Hello Runners,

How is it going? It's February, and we have already completed one month of 2022. I hope you are all healthy.

Are you on track with your running goals for 2022? And for our new runners who may have started your running journey as a new year resolution, are you still with us? I guarantee if you stick with running, it will change you as a person.

I just returned from https://www.gohawaii.com/islands/maui (Maui )and had a wonderful time. So I spent much of my time prepping the course for the 2022 Maui Marathon coming up on Sunday, April 24th. The mile markings needed to be touched up, and the race course is now tip-top shape. And oh so beautiful! So consider running it this year! Just think of what a fantastic vacation this would be.

And the good news is I have a unique code that will give you 25% off either the full or half marathon for the 2022 Maui Marathon. CODE: feelgoodrunning25 (case sensitive) This code does not apply to the Marathon Relay, 5K, or 10K races.

While in Maui, I planned to run the 10K of the https://www.mauioceanfrontmarathon.com/ (Maui Oceanfront Marathon) instead; I helped the timing company at the halfway point of the half marathon. It was great to see all the runners as they turned to head back. A perfect morning!

Of course, I saw many of my friends, and it felt like I had never left. Maui is forever in my heart, and who knows, I could once again be my home in the future.

In this episode, I have four news stories for you. The first story is about our homegirl from right here in Denver, https://www.thefunnyrunner.com/ (Brittany Charboneau), who won overall women for all four races at the https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/disneyworld-marathon-weekend/events/challenges/ (Disney Marathon Goofy Challenge). The second is a story about how running makes you smarter. The third is about a remarkable woman https://www.sonomanews.com/article/sports/running-through-the-pain-to-100th-half-marathon/ (Gretchen Schoenstein). And finally, a heartwarming story about https://www.upworthy.com/pet-duck-nyc-marathon?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1 (Wrinkle the Duck), who ran the 2021 https://www.nyrr.org/tcsnycmarathon (NYC Marathon). Enjoy
