Why We Run Podcast

In the before times, I had this podcast where I interviewed runners, while we were running. It literally took me years to figure out how to record people running: I made a ton of mistakes, fails and heaps of frustrations. (kinda like learning to run...eh?)BUT I nailed it down, and it was great! 13 glorious episodes of heavy breathing, feet pounding and truth telling...all while running and laughing. THEN COVID. BOO.But we are back and I am interviewing people who happen to run, but via Zoom this time...Season 2, if you will. So far I have interviewed writers, musicians, a singer and a BISHOP! Each episode is full of laughter, fun and we get deep into why people run. And if you would do me a solid, please subscribe and share...because sharing is caring. THANK YOU! Want to start running??

    Lessons on a 50k: Riding the Wave

    A 50k is scary, and so is doing a podcast without a guest. Different scary, different hard. But here we are! Here's quick episode on the lessons of my first 50k train run, why I did it and my analogy of the phases of building to a goal, doing said goal and recovering from the event. It's a lot like surfing; sitting on the beach, looking for your angle and reading the waves, working to get out, resting from the work and then the waiting, surfing and wiping out or coming safely to sho...

    Mardi Fuller Is Running The Show (Movie)

    The film, Mardi and the Whites, is a layered look at relationships; The tie between The White Mountains in New Hampshire and Mardi Fuller. The bond Mardi has with the outdoors. And the beautiful connection Mardi finds with herself, as an outdoors woman, and her desire to share it with others, especially people of color. Granted, I am not a film critic, but I cannot say enough about Paula Champagne's movie Mardi and the Whites. It's beautiful and powerful. I get (GET!!!) to interview Mardi abo...

    Kelly Lieberman is Running Again

    A lot has happened since Kelly and I first met a million years ago in my Couch to 5k Club. She did the 5k and trained for her first marathon, when this happened. She went on the complete a marathon and then another one. She got married, moved to New Jersey, got on the cover of Runner's World magazine, had a movie made about her and was all set to run the Boston Marathon with her husband and her mom when covid hit. And as many of us did, she stopped running. But she's back and ...

    Beth Whitman Runs The World

    I re-interview Beth after she was on the first season of the podcast. We became running buddies through the pandemic and really grew a amazing friendship. Beth hated running when she started when she was in her late 40's. When she questioned the internal barriers in her mind and asked herself, "What if I could run a marathon" her running life took off and took her around the world. Luckily for her, she's a world tour guide and owner of Wandertours. We share a similar passion about ...

    Jennifer Louden Is Passionate About Desire

    I am over the moon about talking to Jennifer Louden! I first saw her at a woman event where she gave a barn burning talk about burning barns down. Then when I saw she was the co-host and writing coach at Lauren Fleshman's Wilder retreat, I knew I had to go, especially since I was green (and still greener) at this whole writing game. She was warn, accessible and full of amazing tools. Fast forward to the pandemic, when she launched her first self-published book, Why Bother?, ...

    Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows is About Loving Yourself

    When Jennifer isn't running, teaching, biking or being a mom, she is traveling around for her work as the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis. She is the first black woman to be elected a diocesan bishop, and she is also a runner. She has been running since college, when she was on the crew team and had to run to the boat house. I met Jennifer in 2017 on a shuttle bus for a Oiselle running camp in Pennsylvania and we connected over 80's music, motherhood and running, an...
