Resolving, Rowing, Running

The Stubborn Tortoise

In this episode, I give a buncha shoutouts. (You might be mentioned) I give big kudos to my friend, Sara Dudzikowski, who finally got to bring home that 100-mile buckle for completing Snowdrop last week. I also shout out to Meg Eckert (who will be next week's guest), who set the 100-mile course record, course distance record (218.87 miles -- forgive my error in the podcast as I said it was 212.) She finished first overall and garnered a few other accolades. On top of all that, she is an incredibly generous and kind person.

Band of Runners gets a shoutout, too, as I hope to have Phil Parsons, an attendee at this year's camp and who just set the FKT for the Natchez trail.

I also got to participate in a cool relay event over the weekend called Resolve to Row. (Hi Alison, Danny and David!) at EnergyX Fitness I love this place and the people. It's been my sanctuary for almost a year as I have recovered from a hip injury.

My team (four people) rotated in and out until we got 10,000 meters. I love relays because you get to work as a team to achieve a goal. Three of us had never done it before and mercifully we had Coach Nicole (hi) and her expertise to guide us through.

And finally, I am getting back to the running. I will continue working out at this studio but has resolved to run more this year because I miss it. I'll be up at Bandera on Wednesday to help set up for one of the biggest races of the year and am going back on Saturday to hand out food and drink at the Equestrian aid station for a few hours.
