Every morning I get up at 5ish and get breakfast ready for the kids, get my coffee going, put together my own lunch and juice about 48 ounces of vegetable/fruit juice in the juicer for the day. The whole time I go through this, and I can do all of it in about 40 minutes, I listen to one of my running-related podcasts for I am usually the only one up that early. Recently I have been listening to The Marathon Show with Joe Tericani, who I find to be a delightful man, a great interviewer and all-around fun to listen to at home, in the car, even while running. Today, I listened to him interview Donald Arthur, a heart transplant recipient at age 52, who then goes on to run over 31 marathons (on his way to 50) and is trying to run one in every state. It was a very emotional interview to listen to and I felt so lucky to be alive afterwards. If you have not had a chance to hear about this man, it's the Aug 20, 2010 podcast from The Marathon Show on iTunes. Totally worth listening to, especially if you need a spirit pick-me up.
