Intro:
Hello and welcome to the blue grass of Kentucky podcast, where the grass isn’t really blue, but it is a very comforting shade of green. From the air coming into Lexington much of it looks like a high-end golf course, without greens or sand traps. There is a meandering river that has carved itself into the landscape and you can see the layers of clay rock, the bed of some ancient ocean, on the steep bluffs. But, as you get closer to the city the bucolic scene resolves itself into the usual ordered sacks and rows of suburban sprawl that wraps around all out cities.
But I digress. This is the RunRunLive Podcast. And, for now, this is Chris your host, and we have a great show for you today.
We chat with an interesting dude, Dr. James Stoxen who will enlighten us on many interesting things from his role as doctor to performing artists, including some relevant revelations that may help you with your running, or at least your wiggling.
It’s a long interview so the other segments will probably shrink to fit – good news for you less of me talking.
I continue to recover and run lightly into the 2012 version of the Boston marathon. I have been traveling this week so I got a couple runs in on the road. One in Atlanta that was a struggle and gave me no confidence and another in Lexington KY that was wonderful, and gave me hope.
My goals for Boston are as follows.
- Finish.
- Have fun.
- Try to break 4 hours.
This will be my 14th Boston marathon. It hasn’t always been easy. A full third of them were disasters where I went out too fast ande suffered in the last few miles, swearing I would never race a marathon again. A precious few were marvelous races where I paced from tape to tape like a pro, toughed it out and made myself proud including a marathon PR many years ago. More recently I have discovered the joy of negative splits and had some respectable and enjoyable races. Some of these you and I have shared.
But, this year I just want to survive. I’m working with almost a year off and 6-7 weeks of sketchy training.
Logistically it’s going to be hard because I will be getting passed by thousands of runners. My qualifying time slots me in with the 7:45 pace but I’ll be lucky to turn in 9:00’s. I’m going to have to walk early and often and that is going to make people mad. It would make me mad! Especially in the first few miles when all the rookies impale themselves on the down hills.
But, we’ll manage, as we always do.
On with the Show!

It took me a few months…but I kept at it and now can present to you The Mid-Packer’s Lament Audio book. This is ~50 running stories read into audio by the author (me) and ends up being 6-8 hours of audio.
The Mid-Packer’s Lament is a series of short stories on long distance running, racing and the human comedy inherent in all sports enthusiasts. This is the perfect book for runners and wannabe runners. There are stories about training, eating, special places and special races. There are stories about the accidental athlete in all of us and the stupid things we do for even amateur endeavors. Whether you are a weekend mid-pack runner or a competitive club runner, you’ll find something thought provoking and amusing that you can relate to in the Mid-Packer’s Lament.
Hope you enjoy consuming it as much as I enjoyed recording it!
Ciao, thanks, and I’ll see you out there.

OK my friends you’ve ridden your thoroughbreds, your colts, fillies and studs, to the end of another RunRunLive Podcast, episode 220 is riding off into the sunset.
Next week we chat with this really interesting British dude who just chucked everything and started riding his bike around the world.
I haven’t gotten any applications to take over the podcast hosting duties, so should I assume that it really isn’t that important of an endeavor? We’ll see!

Communication article: – Horizontal communication in teams
I read a great article in the Globe this week that talked about some Harvard B school research. The research was on communication in teams – but that gives away the punch line. The actual goal of the research was to find out what were, as I always like to say, ‘the top three things’ or the low-hanging fruit.
They asked the question what are the simplest attributes of successful organizations that anyone can do. What are simple things that make a huge documented difference?
What they found was communication in teams. When teams, or peers are allowed, encouraged and enabled to share their thoughts and ideas the whole organization becomes simply ‘better’.
Humans naturally come together and synergize. When given the opportunity to freely communicate they align with the company’s business goals and get more done and have more impact.
They gave an example of call centers that were engineered for efficiency by having the different workers stagger their break times. This way, theoretically the service level of the call center wouldn’t go down because all the team wouldn’t be on break at the same time.
But, when they changed it so that the people could take break at the same time they communicated more and the centers did better business.
The worst models were the very hierarchical models with the boss communicating down and none of the teams communicating horizontally.
Therefore; it’s perfectly ok to go hang out at the water cooler and chat up your cubical mates. You’ll end up doing business better.
Just don’t gossip about the boss.
And as you’re communicating with your peer for the betterment of the world… those I’ll see you out there.

Great news my running friends – my book of running stories “The Mid-Packer’s Lament” is now available in Kindle format at the Kindle store on Amazon.com! Just search on “Mid-Pack”. It’s a bargain at an easy $5 and all proceeds go towards supporting the underfunded pension plan of the retired cleaning staff at the RunRunLive world headquarters. I recently got a kindle myself and I love it. It does reading very well.

Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up
and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
Yeah – I know. I had some problems with the patent-troll-image-nazis and deleted most of the images from my site to avoid problems. It’s on my clean up list to go through and remove the links.
