Hopefully I’m doing more good than harm. I went in to see him this week.  He’s working out of seaport area of Boston.  There’s a lot going on down there.  That’s the place GE is building its new HQ. Since I was in there I recorded the interview in this show.  Interesting stuff. In section one I have a useful instructional piece on smoothies! Yes smoothies! In Section two I have finally wrote down a story that has been bouncing around in my head for a good 5+ years.  Working with Arnar finally shook it loose.  As you know I’m a big science fiction fan.  I was able to combine Science Fiction and running into a story!  How about that?  And no zombies required. Nothing unusual to report on the training front.  Last week was a down week and I’m ramping it back up this week.  Still have to go out tonight and do a hill workout when it cools down a little.  I had to sleep in a bit this morning.  I’ve had some sort of allergy or cold this week.  I noticed my HR was high on Tuesday when I did my morning 10 mile trail run. I gave blood on Wednesday and I’ve figured out how to pass all the hurdles.  I mentally raise my heart rate up into the 50’s by thinking about fighting and sprinting and finishing a race etc. – and that gets me by the low heart rate constraint.  Then I took a tip from one of my running buddies and pounded water all day going in so I would be dehydrated and sure enough the blood came squirting out!  No problems.  I managed to get down to my house on the Cape and spend a couple days cleaning.  I did ride my bike over to the ocean and go for a snorkel.  Got some sun.  … My tomatoes are coming in but the real bounty is in the wild black raspberries outside my garden.  There are so many they are falling ripe to the ground.  I go out every couple days and pick a quart or so but I have to tamp down my compulsion to pick all the ripe berries because I would be out all day. I told Teresa that we are disturbing the natural ecosystem by pillaging all the wild black berries.  Those berries want to be eaten by wild animals who then spread the berry seed with a bit of fertilizer throughout the neighborhood.  I told her if we eat the berries that only way we can save nature is to poop in the woods.  She and I were all set to climb Mt. Washington last weekend but when I checked the weather it said it was 34 degrees Fahrenheit, 100% rain and hail with 40 mph winds on the mountain.  I’ve had my fair share of adventures but I told her that didn’t sound like something we should willfully walk into.  On with the show. … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean? It means you don’t have to listen to me trying to sound sincere about Stamps.com or Audible.. (although, fyi, my MarathonBQ book is on audible) We do have a membership option where you can become a member and as a special thank you, you will get access to member’s only audio. There are book reviews, odd philosophical thoughts, zombie stories and I curate old episodes for you to listen to.  I recently added that guy who cut off is foot so he could keep training and my first call with Geoff Galloway.   “Curated” means I add some introductory comments and
