable substitute for genius, it says; “Work the Process.” Anyway, today we talk with Kevin. In section one I'll talk a bit about breathing. I was thinking about this topic this week and wanted to poke at it a bit. In section two I'll probably pull some more nuggets out of the Drucker book I've just finished. (that would count as number one for 2017, if I was keeping score!) … BeforeI let you go I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported. We have a membership option where you can become a member and as a special thank you, you will get access to member's only audio. I'll also remind you that I have started raising money for team Hoyt for my 2017 Boston Marathon. I would appreciate any help you can give. The fundraiser is on Crowdrise (so I don't have to touch any of the money) it goes straight to the Hoyts and supports acquiring equipment and supporting others who want to participate like the Hoyts do. My family and I go over to my Mom's for Christmas Eve. I was driving around in the truck with Buddy doing errands on Saturday and she called me to see what time I was planning to come. I asked her who else was coming, because I had some nieces and nephews I was trying to get presents to. And she must have thought I was qualifying the gathering because she said “It's not the number of people who show up, Chris, it's the quality of the people who show up.” There ya go. Happy New Year.

Section two The Effective Executive - http://runrunlive.com/the-effective-executive-peter-e-drucker Outro Alrighty my friends. New year, new lease on life, right? Blank slate for us. You my friend have diaphragmatically breathed your way through the end of Episode 4-356 of the RunRunLive podcast. Strange cadence to the holidays this year. It seems like everyone disappeared for 2 weeks on the business side. I was trying to make calls and I couldn't get a response out of anyone. Now this week they are all emerging from the woodwork with a corresponding urgency! As of Monday I'm back on my clean eating wagon. It feels good. My goal is to see if I can get down to 165 pounds for the Boston marathon. It's ironic that the government BMI tables have always told me I should be between 155 and 165 for my height. I always thought that was bull. At that weight I'm going to be somewhere in the 6-7% body fat. Should be able to see some of those ab muscles I've never seen! I'm healthy and my training is going well. Coach has me in the build-2 stage, which means I'll start ramping up the volume and working in some intensity. I did one last idiotic thing to close out the year, well, actually two things. I hosted the 4th annual Groton Marathon. We made it more official this year. We set up the clock and had people ‘register'. We got some blank buttons with the club logo on them. I Left a piece of notebook paper on the tailgate of my truck and had people sign in their name, distance and make up a bib number. The official bibs were the buttons. I gave them a sharpie to write their numbers on the button. Of course, given the geekiness of runners I didn't just get numbers. I got two pi's, a mu, a natural logarithm and a tally mark five. Then I had them write down their finishing time when they were done. So we could get results. I handed out handmade holiday ornaments as medals. I got about 24 people to come out and run various differences. The ½ was very popular. Two other guys joined me for the full. Given the shape I was in it was probably about 4-6 miles more than I should have been running – but we got it done, finishing up around 4:09. It hovered just below freezing for the whole day. I guess the lesson here is you don't need to be a $150 Rock n Roll event to get out and have fun with your buddies. Because of the odd way the holidays fell, the Hangover Classic was the next day. I ran the 5K with Teresa and we all jumped in the Atlantic, as is our tradition. It was interesting running the day after a marathon. I just stretched out and let my legs do what they wanted. I survived. Now I'm back on the plan and ramping up for Boston. It's good to have a compass point to steer towards. On a different note, Buddy the old Wonder dog is doing ok. He can't run much anymore because his his back hips are very weak now. He's not in any pain, he just has trouble getting up and down. He still climbs the stairs and jumps up in the bed. He's still perfectly mobile, but I think his running days are over. He's started his new career as a lap dog to keep the girls warm at night. Not a bad gig. … We had a warm day with rain this week and it washed most of the snow and ice from the trails. I was able to get out for a run. Out behind the pond I found a cell phone in the ground. I brought it home. It was a droid in an Otter case and it still had a charge on it. It was locked so I couldn't tell whose it was. I brought it home and put it on the charge. It rang a couple times, but I couldn't get to it in time. I ended up dropping it at the police station. I hope the owner thinks to call down there. I feel like I should put a sign up on the trail that says “I found your cell phone and left it with the Police.” I also tried to give blood. Funny story. The Red Cross were sending me desperate emails. I tried to make an appointment on their website, but my experience is that making an appointment really has no impact on the process. It's not the most organized process. Of course the lady is taking my HR and I tell her it's going to be low, but she enters it and the system flags it, and she has to call a doctor to get it overridden. Crazy right? I sometimes feel like we get penalized for being healthy. Then they hook me up, she can't find a vein, because, I guess I ‘m a bit grissley. She fishes around, calls the other guy over, he fishes around, they finally find some blood flow and get me going. Couple minutes later the next person wanders by and notices that I've dried up. She fishes around for awhile, then