Hello and welcome to episode 4-336 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  I’m squeezing this one in on an off week to help out my interviewee today, Anthony Solorzano, (sounds like a character from a Quintin Tarantino film), but he’s a lifelong runner, with a passion, who is making, or has actually made a movie called Varsity Punks.  His Kickstarter campaign to put the finishing touches on this new cross country team themed movie ends on April 13th. 
I figured with a little extra midnight oil I could get this episode up in time before that kickstarter closes. 
If you want some good swag and want to help Anthony bring a running-themed feature length film to market go now and kick some cash his way. 
I’m not getting any kickbacks, I just like the idea of bringing the discussion around running as a real sport out into the open!  I try to help people when I can.  It’s karma.  So, yeah, we’re talking to Anthony today about his movie.  Go watch the trailer – it’s cool – the links are in the notes. 
If I can swing it you’ll get 3 podcasts in three weeks – plus all the good stuff I’m putting into the members section.
In the first section I’m going to talk about why sometimes your training is always hard and why it’s ok.  In the second section I wax counter-culturally about passion. 
What I’m not going to give you are any advertisements.  No Harry’s razors, no Audible and no Stamps.com. 
Actually, while we’re on the topic, I think you should go to the post office.  The public post is one of the great enablers of civilized society.  Yeah it’s slow and everyone is grumpy but that’s why you should go down there.  Think of the great impact you and your positive attitude can have on those poor, lost souls standing in line!  If you bought your stamps online you’d be denying them your bright light.
Those confused old people using pennies to buy stamps ae the greatest generation.  They are the defenders of democracy and the western world.  You should go get to know them.
Get thee to the post office!  Go when it’s busy.  Stop along the way and bring coffee and donuts.  Strike up conversations, make friends and make someone’s day.  Life’s not just about the miserly squeezing of pennies and minutes.  Treat it like a safari, and adventure.

I’d like to thank Eric and Keating and Cliff and Judith for paying the dealer this week.  I asked for feedback and Eric said I’m not funny anymore.  I used to be funny. 
So I’ll tell you some jokes:  Clean jokes for your kids.  For all you teachers and coaches. 
The first one is for trail runners.  Q: How do crazy runners go through the forest? A: They take the psycho path.
No didn’t like that one?  This next one I may converted from a blonde joke…Q: Why did the Labrador retriever jog backwards? A: She wanted to gain weight!
And here’s one the 3-5 year-olds will think
