I \u201conce belonged\u201d to a community of fellow runners. I understand that many of you and this association have always considered me to be a member of the \u201crun local, think global\u201d team, but I haven\u2019t felt that way for some time. That\u2019s my problem, and it\u2019s okay, that\u2019s going to change.\n\xa0\nI \u201conce belonged\u201d out on twelve mile long run around my town, through the hills of an Old New England farm trail, past the birthplace of the \u201cAngel of the American Civil War Battlefield\u201d, Clara Barton, past St. Roch\u2019s Church and the Roman Catholic congregation that I left a few years ago, past our town library, built in eighteen sixty-nine where I wrote the first scripts for Phedippidations and then past the hearthstone marker of the Johnson homestead, where John Johnson and his three children were massacred in sixteen ninety-six.\n\xa0\nI \u201conce belonged\u201d to a group of running podcasters and bloggers in a \u201crun net community\u201d of content creators who spoke and wrote about their passion for the sport.\n\xa0\nI \u201conce belonged\u201d but I lost my way.\n\xa0\nHere\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do: I\u2019m going to \u201cget back to where I once belonged\u201d.\n\xa0\nSo how is this going to work? How am I going to get back to where I once belonged?\n\xa0\nOne step at a time.\n\xa0\nPhedippidations is now, in a way, a documentary about my getting back into running. The health, peace of mind and happiness is all a wonderful side effect: but the mission is clear. This is not going to be any kind of a \u201cself help\u201d podcast\u2026If I make recommendations, it\u2019s only because I\u2019m following my own advice.\n\xa0\nI\u2019m not setting my sights on a marathon or even a specific finishing time in any duration road race\u2026I simply want to get back to where I once was\u2026where I couldn\u2019t wait to lace up my shoes and get 5 in, where I counted the days until my next road race\u2026not because I wanted to set a PR, that was the old home\u2026the home I can\u2019t go back to\u2026this time, I want to run my next race to participate\u2026to feel like I\u2019m a part of something\u2026.to get back to where I once belonged.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\nMelodious advice by Neil on Twitter @neilbearse\xa0\n\xa0\nBoth opening and closing themes songs were by Jim Fidler at \n\u201cThe Curra Road\u201d was composed by Ger Wolfe at \n\xa0\n\xa0\nThe song \u201cWelcome All Again\u201d was by Collective Soul out of Stockbridge, Georgia.\xa0 Check out all of their amazing music over at \n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes can be found at \n\xa0\nIn Vino Veritas with at \n\xa0\nTrack my return to the road at \n\xa0\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: Phedippidations is supported monthly through the kind financial support of fellow runners who clicked on the ONLY IF YOU LIKE IT button at SteveRunner.com to subscribe to Amazon Payments or Paypal to send me a dollar a month for my podcasting efforts.\xa0 \xa0\n\xa0\nThank you:\n\xa0\nVera, Katie, Ryan, Chaise, Gordon, Scott, Mike, Jeff, Colin, Jason, Diane, Cheryl, Ron, Mark, Martha, Greg, Jim, Tim, Bill, David, Doug, Vance, Marcelo, Roberto, Zaki, James, Norm, Simon, Janice, Andrew, Pam, Rob, Trey, Steve, Angie, Lynn, Nancy, Eric, Jim, Joe, Martin, Rich, Tom, David, Pierre, Maria, Hisham, Andrea, Brad, Dave, Desiree, Jens (@ScenicRunner), Claudia, Jill, Elizabeth, Pat, Marc, Evelyn, Chris, Dino, Michael, Clay, George, Matthew, Pedro, Terence, Tom, Louis and Toni.\n\xa0\n{}\n\xa0\nFollow me on:\nBlog: \nStream: \xa0\nApple App: \xa0\nAndroid App: \xa0\n\xa0\nSupport:
