The 20MR Episode 70: Reasons Why We Run #2 - Community

Me and You and a dog named Odie

As we continue our series on reasons why we run, let me say welcome to Episode 70 of the podcast. It really is good to have you along for the ride. As the days shorten, we find ourselves running in the dark--literally. But, the changing of the seasons is one of the reasons why we run. That, however, is not the main topic of this episode.

A few things we discuss in this show:

1. Gear check
2. Chi, and the importance of using our core to do the bulk of the work
3. Chi, and how to run hills (up and down)
4. A training update as we work towards December's half-marathon
5. Don't forget that if you learn and master proper form, distance and speed will follow
6. Our main topic: Community, and why running promotes it

We close with several pieces of correspondence that have come in, via iTunes reviews and email. Thank you all for taking the time to review the show or send me an email. I appreciate it so much. If you are ever near the central part of NC, look me up. I would love to go for a run with you and record for an upcoming episode of the show. If you enjoy the program, why not tell your running friends about it? I would appreciate that as well. So, lace up your shoes and let's get going. And as always, Thanks for sharing some of the road with me, The 20 Minute (chi) Runner Download this episode (right click and save) _________________________
