Hi Running Friends!

What if seven to ten minutes could reset your fitness, steady your mood, and strengthen your heart? I am touching on the topic of micro running—short, purposeful runs that deliver benefits without demanding an hour or a perfect schedule.

If this episode helps you rethink what “counts,” tap follow, and share it with a friend who thinks they’re too busy to run!

Today I'm sharing how glute and groin pain nearly ended marathon running (for good), and why a simple running belt turned out to be the hidden culprit.

Lesson: treat gear changes as a training variable.

Hey Running Friends!

I share the harrowing experience of being hit by a car while running on a sidewalk two years ago and my ongoing journey to recovery both physically and mentally.

If running is something you truly have passion for, seek out every avenue to keep it in your life after setbacks. The people who can help you get back to what you love - doctors, physical therapists, counselors - are worth investing in.

Hi Running Friends!

Today's episode is about plogging- "picking up" while "jogging". I participated in an event put on by The Boston Run Show in March with Tina Muir of "Running for Real". I started listening to Tina's podcast back in 2018, and since then she has evolved into an advocate for sustainable running and hosts plogging events around the country.

Hey Running Friends!

The Boston Run Show has transformed into an extraordinary event combining running with outdoor adventure at the massive Boston Convention Center. It featured running legends like Des Linden, Meb Keflezighi, and Laz Lake alongside innovative gear and community activities.

Give this episode a listen, and plan NOW to be there for next year. Those of us who are ambassadors just found out it will be held at The Royal Plaza Trade Center on February 28-March 1, 2026. This change of venue will allow for a better vendor experience, free parking and an outdoor space. The event space is 30 miles outside Boston in Marlborough, MA.

Make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter and following me on social media for free tickets to next year's show, which I give away from September right up to the event weekend.
