2. Race Pictures

3. Podcast
When I run during my lunch break I run on a very boring course in the middle of nowhere, so I started to listen to some music, which is ok, but doesn’t really keep my mind off. So I started to listen to a running podcast and I have to say I like it! It feels like running with a running group 
The podcast I’m currently listen to is: Another Mother Runner. Two woman talking about their running and life and kids. Very entertaining!!
Do you listen to podcasts? If yes, any recommendations?
Another mother runner is the only one I listen to. I love them. I met them and they are the best.
THANKS for the shout-out. How did you like Charleston race? It’s one of my favorite cities in the U.S. so I always dream about running there. I looked at the course once and thought it looked winding. lol I don’t listen to podcasts, but I’m told I should…
some of it was on a trail?or the pics look like it… i still haven’t gotten into podcasts-but i always say i’m going to try!
I love your race pictures. You looked veryconfident and happy!
Way to go! I love podcasts and just started looking into Running ones. I’ll definitely check out Another Mother Runner. I listen to comedy (Mohr Stories, Joe Rogan) Lots of Paleo/Primal diet ones and Alec Baldwin has a great one with some awesome interviews. Another good one is The Nerdist Podcast. Some are definitely rated R but so hilarious.
I think I’m going to sign up for the Virtual Race! You’ve inspired me! I don’t want to commit to anything big until my foot gets a little bit better, but I have been wanting to get involved in some online blogger fun!
Those are some great race pics! Maybe I’ll add the virtual race to my calendar – it might be just what I need! I listen to Good Job, Brain and Stuff You Should Know. Both make the time pass really well, and I always learn something too! While driving or walking, I listen to The Vinyl Cafe, but that one doesn’t work for me for running.