they give up. They unhook me and I'm done. That's it. They don't get a bag of blood. I get a bottle of water, a t-shirt, a Dunkies gift card and a bruise. So, I'm not complaining but there's an hour and a half of my life I think we could make better use of! Anybody else have this challenge? Seems like a process that could use a bit of effectiveness consulting, eh? … So my friends. Here we are in 2017. Ten years in. Remember when you were a kid and 10 years seemed like such a long wait? Now it's the blink of an eye. It's up to you to slow it down. You have to grab time by the tail and hold on tight, or as Ferrris said, you might miss it. We tend to get caught up and tied up by all the things undone, piled up and leering at us. I think you have to actively counter that. Especially in these early days of the calendar when we're all thinking about goals and list and priorities. I leave you with one of the sentiments from my daily practice. Focus on executing today, living now, being present in today's tasks and let the outcomes take care of themselves. And.. I'll see you out there in a healthy, prosperous and joy filled 2017.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-356 – Talking Communities with Kevin Gwin of the Extra Mile (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4356.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hey there! It’s a new year! I know we lost a lot of celebrities in 2016, but you and I made it, right? So welcome to a new year. And welcome to the extra-mile edition of the RunRunLive Podcast. That’s right I grabbed our friend Kevin Gwin away from his Beatles albums and Galloway chatter to talk to me about communities of runners and how the world has changed since we started doing this a decade ago. How was your 2016? Glass half-full or tank half-empty? I’m going to quote my favorite race ‘A’ goal. “I didn’t die!” The rest is gravy I guess! Let’s see what I can remember… I think we started the year running the Hangover Classic 10k on January first and jumping in the ocean. Then in January didn’t trundle the wife off to Phoenix for a quick vacation that included the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon and a bunch of cool sight-seeing? Did I not run a bunch of the local races leading up to Boston? Like Derry and Stu’s and Eastern States? Did I not Have a great training cycle? The best in 5 years right? Then we ran Boston and learned that lesson about going out too fast that somehow never gets learned. But, we checked off our 18th Boston, didn’t die and raised some coin for the Hoyts. Do I seem to remember capping off 10 years of Race Directorship of the Groton Road Race? The race and the club managed to survive my term and handed it off to someone even more capable! There might have been a couple weeks in May where all that caught up with me and I slowed down with a small case of pneumonia, but you can’t get rainbows without rain. I jumped out of that rough patch by running the Grand Canyon with my newly graduated Daughter. How cool is that for a bucket list checkoff? The summer was a bit doldrum filled, but I capped it off with another nice vacation to Chicago, yes I did see a Cubs Game in Wrigley Field. Apparently my good karma rubbed off on those fellows later in the year. I shook off the heat and placed in that trail marathon in Indy. I returned to my old friend the Wapack Trail for a long outing in the rocks on Labor Day. Then I turned around and spanked that Spartan Beast a couple weeks later, making a fair amount of young people cry. Somewhere in there I lost 15 pounds and showed up for the Portland Marathon lean and light. I got lucky with the weather and requalified. I joined my club for the Ayer 5k tradition on Thanksgiving and our end-of-season shindig at the Mill Cities Relay. This past Saturday I ran the 4th edition of my very own made up marathon and I’ll tell you about that later. Goodreads tells me I read 27 books. I know I wrote at least 52 articles. I pushed out 26 podcasts. I trained almost every day. Pretty good year, right? Was it perfect? Was it filled with challenges and accidents and side turns? Of course, it was. If everything is smooth sailing and your life isn’t filled with challenges you’re not living, you’re waiting to die. I don’t know if any of that stuff would be considered worthy, or good or bad. I try very hard not to waste time keeping score. It’s simpler. Get up and do stuff. Do what you can do. I have a sign by y desk that reminds me that consistency and practice are a reasonable substitute for genius, it says; “Work the Process.” Anyway, today we talk with Kevin. In section one I’ll talk a bit about breathing. I was thinking about this topic this week and wanted to poke at it a bit. In section two I’ll probably pull some more nuggets out of the Drucker book I’ve just finished. (that would count as number one for 2017, if I was keeping score!) … BeforeI let you go I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported. We have a membership option where you can become a member and as a special thank you, you will get access to member’s only audio. I’ll also remind you that I have started raising money for team Hoyt for my 2017 Boston Marathon. I would appreciate any help you can give. The fundraiser is on Crowdrise (so I don’t have to touch any of the money) it goes straight to the Hoyts and supports acquiring equipment and supporting others who want to participate like the Hoyts do. My family and I go over to my Mom’s for Christmas Eve. I was driving around in the truck with Buddy doing errands on Saturday and she called me to see what time I was planning to come. I asked her who else was coming, because I had some nieces and nephews I was trying to get presents to. And she must have thought I was qualifying the gathering because she said “It’s not the number of people who show up, Chris, it’s the quality of the people who show up.” There ya go. Happy New Year.
