They both completed the 2021 Boston Marathon Monday, and we had a brief discussion on their experience. We also explore three stories; one is tips for if you are either starting or need a motivational boost to get started. Another is for runners approaching or are already in their later years. Is it necessarily true that you will slow down due to age? Find out! And a story about runners, including myself, that have or are running a marathon in all 50 States. You will enjoy these stories!

Motivation “Runday” Monday – Michelle Garcia – Maricopa, AZ – 9/6/21

Hello Runners, We all need the inspiration to achieve our goals. Running inspiration comes from many sources, but I believe our primary source of inspiration comes from other runners. Those that have challenged themselves starting with the believability level at close to zero. "I could never do that," "that is for other people but not me." Then they start running, maybe a quarter mile, then a mile, then a 5k, a 10K, a Half Marathon, and then a Marathon. And their life changes. So can yours. This episode, https://friendshipsportsassociation.org/ (Stan "the man" Cottrell,) https://www.tiktok.com/@mrs.space.cadet? (Erin Azar), and https://www.facebook.com/jogtreasures (Liz Poliak) are stories that will inspire and motivate you. That is my goal, to bring you inspirational stories of other runners so that you too may be inspired to do something you never thought you could do. Believe in yourself! You CAN do more than you ever thought possible. Just look to other runners for your inspiration. I do! It's out there, everywhere!

Hello Runners, It's August, and we are cruising fast through the summer! Finally, fall races are upon us, and I hope you follow your training plans and are ready to crush your upcoming race. Unfortunately, Motivation "Runday" Monday has gone away. After the initial surge, the participation was not there. But it was fun while it lasted, and I thank those that participated in an episode. Your words inspired runners. The excellent news, Inspirational Running News, is back. Once the pandemic started last year, running news came to a halt unless you were into virtual races, which I am not. So now that running is back almost in full swing, I'm bringing these episodes back with a vengeance. And I have brought on a colleague from my corporate days to help find the stories and write these segments! I'm excited to bring these episodes to you. They WILL inspire you!

Running Inspirational News – August 6, 2021 (Minisode)

Hello Runners, It is July! Summer is moving at lightning speed and soon, fall race season, however that will look, will be in full swing. That means you must be in full training if you are doing a fall race. My guest in this episode is Letty Lundi, co-host with her husband Ryan, of the https://www.marathonrunning.us/ (Marathon Running Podcast by We Got the Runs.) Letty started running in her mid-20s and started marathoning in 2009 during law school and completed about 20 of them all around four hours. She became an immigration attorney and kept running marathons here and there, and started taking running seriously after her second child because she wanted to qualify for Boston. She sought out a coach and started really training for the first time and ran a 3:23 at the 2019 https://mountains2beachmarathon.com/ (Mountains 2 Beach Marathon). Later that same year, she PRd with a 3:18 at the https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marathon-running-podcast-by-we-got-the-runs/id1516403452 (Chicago Marathon) and she plans to meet or exceed that time this fall in https://www.baa.org/ (Boston)! Me, your host, is also getting serious about running and training for a half marathon in August at altitude and a whole lot of downhill. Feels good to finally have a running goal. Now if my body will only feel that good!!! Oh yeah, https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/crocs-wearing-runner-posts-10633-half-marathon-in-utah/ (Benjamin Pachev) ran a 1:06:33 half-marathon at the https://www.utahvalleymarathon.com/ (Utah Valley Half-Marathon) last month.

