Hello and welcome back to the KEXP Runcast

0:02

with me, your host, John Richards, also

0:04

host of the KEXP Morning Show,

0:07

weekdays 7 to 10, Seattle

0:09

time. You can always go back to the archive if

0:11

the runcast isn't enough. I'm sure one of the shows

0:13

will help you as we tend to motivate

0:16

people each and every day at

0:18

KEXP. And I want to welcome

0:20

you back. I hope your running's going well. I

0:23

am getting through some injuries

0:26

and reducing my miles and

0:28

trying to stay upbeat and positive about

0:31

it. And I know there'll be some

0:33

help around the corner. In fact, I am now leaning

0:35

towards a ultra marathon

0:38

next spring. So I will keep you updated.

0:40

This runcast is where I will suffer

0:43

along with you. Because what's

0:45

worse than a marathon? Well, an ultra marathon.

0:47

So when you're feeling injured and you're feeling motivated,

0:49

maybe find a calendar, find a

0:51

race, circle something and decide

0:54

you're going to do it. Because I think that's what I'm

0:56

going to be doing. A big thank you to my buddy Kevin,

0:58

man. We got so much feedback on the last runcast. Just

1:00

wanted to share a few emails. Like John and Kenmore said,

1:02

thanks for a great runcast and encouragement this week. Just

1:05

getting back on the running wagon, decided to do a little

1:07

trail work at St. Edwards Park to the

1:09

tune of the runcast. Really appreciate

1:11

and commiserate with John about running for

1:13

time versus just running. I'm definitely

1:15

in the latter camp these days. Boy, I'm feeling

1:17

you there. Can't believe I'm finally finding my way

1:20

back to this hobby that I was obsessing over

1:22

and over now for years. And now simply

1:24

I rely upon it to bring me some peace and a bit

1:26

of joy. Also sore legs next

1:29

morning. Anyway, thanks again. Keep going. Thanks,

1:31

John and Kenmore. And Dawn said, good morning. Listening

1:33

to Runcast 4 on the green tunnel of one of our Hudson

1:36

Valley rail trails. You and Kevin

1:38

are keeping me floating above the labor-breathing,

1:40

sore legs and roller coaster of blood sugar levels

1:43

that comes with exercises, insulin versus

1:45

activity. A shout out to diabetes training

1:48

camp staff and alums. Signed up for my third

1:50

session with them in August, which got

1:52

me back to running now. Slow

1:54

and short, but it feels good. Dawn, John, everybody

1:57

listening, no matter how fast, how slow.

2:00

how much you run, how little you run, as long

2:02

as you're out there, you know you're a runner. And I wanted

2:04

to start local, local for me here at least,

2:06

in Seattle with three things from the

2:09

great northwest. So, Dezza coming up with a new one,

2:11

Tomo Nakayama with a new one, and

2:13

Black Belt Eagle Scout to ease you into

2:15

this, but it'll pick up, trust me. This is about

2:18

the most perfect title to start this runcast.

2:20

It's called

2:21

Don't Give Up.

2:33

You wanted a second

2:36

chance at life, well

2:38

you're alive. You

2:43

hear your heartbeat

2:47

and you walk on the

2:50

trees. And

2:54

go by beauty,

2:57

I just own you, you and

3:00

me. I'll

3:06

give up, I'll

3:10

give up, I'll give

3:13

up. I

3:18

don't give

3:21

up, I don't give

3:24

up. I

3:48

don't give

3:51

up, I don't

3:54

give up. You

4:00

heard it here today I told you my story

4:19

That I've

4:22

been healing in you

4:24

when deep leaves are flowing And

4:31

in these leaves

4:36

they come from people

4:38

who grow But

4:42

bear to listen,

4:45

guide us on, everyone

4:48

you know I

4:54

don't give

4:56

up I

5:07

don't give up I

5:30

was only seventeen

5:36

I was only seventeen

5:57

I was only seventeen

6:30

In the land of the wild and the sky In

6:48

6:52

7:06

the wild and the sky It's

7:18

15:59

Maripariting adolescents

16:01

for the uncertainty of global pandemics are

16:03

run fixings a bit. Fast forward three years,

16:05

I'm now a new elementary school at the age of 51 who

16:08

has to tell my little charges that they must work

16:10

hard to do their best and don't stress.

