We tried to pull a joint Ultra Dad podcast together this week but impromptu soccer tournaments and more wrestling on the schedule tied us up. Much love and apologies and our hope is that calendars will crack a bit in the coming weeks to hear both of us again! Soon 😊. For today, it is just Mike and I guess we can say this may be another bit of a book review like last time around. The title of today’s episode is another quote, this one from Dean Karnazes’ book A Runners High. This book had some special meaning to me, and I wanted to share some of the more moving quotes, listed below, and what we will talk about in today’s episode. “I don’t run to live longer I run to live fuller.” ……” It may be killing me, but it is on my terms, I am doing what I love, there is no finer meaning to be found in life.” “How do you respond when the tide turns against you?” …….” without war we do not know if we are cowards or heroes.” “It’s a cleansing of the soul.” “Life is cruel, wonderful, unfair, miraculous, and unbearable. It is all these things at once but what mattered most is that we are together, that we stick through it all. We are doing our best we could with the cards we are dealt, but always together, faithful forever. Nothing matters more.” Just some coffee and water for today’s recording, early morning out here in AZ 😊. The RFP Ultra Dad’s Podcast is sponsored by Time on the Trails – delivering you a customized experience out on the trails in Arizona and beyond.

You can view the live recording of today’s episode on our YouTube Channel Here! How’d we get here? The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike
