Run Yank Run 038: Park Life

Cough Cough, sniff sniff. I've been under the weather with a nasty sore throat and cold. This episode was recorded at Ravenscourt Park on a Saturday afternoon with the kids.

There hasn't been much running this week due to this bug, but I do discuss running in my new Evo II minimalist running shoes from Terra Plana, my blunder in not getting my race entry posted in time for the White Peak Half Marathon (bummer!), and running marathons and a potential half marathon in 2011.

Run Yank Run 037: Muddy Sunday

Happy 2011. This episode is pretty long at almost an hour, but when you run 10 miles on a Sunday and haven't put out an episode in a while I guess there's a lot to say.

In this one I talk about some running goals for 2011 including a full marathon and perhaps a 50 mile ultra, and the possibility of swimming the English Channel as part of a relay! That last one is unlikely, but hey, a guy can dream, right?

I also talk about the new Nike+ GPS watch and my new and as-yet untested Vivo Barefoot running shoes from Terra Plana.

I'll be testing these badboys tomorrow on a short commute run.

Lastly, I'm sorry to announce the end of an era - Nigel has decided to hang up his podcasting hat and retire the Running From The Reaper podcast - the one that inspired me to start this lil ole podcast. Nigel, you will be missed.