16:12

My new teaching job has kept me from doing as much running

16:15

and rowing as I'd like. I'm not in as good shape as

16:17

I was four years ago, but today, I needed

16:19

to get out and move and your words and encouragement

16:21

reminded me that I need to do what I

16:23

tell my third graders. Do my best, don't

16:26

stress, and as you said, keep up the good

16:28

work. Thanks for all the words and music. We

16:30

are not alone. Katie, super motivating.

16:34

And I think our theme of getting

16:36

back to running or not running as much as we

16:38

want and still feeling okay about it is very,

16:41

very important. I beat myself up a lot. I'm

16:43

highly competitive. I know, shocking. And I tend

16:45

to push myself, also shocking. And so

16:47

when I'm not feeling like I'm pushing myself,

16:50

I feel like I'm a failure. So, man,

16:52

I feel it. All right, you're listening to Bonobo

16:54

behind me right now. You can run to any Bonobo

16:56

tracks. Highly recommend them. Got a little dance

16:59

set

16:59

here to keep you moving on the KXP

17:02

Runcast.

32:17

them and KEXP has got a lot of followers. So it

32:20

would motivate others maybe to run, motivate

32:22

people to get the

32:23

32:39

there as I am going to get through this injury

32:41

and start picking up a little more running.

32:44

Although I'm still able to do three, four miles at

32:46

a time. All right. I'm going to get right back

32:49

after a real short break.

32:52

All

32:52

right. This next one seems fitting just their name alone.

32:54

It's called activity. The

32:57

song is Department of Blood. I hope you see

32:59

very little blood, hopefully no blood on

33:01

this run, but a lot of activity.

52:31

goes by This slow

52:34

history to unite We all

52:36

have passed the time Long

53:07

set there to keep you moving, upper wows, I love the

53:09

emotion in these songs. Short centuries,

53:12

Man on Man's new record is perfect, and

53:14

Hush is the name of that. Film School,

53:16

I know we got some runners in the band Film

53:18

School. Tape Rewind, the name of the song. Dona's

53:21

a little help from the amazing band

53:23

called Actors. No one laughed in activity. Got

53:25

things started. Real quick before I get out of here too,

53:27

we're doing a lot of music. Not so many breaks today. Tim

53:30

from Ballard said soon to be Edmunds. A recent

53:32

run cast came on my birthday a few weeks

53:34

ago. I was at work in Norway in Copenhagen

53:37

being far from home. It was the only birthday gift

53:39

I got this year, so thank you. I've had a lot

53:41

of alone time and I've filled them with long

53:43

runs, some not so long runs, and everything in between.

53:46

My companion has been the run cast. I've spent my

53:48

spirits on the long summer Scandinavian days over

53:50

bridges, fjords, and hillsides.

53:53

I got built to spill in a concert in a small venue

53:55

in Copenhagen and solved the world's problems

53:57

over a Danish beer with Jacob, the drummer from

53:59

the Ravenet. Nice guy, that Jacob. Sent

54:02

some pictures as well. So pretty amazing

54:04

stuff. Way to solve all the world problems with

54:07

band members and runs. And yeah,

54:09

you know, running, when I felt my most

54:11

alone or my most depressed, I've always

54:13

gone to running. And I

54:15

say you're not alone, but I swear to God, man, you get on the

54:17

road and you're running, you truly aren't alone. So

54:19

remember that. And a reminder to tag KXB and

54:22

DJ John Richards and always go to kxb.org if you're wondering

54:24

how you can keep these runcasts going, if you like them, you love

54:26

them, post about them, and always support

54:28

kexb.org. Go do it now, finish your run,

54:30

but just remember KXB, keep

54:32

us in your heart and also keep us in

54:34

your budget every month so you can keep

54:36

these runcasts going. Huge thank you to my man

54:38

Owen who always helps out on these runcasts

54:40

and the cast of characters behind it as well and all

54:43

the bands who participate and give us rights to this music.

54:45

Couldn't do it without them or without Isabel

54:48

heading us up as our podcast producer

54:51

and licensing administrator. And I wanna

54:53

thank our friends at Brooks, remind you to

54:55

run happy and all the people who support KXB.

54:57

54:59

a good last song as we chill out. It's called Snowman

55:02

here on the KEXP Runcast. Thanks
