The Running Grind Joseph D

Usually when I do these episodes, it’s more about sharing the runner’s run journey but this turned more into two runners/frienss catching up and talking about the past year of running, including the @chevronhoustonmarathon on Sunday. So it’ll be like you pulled up seat to a conversation.

I’ve only seen Jin face to face maybe 3 or 4 times since we met back in 2021 but he’s probably one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters from the running community and vice versa. Just a generally good guy who loves to see you crush goals while he’s crushing his goals. And this year alone, he went from a 3:20
Marathon in June to a 3:10:18 on Sunday at Chevron, missing his BQ by 18 seconds. But he’s ready to try for it again this summer. 

Today, we chat with @chevronhoustonmarathon ambassador, Christine Mulvania, on the eve of her 4th marathon taking place in Philly this weekend. 
.
Although we connected on IG two years ago, we finally met in person at the Houston Half and knew she’d be great for the show
.
She’s had a life full of adventures but also heartache. She has many reasons for running that all started to honor and support her mother. And she continues to runs as a result of her own health issues that she graciously shares in this episode
.
Thanks again for letting me share it

Almost 2.5 years later, we run it back with Corey Joyner and catch up on his run journey. With a move to the west coast, he’s living that sub-3 marathon life consistently and still improving. We talk life, Boston, training and what the running future holds for him

After 8 months,I felt it was time to make a return to the mic. And to help shake off the rust, I thought I’d catch up with someone who was so easy to chat with the first go- around 

I could definitely tell I was out of season but Tori was amazing and made it comfortable as I tried to get my sea legs back.

We catch up two years down the road and see where her life and run journey has taken her

Ep. 71: Let’s Run with Chris & Christina Speaks
.
We head to the state of Washington to chat with this husband and wife duo who took on the challenge of the @texasindrelay . A 200 mile relay race from Gonzalez, TX to Houston, TX
.
But the relay is just part of their amazing life story of beating the odds, sticking together and persevering 

Fresh off the @chevronhoustonmarathon , we chat with ambassador, Rosa Perez, who ran her first live marathon while also serving as a race ambassador. We recap her training season as well as chat about the race itself and the entire weekend.
.
Also a staple in the running community, she is also lead ambassador for @latinasrunhouston which has grown far beyond what she imagined in just a short time.
