Thu, 28 June 2007 This year, the Phedippidations World Wide Half marathon will take place on the third planet from the sun, 26,000 light-years from the galactic center. It’s a tiny blue bubble of life swarming with fellow runners who will be thinking of this global community while running on their local portion of the planet. As we travel around the globe, or look to imagine those places where our fellow runners take to the roads and paths, we should consider that at only 25,000 miles in circumference the Earth really is a small, small world.Comments[0] |
Wed, 20 June 2007 The embarrassing things that can happen to our bodies may not be a good topic of conversation at a dinner party, but they are all a part of our human condition, and need to be understood and dealt with as we push ourselves past our physical limits, on the road.Comments[0] |
Wed, 13 June 2007 Jesse Owens represented the United States in the 1936 Olympic Games, held in Berlin. It was here that he showed the world that human beings are endowed with unalienable rights, as well as incredible talent. Jesse proved that ethnicity and skin color were meaningless and that all men are truly created equal.Comments[0] |
Wed, 6 June 2007 Let’s talk about what Phedippidations is, what I believe in, whether I am delusional, what running means to me, and what this podcast means to me. These are the thoughts that go through my head during a long run in the back country roads where these Phedippidations are born. Thoughts, opinions, observations and rambling diatribes are all composed while we’re out on these long distance runs across the planets surface.Comments[0] |
Thu, 31 May 2007 You need to experiment with what you use to fuel yourself before, during and after a marathon. It is as important as stretching, and following your training schedule as you prepare your body for the miles you have before you.Comments[0] |
