One step ahead of the other

I am running out of ideas to occupy my anxious mind, so maybe listening to the last episode of the Step Ahead podcast and reminding me that marathons can go well despite of everything else happening around in the universe isn't a bad idea... If only I wouldn't cringe every time I hear my voice. Here you have it, in which I talk about falling from the sky in the middle of the Marathon de Paris and setting a new PR at Toronto Yonge St. 10K. I also talk about... what again? Gosh my mind is fuzzy, I should ask Carol, my friend and host of Step Ahead. Pickle juice, or rather drinking brine to avoid hitting the wall (I have my bottle ready for tomorrow!), see-through t-shirts, the lack of portapotties in Paris and other nonsense. But it's a lot of fun when done under a good dose of endorphins that just won't go away. If you listen all the way until the end, you'll get a glimpse into the effects of marathon induced euphoria. Happy listening!

Another Step Ahead

Last weekend I was invited by Carol and Chris to participate to another "Step Ahead" podcast with the goal of  talking about Around the Bay and a piece of sad news, the passing of Micah True aka Caballo Blanco, legendary ultrarunner whose story was the subject of the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. You can listen to the podcast by following this link. I had a lot of fun recording this podcast with Carol. I am starting to feel more comfortable behind the mic, but I really hope is that I don't sound like a doofus too much. I'll leave it up to you :-).
