as a long-time hoops blog junkie, what a treat this is for me!
paul, if my pre-VOX SBNation fanboy in me had a dream interview i can wish to existence, it'll be you and spencer, from his EDSBS fame, trying to talk about running then ending up talking about something weird and beautiful.
"Life gets hard all the time. But the only thing you can control is if you freak out or not. If you don’t freak out, then you’re probably going to be OK. "
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Running has been just about the only steady thing for me in the pandemic, and the rest of life has been where I am freaking out. It so happened that this morning I woke up feeling better about the rest of life than I have in a long time, and this interview helped make that even clearer.
"You told me a great line that has stayed with me forever. It was before my first marathon. You said, ‘The first 20 miles are your training and the last six miles are between you and your God.’"
This interview was great, and worth it just to hear this quote.
I don't want to get in your business (although it is possible I just missed the announcement), but several weeks ago you mentioned that this would at some point become a subscription service. It would mean a lot to me to be able to compensate you somehow for the work you've given us and the inspiration I've drawn from RP. Heck of a time to start a small business, but I am excited to have your back in my own meager way.
Thanks for everything and I look forward to the Ramble!
Wonderful! And this is just about as head of a nail you can hit. "So, maybe on some deep level it feels like this is how we rehearse survival." Truer words have rarely been spoken.
I used to have a running partner who would do long weekend runs and races with me. Our long runs were slow but the best I ever had. Because of the pace, our conversations were therapeutic, funny and the best memories.

Haha, we'll make that happen somehow.

That's awesome. Keep going.

Thank you, I love that quote. I think about it every time I have a race.
There's a relay race around Lake Tahoe in the first week of June. I don't know if it's happening this year though.
That would be amazing. I dream of getting back out west for runs.
Great interview! Love this format
Thanks a bunch. It's really fun. Don't want to overuse it, but I think we'll be seeing a lot more of these in the not so distant future.
Ha ha ha, Henry was the Five Fingers guy.
I was, too.
outstanding

Working on the details, likely to be within the next month or so. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying that, Joe.

Thanks to you, Paul and to Henry.
Sometimes I think we should just record our slow as hell conversations while we run and turn it into a podcast
