Fdip325: Running New England

Published: March 14, 2015, 4 a.m.

This is a transformative journey that we\u2019re taking together, so it might help you to understand the context of this journey if you could understood a bit more about where I\u2019ll be running.\n\xa0\nIn better understanding the mindset of the host and location of this podcast, you\u2019ll better understand how your own terroir, or sense of place, affects your own journey. \xa0\n\xa0\nYou live where you do for reasons beyond mere choice or accident.\xa0 Maybe you\u2019re there because of work, or family, or because you like the temperature of the Mojitos, but at some level you are where you are because you want to be there. \xa0\n\xa0\nIt\u2019s not just because I\u2019ve grown up in New England that makes me want to be here; it\u2019s not just the people whom I care about: family and friends who for whatever reason call New England their home; it\u2019s because this place has, to a great extent, made me who I am. I fit in well here, in fact: despite my complaining about the cold and snow, I actually thrive here.\n\xa0\nWell, maybe \u201cthrive\u201d isn\u2019t the right word, but I do feel that I \u201cneed\u201d to be here, and maybe that\u2019s enough. \xa0\n\xa0\nThis is \u201cNew\u201d England, but it\u2019s not just a state in the Unite, it\u2019s a state of mind.\n\xa0\nI am a New England runner. These rolling hills and colonial\xa0 pathways will be the stage for my return to the road, as I run through time and space to get back to where I once belonged:\xa0 living my life to it\u2019s top, opening my squeaky door and finding comfort in a place I\u2019ll call home.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\n\n\xa0\nChris\u2019s new book: \n\xa0\n\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\nThe song \u201cChoose to Be\u201d was by Allison Crowe off her album \u201cLittle Light\u201d, learn more 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 and .\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, Claudia, Jill, Elizabeth, Pat, Marc, Evelyn, Chris, Dino, Michael, Clay, George, Matthew, Terence, Tom, Louis, Toni, Margaret, Janina, Joe, Fred and Joerg\n\xa0\n{}\n\xa0\nFollow me on:\nBlog: \nStream: \xa0\nApple App: \xa0\nAndroid App: \xa0\nSupport: \nHealth: \nRunning: RunKeeper.SteveRunner.com\n\xa0\nVideo: YouTube.SteveRunner.com