Letty Lundi – Marathon Runner and Running Podcast Host

Hello Runners, Running race events are back. Yes, and with a vengeance. Boston, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and Colfax marathons are just to name a few coming back this fall. Some of these are predicting 25,000, 30,000, and more runners! Just a few months ago, we were still in the pandemic with no end in sight. That was quick! So how will this work with local governments and CDC guidelines? Well, all of these races are fluid and things can change rather quickly. That is why there are no solid plans in place as of yet. My guests in this episode are two highly respected individuals in the running community. Lonnie Somers, Co-Owner of https://halsports.net/ (Hal Sports) here in Denver. Lonnie either owns or manages several events not only in Denver but in Colorado and other states. Hal Sports is a full event company. Creigh Kelley has put on over 1,000 running events and is the race director for the https://www.runcolfax.org/ (Colfax Marathon) in Denver. Both Lonnie and Creigh are also racing day announcers. This is a fascinating conversation of where race events were, where they are today, and what they will look like as they evolve post-pandemic. You will go away with a better understanding, appreciation, and respect for Race Directors and running events. Lonnie and Michelle started the https://www.fetalhealthfoundation.org/ (Fetal Health Foundation.) Twin to Twin Transfusion System (TTTS) should have taken their lives. But the frantic search for information and resources, fetal surgery saved them. Today they are healthy identical twin girls. They created https://thegreatcandyrun.com/ (The Great Candy Run) and today https://halsports.net/ (Hal Sports) and dedication to running is their business and passion. Runners, it is getting hot out there as we transition into summer. Remember to take more fluids, run slower in the heat, and try to run earlier in the morning when it is cooler. Thank you for listening to the https://feelgoodrunning.com/ (Feel Good Running Podcast), and please share this with your running friends and on your social media platforms.

Running Race Events are Back! – Race Directors Lonnie Somers & Creigh Kelley

Hello Runners, It's almost summer, and things are looking optimistic in the running world. About time wouldn't you say? On May 5, 2021, my sister-in-law, https://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/erietimesnews/lorraine-lynch-condolences/198560555?&utm_source=MarketingCloud&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GBNewEntryAlert_PowerInbox_Ancestry_TEST&utm_content=View+Guest+Book&sfmc_id=166301410&env=1b91862ca2c3f91f2dca060b9450997648ba630e (Lorraine Lynch) passed away. She was in my life since I was born. Lorraine was a kind, giving, and selfless woman who was the glue of our family. There are so many memories, and I appreciated her very much. I thank you for all you have done for me since I was born. I will never forget you, and I love you. My guest in this episode is everyday runner https://www.facebook.com/al.balmer (Al Balmer) from Austin, Texas. Al reached out, interested in talking about his father-in-law Manny and how marathon running intertwined during his life and death. A very moving conversation. And, Al will be running the 2021 Boston Marathon with his mom Karen as a mother-son team. They are running for the Boston Marathon charity, Community Rowing. They have a hefty fundraising goal to achieve. If you would like to donate, https://www.givengain.com/d/ap/36626#amount (CLICK HERE)! It would be very kind of you. I've been busy the past few months running, interviewing amazing guests for future episodes, two of them very powerful. On the other hand, and sadly, Motivation "Runday" Monday has possibly run its course. I hope you've enjoyed the episodes and runners featured. They were all amazing! Listenership for Motivation "Runday" Monday is excellent; however, participation not so much. As hard as I have tried to solicit runners to participate, the well has run dry. These episodes are by you and, for you, the everyday runner. That said, I will keep trying for your participation but will put Motivation Runday Monday on hold through June to see if it somehow can be reignited. If you would like to participate, go to feelgoodrunning.com/mrm. There are seven questions to answer, which you can do so in your own words: Say your name, where you live (city-state), and how long you have been running. What initially inspired you to start running? What motivates you to keep running regularly? Why is running so important to you? Who is your running role model? Maybe someone that you look up to for inspiration! What motivating message would you like to share with other runners? What is your favorite inspirational and motivating quote, and who said it? https://www.speakpipe.com/feelgoodrunning (CLICK HERE), and you can record up to 5 minutes of your answers in your own words. If you need more time, you can go back, click again, and record five more minutes for as long as you need. If you get tripped up, don't worry, I will edit it all and make you sound great! You can record from your laptop, desktop, and even your iPad or tablet as long as it has a microphone. Easy! And share with other runners! It will be your 15 minutes of fame.
