Run Yank Run 029: Ash Cloud

Hello again. Sorry for yet another massively long silent spell, I go into the reason for this podcast's absence in great detail in this episode, but in short it goes like this: I got really sick in March, work exploded, then we went on holiday in Spain and got stuck due to the volcanic ash cloud.



Our trip was great and we really enjoyed getting away. We saw never ending orange groves, over-developed beachfronts, ancient castles, and the inside of a Spanish hospital when one of my children got pneumonia (!). He's perfectly fine now but that was a bit of drama for the trip.

I go over being stuck in Spain due to all flights being cancelled due to the volcanic ash cloud and our journey home by bus and ferry.

And finally I talk about the running I have been doing, an upcoming race, and conducting an interview for the Runners Roundtable podcast next week with Alex Vero, a UK documentary filmmaker, runner and creator of the documentary "Running to the Limits."

Run Yank Run 025: Merry Christmas!

A very Merry (Happy) Christmas to you!

This run is along the Thames on a chilly but not frigid Christmas Eve. This week there has been snow and ice but the temps warmed up a bit - at least enough to melt the ice and create some decent mud for the towpaths, hehe.

I hope all of you have had wonderful holidays!
