Episode 5-493 – Interview Les is Made

Hello my running friends.

This week I present the last of the repurposed interviews that I did originally for my other show “After the Apocalypse”.

This is a friendly talk with Les for his Les is Made podcast – and fittingly he is really interested in talking about running.

I had planned to write an article that dove deeper into some of the frequently asked questions.  But, I’m out of day today and I figure something is better than nothing.

I had another satirical piece on how women running together have an entirely different conversation than men talking to each other – based on my admittedly biased observations.

But, alas there is only so much gas in the tank and I have miles to go before I sleep.

So – My friends, I’ll give you an update on my training – drop the interview and slink off stage left in a embarred shuffle.

My training is going great.  Within the last 7 days I have completed a nice 12 mile trail run, a 100K bike and capped it off with a 100 mile bike ride with my buddies up to Saco Maine yesterday.  Everything went well.  We got perfect weather.  Nobody crashed.  No flat tires.

And we made the trip, with breaks in just about 10 hours.

My second goal of weight loss is going well also.  I poked my nose under the 173 pound flap of the tent this week and with my training load increasing it should continue to trend down.

I also finished the last additional chapter for the first novel in my apocalypse series – so getting very close to the end of the editing process and having a finished manuscript to kick out the door like a grown child who has tarried too long.

Funny story – I actually brought that final chapter to my new Monday morning writers group for a read this past week as well.  I was scared like a little kid having to stand in front of the class.  But, they liked it.  And gave me some good feedback.

All is not lost.

I grabbed the race director of the Mamba 100 for an interview and I’ll shove that up for the next show.  You know me.  Why read the race web site when you can just talk to the race director?

I was a little worried about running a 100k in the trails in the dark.  But he put my mind at ease.  The course is in a very gentle trail system right in a park in the center of Memphis.

That’s the next adventure!

So – my friends.  This is it for commentary,.  I won’t be back at the end.

Stay in touch.  Wish me well.  And I will see you out there.
