I have finally made it to double digits in the half marathon training program I'm following. I also found out big time that those mid week runs of 7 miles have a purpose and I need to start running them! All that and some updates about the 47th Annual Ashland Railroad 10k Run in this episode. Thanks for downloading the show!

Week 3 training for the River City Half is done and I'm feeling pretty good with the program I'm following. It's a "relaxed fit" perspective I'm taking to this training cycle vs. "bootleg" style. Listen to the show to learn more about that!

Maybe more like weekend wimpy, but I'm getting out there. This show has some societal observations which maybe you've never thought about.
Six time Ironman John Pendergrass died Wednesday, 11-8-2023, at this home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. John was a husband, father to three, grandfather to several, medical doctor, author, friend, marathon runner, and a Vietnam Veteran. He lived a full life and will be missed. His obituary can be viewed here John Pendergrass obituary. John is my cousin.
John wrote two books about his extraordinary life:
Against the Odds
Racing Back to Vietnam
I've gone from 50 miles a week to a 2 mile run. Covering two miles is a success for where I'm at with my running fitness. That and more in this show which includes an encore presentation of episode #199 from 2014.

I'm recovering from a situation I didn't think I would have as a runner. It's not tragic or anything like that. I make that distinction because I have close friends who are coping with more than I can imagine at this point my my/our lives. I've produced this show to provide some information about me and to show respect to a few of my local running buddies.
