Run Yank Run 018: Hustle Bustle

Hello again, sorry for the delay in getting this next episode out, I've been swamped at work!

In this episode I take you for another of my very noisy morning commute runs from Chiswick to my office near Paddington.

I talk about the upcoming half marathon in Oxford for the Worldwide Festival of Races, how busy I am, training and the lack thereof, ramble on about food cravings and such.

Well c'mon then, let's get out there and run!

Run Yank Run 017: Street Feet

Back to the shorter episode format, since this was recorded on a commute run from home to work. Wow was it noisy! Sorry in advance, but between the wind, street sweepers, blowers, concrete saws, and jackhammers, I was challenged to filter out the noise. Hopefully it isn't too bad.

This week I have been battling schedule conflicts and the persistence of this sinus thing from the last head cold. It just wont go away!

A Dream Inspires - Worldwide Festival of Races

Here's a video created by @SteveChopper taking us through the half marathon course for the Dream Inspires team running 2009 Worldwide Festival of Races in Oxford UK on October 11.

He did a fantastic job with the video and I welcome you to sit back and enjoy the architecture and the excellent route. I'm really looking forward to this run and to meeting other UK runners and podcasters!

I am embedding the video here, but just in case you cant see it, here's a link to his blog.

Run Yank Run 016: Richmond Pt.2

Here's Part 2 of last week's Sunday long run in Richmond park. It was supposed to be an 11-miler, but the run in the park was longer than expected and it ended up 12.

Great run, thanks for hanging in there for part 2!

After that run I got a nasty cold and wasnt able to run all week, AGAIN. Ugh. Well, I know my body can handle the mileage of a half marathon, I just am not putting in the miles I need for fitness, etc.

There's always tomorrow and next week...

Run Yank Run 015: Richmond Pt.1

Well, the long-winded episodes just keep on rolling, with this one hitting 45 minutes. Actually, I cut this one in half - there's lots more of this recording session to come in episode 16!

But let's live in the here and now, shall we? In this episode I take you on my Sunday 11 mile long run to and through Richmond Park. This place is simply amazing! I took a few photos:

It was a fantastic run and I will definitely be going there again. So as I wrote above I recorded WAY more than I could fit into a single episode, so stay tuned for Part 2 in Episode 16!

Thanks everyone for listening, and keep running!
