As always, it is so good to have you along for this episode. We share some content from my recent trip to visit my mom in Wallace, NC, including an endorsement from my niece. I have also received correspondence from some listeners, including an mp3 from Coach Jeff Smith.

The heart of the show, however, is about the importance of rest and recovery. I share what I like to do (including using the Chi Running Method) to incorporate rest and recovery into my running routine. I know how hard it is for us to slow down--or stop completely--from running: even when it should be done. If you have trouble fitting rest or recovery into your running routine, you will want to hear this episode. Sorry that technical difficulties kept this from being recorded on the run, but sometimes technology just doesn't get it done! I will keep fresh batteries in the recorder from now on, promise.

Finally, I want to hear from you (email is best) about why you would be a good candidate for an interview for the show. While I am still working out the technical difficulties, I believe I have just about figured out how to record Skype calls. If you want to be interviewed, send me an email to: [email protected]. I want to hear from YOU! Most of us are average runners with very interesting stories to tell. I want to hear yours.

And as always,

Thanks for sharing some of the road with me,
