Running Virtually Just Plain Dave

A brief recap of my 10-hour and 40-mile ultra race at the Last Human Standing event. A wacky interlude with a flying squirrel! And a final farewell to my trusted companion, Westminster Abbey a.k.a. Brown dog.

Recap of a perfect day to spectate at the Boston Marathon, a little too warm & dry for peak running performance. And I saw bats feeding at sunset on a warm spring evening. #runwithjoy #bostonmarathon

Recap of highlights of the 20 trail runs completed between December & March 2024. A great success and good fun as a team endeavor.

Learning important life lessons from my 14-year-old brown dog sidekick. Sharing an update on the Border Patrol Challenge, some fun snowy trails and some flood damaged challenging trails. And a brief memorial to a good friend Bob Devlin, who passed away this week. Bob was an positive influence on me in my running journey. Rest in peace, Bob.

Thoughts on my winter trail running challenge: 20 routes along the CT & RI border and the benefits of being part of a team. Comments on the importance of unscheduled, unobligated time 'just hanging out (credit to The NYT Ezra Klein show with Champlain College professor Sheila Liming). And a bonus summary of family fun around the holidays. Merry Christmas and seasons greetings.

A few brief thoughts in the week leading up to the MCM race weekend, my travels in Washington DC and a recap of the race. It was warm & humid, but I got the most out of my day. #marathon #runwiththemarines #theextramilepodcast
