Hi folks, I wanted to give you an update on how my summer off is going. I’ve got a left-over interview that I’m going to share with you as well. I’m still working on what version 5.0 of the show is going to be. I have a lot to say still, but not much of it is about running! Last time I ‘ran’ was in April of this year. I tried to do a run-walk training program based on the theory that if I took it super easy my knee might get better, and I could train into healing it. That theory didn’t work. I did manage a 20-mile run-walk at the peak of my training plan but my knee was really sore and was evidently going in the wrong direction. So I dropped to the half at the Flying Pig, limped through it, had a great time and then shut the running down completely. Since it is summer I can ride my bike, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ll give you my current workout schedule today and the big event I’m training for. Last time I lost this much time to injury was the Plantar Fasciitis episode in 2012. I did come back from that eventually. But this feels different. Good or bad I’m turning 60 this year and one of my challenges is going to be finding a way to stay healthy, physical and active without trying so damn hard all the time. I’ve always been this way. I remember in high school I loved the training with the team, but hated racing. Through out my marathon days I always loved the training. I lived for the training. The races were just the convenient stake in the ground. The training is what kept me alive, and gave me something to focus on. I think this is going to be at least part of the theme going forward – the how to stay engaged when you’re getting older and you’ve done it all. In section one I’m going to talk about being a ‘good ender’. In section two I’ll talk about some of the interesting things I’m doing on the bike. Hope you’re enjoying your summers – or if you’re in that other hemisphere – your winter. On with the show.

Section two –Good Enders Outro Ok my friends we have written our way to the end of episode 4-478 of the RunRunLive Podcast. This, my friends is probably going to be the last in the 4.0 series of the RunRunLive Podcast. I’m taking some time off to re-tool the show. Welcome to RunRunLive 5.0 I have also started re-designing the RunRunLive.com website. It has been simplified it to make it more stable and easier to use. I’m have eliminated the membership option, so those of you still paying rent should have seen that stop. At some point I’ll move that to a different place. It’s a major effort as that site is really old and needed some serious help. There are 1400+ posts out there including 500 or so podcast episodes. I split the blog posts up into three categories. 1) anything that has to do with endurance sports I’ve categorized as ‘endurance’. 2) Anything that has to do with business or other inspirational or educational type posts are going to be under the ‘inspiration’ category. Either way if you are looking for something specific on a person or topic you can search. For example, if you want to see one of the dozen or so articles I wrote on running form you can search on ‘Form’. It’s a work in progress, so if you find errors, let me know and I’ll try to fix. Why do we spend so much time focused on our failings and flaws? My mind is always spinning around problems that I have to fix. Puzzles that I have to solve. And…All those things I have gotten wrong. All those things I have done poorly. All those things that aren’t exactly perfect about me and my life. Why? What is this thinking? Some call it the “ruminating mind”. Our brains spend so much time and energy worrying about mistakes of the past we have no room for creating the future. We squeeze out the space for living, and more importantly, enjoying life. The truth is that if we are not making mistakes, we aren’t living our best life. Mistakes are found at the edge. The edge of our experience. The scary place where we don’t have all the answers. Consider this: Mistakes, failures and shortcomings are evidence of abundance. They are evidence that we go out into the world and strive. Strive to do better. Strive to make a difference. Strive to be better. When you think of your mistakes instead of ruminating about them consider them your works of art. Revere them as proof of your life and humanity. Keep them with you as special children and inspiration. The Japanese have the art of Kinsugi. When cup or vase is broken they fill the cracks with gold so that the flaws become part of the art, part of what is different and special. Those golden veins highlight and praise the cracks. Learn to celebrate your mistakes as creative gifts. Live in harmony with the flaws and pave the future with gold. And I’ll see you out there.
