Happy New Year! Seems like a lot of people are glad to see the end of 2011, myself included. Im in marathon training now for the Publix Georgia Marathon on March 18. I only have 10 weeks to train for it so I modified a 16 week plan and lopped off 6 weeks. Kinda crazy, but hey that's me. I am loving the motivation and the framework the plan provides…

Well hello and Merry Christmas from there United States! Sorry I have been gone so long, those last few weeks in England were crazy busy and then once we all got back to the US it's been a period of adjustment. Good adjustment, but plenty of it. ANYWAY, I'm back once again, this time with a new intro and outro for the podcast. I just signed up for …

Hi folks. Back again. There's hasnt that much running lately. In fact, this episode was recorded on the second run in as many days and it's been almost two weeks since the last run. Been extremely busy trying to work through the red tape of closing accounts and shutting things down here in the UK prior to our return to the US. Lots to do. Lots of p…

Big announcement: we are moving back to the US. After three amazing years here in the UK, my job has ended and my visa will expire at the beginning of November, so we are packing it up all up and moving back. Probably not for good, we love it here in the UK and would like to stay here, but there simply hasn't been enough time to secure a new positi…

Wow, it's hard to believe the podcast has hit 50 episodes! Thank you to everyone who sent in audio clips, and a BIG thank you to all you listeners! Intro/Outro: "Space 1999 Theme" Download Episode 50By pabrelat

Welcome to my first ever multi-person episode of the podcast. Join me and Krister from the Running The Narrow Path podcast as we run through the Swedish forest and farm roads. It was a fantastic trip and Krister and his family were wonderful hosts. Krister going like the wind Usually when podcasters try to record themselves and another person on a …

Brrrr! It's rainy and cold... and it's AUGUST! Well, no matter, I head out for a 12 mile out-and-back heading west along the Thames. It was so wet that I was nervous about recording during the run, so I chat witcha during the rest stops. I know I just put out ep 47 just a little while ago, but I've been enjoying running so much that I've been runni…

Well it's Sunday long run time again, so I headed out the door on a rainy day to log some miles. BUT, my body had other plans. I only made five miles or so. I just didn't have any lung capacity. I got a case of the flu a week ago and I'm starting to think perhaps it was actually mild pneumonia. I feel better now but my heart rate was too high and I…

Hello folks, join me on a short 5K run on a sunny Sunday as I honour Nigel from the Running From The Reaper podcast for his Dailymile challenge of running 5K for 5 Years Of Podcasting. This was a recovery run after Saturday's half marathon with @stevechopper from the A Mile With Me podcast and @clewsy from the Velo Club podcast. Steve had planned a…

Time once again for another istallment of Run Yank Run. Running been hit or miss due to work and life, but I was able to run the 2011 British 10K today and it was a lot of fun. Despite not receiving a pack pack, Tube closure, and general life wear and tear, I made it to start line and ran a good race. My goal was to finish in under an hour and whil…

Once again, long time no see. A LOT has been going on since the last podcast episode and I try in my rambling way to recap in reverse chronological order all the drama and mundanity (is that a word?). My father had a heart attack and then a double bypass and valve replacement, so I hopped on a plane to Michigan in the US to be there for that. He is…

Hey folks, join me for another riverside weekend long run, one of two. This time I decided to Go West Young Man, and venture out past Richmond to parts till now unrun and unexplored (well, at least by me). Spring is definitely here and the leaves, flowers (and riverside flies) are going all out. Life is good, running is good, all is well. Well, exc…

Hiya, I am writing this post by candlelight at a pub on the Chiswick High Street on a Sunday evening. My well-deserved pint is next to me and I am taking advantage of the free broadband (with purchase). Still no internet connection at the apartment (will take an additional 7-14 days!!!!) but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right? It's been a good w…

This episode was recorded during a 10 mile Sunday long run. Big News! I finally moved into a place of my own. It's a one bedroom flat on the Chiswick High Street and I couldn't be happier. Work, life, and finding and moving into an apartment have eaten into running since the previous podcast, but now that things have settled I am looking forward to…

Happy Valentine's Day! Windy windy windy weekend. In this 40th episode I go for a Saturday run along the river in preparation for a Sunday long run. I talk about being back in England after my trip to the States, how my running is progressing (first 30 mile weeks in ages!), searching for an apartment, and various bits n bobs and whatnot. You can fi…

Hello again friends. This podcast was recorded during my trip back to the US. The first week I was in New York City for work. It snowed like blazes. The second week I spent on vacation visiting family and friends in Atlanta. It was so good to be back on familiar ground with people who know me and I got a LOT out of being there and seeing everyone. …

Cough Cough, sniff sniff. I've been under the weather with a nasty sore throat and cold. This episode was recorded at Ravenscourt Park on a Saturday afternoon with the kids. There hasn't been much running this week due to this bug, but I do discuss running in my new Evo II minimalist running shoes from Terra Plana, my blunder in not getting my race…

Happy 2011. This episode is pretty long at almost an hour, but when you run 10 miles on a Sunday and haven't put out an episode in a while I guess there's a lot to say. In this one I talk about some running goals for 2011 including a full marathon and perhaps a 50 mile ultra, and the possibility of swimming the English Channel as part of a relay! T…

Hiya, time for another run and podcast, this time on a Friday day off. I go for a run along the Thames once again, this time in the opposite direction and am so intent on chatting away I miss Barnes Bridge, my intended turnaround point. Whoopsie! Anyway, in this episode I include for the first time a recording of a song I did with my friend Vlad. I…

Join me for another Sunday run, this time a longer variation of the Bridges run for a total distance of 6 miles. I started the recording thinking I didn't have much to say but I seem to have filled up 45 minutes with my ramblings. Hopefully the appearance of coherence is enough to satisfy! Featured Songs: "Bus Stop Runner" by Mark Vidler of Go Home…

Hi everyone, it's time once again for another podcast episode. Join me for another Sunday Bridges run. In this episode I talk about how the fledgling restart of my running is progressing, you get to hear some gusty wind (not me!), I share my first audio comment submitted by my podcasting inspiration, Nigel from the Running From The Reaper podcast, …

Happy Halloween! Once again I'm back. Join me for a four miler along the river on the Bridges route. I am starting from scratch yet again, but this time it's for real. I have run maybe three times in the last couple of months. Sorry to all of you who have contacted me asking when I was going to post another podcast. I explain what has been going on…

Hello again, this episode is dedicated to Jody Carner, my mother in law who was recently diagnosed with leukemia and has had a course of chemotherapy. She's doing very well and has been walking two miles a day while on chemo! Our hopes are on a positive result Despite the blow of finding this out, I kept the episode light and go over all the regula…

After two months, I'm back. A little older, a little grayer, a little wiser, and ultimately a lot happier. Changing jobs was messy and way more stressful than it had to be, but I am so happy I did it and am really enjoying my new role at R/GA. In this episode I go over the half marathon I did run in 1:56, the half I didn't (you'll have to listen), …
