Fdip328: The Mojo au Groton

Published: June 19, 2015, 4 a.m.

b'It was a perfect day for a run in New England.\\xa0 Presented by the Squannacook River Runners, this is the 24th running of the Groton Road Race.\\n\\xa0\\nBeing a runner feels different for me now. The universe is undergoing entropy\\u2026and I\\u2019m a part of that universe. I can\\u2019t go home again, but I can get back to where I once belonged\\u2026even if, when I get there\\u2026I\\u2019m not the same runner I used to be.\\xa0 That\\u2019s okay, that\\u2019s a good thing.\\n\\xa0\\nThese people, this race, that feeling of being a participant in something great and fun\\u2026 it\\u2019s so much of what I\\u2019ve missed about running.\\xa0 Happiness is feeling accepted\\u2026it\\u2019s being with others who live their lives to the top.\\xa0 It\\u2019s the charm, the spell or the mojo of a moment in time.\\n\\xa0\\nI had a fantastic time at the Groton Road Race, aka \\u201cThe Mojo au Groton\\u201d.\\xa0 It was great to get together with Deb, Doug, Donna, Kathy, Jay, John, and Jack.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n\\u201cStart, Finish and Have Fun\\u201d. Is there a better way to describe the purpose of a road race? Medals and prizes, trophies and awards are wonderful to achieve, but at the core of it: the reason to run a race should have this higher purpose.\\n\\xa0\\nLinks:\\n\\xa0\\nIntervals between episodes and the complete conversation with Coach Jeff can be heard over at \\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 \\u201cFeels Like Coming Home\\u201d was performed by Jetta. \\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, Ryan, Chaise, Gordon, Scott, Mike, Jeff, Colin, Jason, Diane, Cheryl, Ron, Mark, Martha, Greg, Tim, Bill, David, Doug, Vance, Marcelo, Roberto, Zaki, Norm, Simon, Janice, Andrew, Pam, Rob, Trey, Steve, Angie, Lynn, Nancy, Eric, Jim, Joe, Martin, Tom, David, Pierre, Andrea, Dave, Desiree, Jens, Claudia, Jill, Elizabeth, Pat, Marc, Chris, Dino, Michael, Clay, Matthew, Terence, Tom, Louis, Toni, Margaret, Janina, Joe, Fred, Joerg, Erik, Wendee, Evelyn, Nicolas, John, Christiane, Katie, Brad and Jim.\\n\\xa0\\n{}\\n\\xa0\\nFollow me on:\\nBlog: \\nStream: \\xa0\\nApple App: \\xa0\\nAndroid App: \\xa0\\nSupport: \\nHealth: \\nRunning: RunKeeper.SteveRunner.com\\nVideo: YouTube.SteveRunner.com'
