Description

Hello Runners,
It's spring! On my run this morning, I heard birds chirping. Yeah, being in Denver, we have this thing called winter. I know that some of you live in warmer climates and cannot relate. But the bird thing is a big deal. The snow thing gets old!
I'm pleased to bring you this exciting episode that you will enjoy. It has been quite some time since I interviewed a guest. So it felt good to get back in the interview saddle.
A little over a week ago, my friend introduced me to this runner with an incredible story. In 2015, https://www.facebook.com/ben.reisinger.77 (Ben Reisinger) weighed 375 pounds. After moving back from Denver, he started his transformation, and in October of 2021, he ran a 2:52 marathon at the https://www.baystatemarathon.com/ (Baystate Marathon) in Lowell, MA. Ben is an inspiration to all runners.
Enjoy this episode! And if Ben's story inspires you, please send me a note to let me know your thoughts at jim@feelgoodrunning.com.
And as I mentioned in previous episodes, I am very involved with the https://mauimarathon.com/ (Maui Marathon) as the course director. We are all ready to go for the event on April 24th. I have a unique code for listeners to give you 25% off 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. Plan a vacation to Maui and wrap it around an incredible race experience! For more information, go to http://mauimarathon.com/ (MauiMarathon.com)
Thank you for listening to the Feel-Good Running Podcast! Please consider sharing this podcast with your running friends and on your social media platforms if you like it. I do not spend money to advertise my podcast. Instead, I try to grow it organically, which is by you, my listeners, sharing it! Thank You!
Remember to be kind to others, even if some are not kind to you. Kindness now is vital with the horrible things happing in Ukraine. We all need to make a difference. Happy running and stay injury-free. Peace everyone!
~ Jim
