What.....is.....up! Well it's been 2 weeks since my race, and I have finally had time to process and record some thoughts about it. It was a fantastic event that far and away exceeded my expectations. Huge thank you to the Pumpkinman staff, volunteers, and RD for putting on a super top notch event. The race sold out a month in advance, and it is easy to understand why. They really put on a great event. I would also like to thank every single person who has supported me throughout this experience. All of your kind words and support did not go un-noticed. It really meant a lot to me. I would also like to thank my wife Natalie and my children for their constant support. Without that, none of this would be possible. I hope you enjoy this episode.

What.....is.....up! Welcome to episode 41 of the Runlikehealth podcast. I have a great show for you this week. I talk about the race that wasn't meant to be. Hurricane Irene had other plans for the FireMan tri. The event was turned into a swim/run, and I decided not to go. Not because I didn't want to, but mostly because I had my first significant bike accident about 2 days before the race. When it got to be the night before the race, I was still pretty sore so I backed out. I just didn't want to aggravate anything with Pumpkinman 70.3 still in front of me. I also had a chance to sit down and chat with Barb, aka Kelownagurl from the Kelownagurl Tri's podcast. It was awesome to chat with Barb as always.

What......is.....up! Welcome to episode 40 of the runlikehealth podcast. As always, thanks so much for checking out the show. I've got a real treat for you this week. Coach Brett from Zen and the Art of Triathlon makes a second appearance on the show. Awesome interview with a really cool cat. We discuss all kinds of endurance sport goodness, including but not limited to, epic 13 hour swims, suffering, crashing on rollers, smoking a cigarette before a 10K. Good times! When you done listening to episode 40, go check out the Zentri website and podcast. I promise you will not be disappointed.

What....is.....up! Welcome to episode 39 of the runlikehealth podcast. Thanks so much for listening to the show. This week, I give a training report right out of the good book. The actual log book that I right down (with a pen) all of my training workouts. It's uber modern! Training is going well. Starting to hit some big mileage weeks leading up to my races. I was suppose to do an open water swim today, but the weather is less than favorable, so I will have to try to get outside this week. To the trainer I go.

I have an outstanding interview for you in this episode. Mandy, aka caratunkgirl, is a very inspiring person from the northern reaches of Maine. Mandy just finished her first Ironman in Lake Placid a few weeks ago. We talk about her race, her training leading up to the race and wardrobe malfunctions. Mandy had some really great insight to share on IM training. I hope you enjoy hearing the interview as much as I did doing the interview. You can find all of Mandy's links below. Check out her blog. It is awesome!

What.....is.......up! Welcome to episode 37 of the runlikehealth podcast. In this episode I do a lengthy 2 week post marathon training update. Training is going well. I have transitioned well into full on 70.3 training. It's odd, but in many ways I'm finding this training cycle much easier than marathon training. The intensity will pick up for sure, but it's just overall a lot less impact on my body.

In this show, I have a big announcement that I'm very excited to share with you. I talk a little bit about deconstructing cravings, and I also answer some cycling questions from listener Bill.

This weeks iPod roulette submissions are from listener Tonya, as well as a live submission from Jeff over at the Reflective Runner podcast. Great stuff guys, Thanks.

What......is........up! This installment of the runlikehealth podcast is produced in a little bit of a different format. Last week, I created an audio log of my thoughts, and what I was doing in the days and hours leading up to the Sugarloaf Marathon. I recorded a few minutes here and there through out the week. At the end, you'll here a very nice voicemail from Megan the Vegan Running Mom, as well as a race report. It was a big day for me, as I bettered my previous marathon PR by nearly an hour. Thanks for downloading and listening to the show.

What....is.....up!  I'm back....did you miss me?  I had a bit of a hiatus there for a month.  Life has been crazy.  Training has been epic.  Having the time of my life.  3 Weeks until Sugarloaf 26.2, and I'm feeling very dialed in.

In this weeks show, I have a very lengthy training report, a great interview with Jon from the Garden variety Tri podcast.  I also talk about a product review I did on H2O Audio's latest version of the Interval waterproof MP3 system.  Check out that review here.
