You and I are out on a run together.\xa0 As we\u2019re getting our miles in we start to talk to each other to pass the time. This is where we get to know each other, where we start to open up a little and reveal ourselves as the persons we really are.\xa0 \n\xa0\nYou and I are different, with different backgrounds, different beliefs and different understandings of the universe around us.\xa0 I want to know what you\u2019re all about, and you might want to know what\u2019s going on in my teenie tiny little head.\xa0 So today, let\u2019s acknowledge that we really are out on a run together, and I\u2019m going to reveal to you a little bit more about who I am.\n\xa0\nThese are what I call: Intervals and I\u2019ve even gone ahead and created a couple of podcasts where I express my thoughts in a rambling diatribe format, one is recorded in audio, the other in video, both are available on iTunes.\xa0 \n\xa0\nIn running, of course, an interval workout is one where you run hard for a specific duration or distance, such as once around a track, and then you run at a relaxed rate, or maybe even walk\u2026during an interval between the running portions.\n\xa0\nSo while Phedippidations is a podcast where we have a conversation about running and running related topics; today\u2019s episode will be an interval break from that.\n\xa0\nToday I\u2019m going to open up an audio family picture book of sorts, and tell you a few stories from my life.\xa0 There\u2019s nothing earth shattering of deeply profound here\u2026just a few snippets from a life I\u2019ve lived that will better help you to understand this goofy middle aged, middle of the pack slightly asthmatic fellow runner who you run with each week.\n\xa0\n\nLINKS:\n\n\n\xa0\nThe song \u201cI am a Man of Constant Sorrow\u201d was performed by, in order of appearance: The Soggy Bottom Boys and Dan Tyminski; Norman Blake, and John Hartford:
