Epi #45 - Recap of the Mercedes Half Marathon

earlymorningcruzin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:37:08 +0000

Hey! Well.. I didn’t break the 1:30 mark for this half but that’s OK.. This one was pretty tough and I gave it all I had… So take a listen to me and J2 and oh yeah Skip (aka The Freshman) as we run a loop over what will be the next half marathon for Skip and me.

I suppose my podcast can be defined as a podcast by runners.. pretty good runners, that just like to go out on these roads of ours and have a great time in not taking ourselves to serious. I think part of the fun I have in doing this podcast is laying it all out there .. the good, bad and the ugly. But maybe that is why we have a couple runners listening. I don’t know?

I heard a good song the other day that I added at the end of the recording.. by the artist Paul Thorne.. “Everybody Looks Good at the Starting Line”.. appropriate wouldn’t you say?

Epi #44 - J2 Recaps his Rocket City Marathon adventure

earlymorningcruzin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:53:52 +0000

Hey! Join J2 and I as we recap his latest (and maybe last) marathon. J2 ran the Rocket City marathon a couple of weeks ago and we go on a run and replay the miles.

Daily Mile profile is on Colin Hayes.. Colin is the writer, producer and performer of the EMC theme song and many parody songs (include in this epi is the classic “Toenails Turning Black”). He has been sidelined for several weeks due to various injuries, but he is coming back strong. Colin is a super guy and lives by the phrase.. “don’t take yourself or really anything to serious”.. as you can see by this video >> http://youtu.be/y0F081lsXlY

I included a song in this Epi by Eddie “Kookie” Byrnes called “Yulesville”.. for all you hip cats out there..

Epi #43 - Running Ramblings & DailyMile Profile and Promos

earlymorningcruzin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:15:44 +0000

Hey Join me today as I for a short run through some hills in my neighborhood. Just talked about whatever was in my head… Also I have some Promos that have been passed my way that I added. One is a promotion of a new Kindle book published by Chris Russell of the runrunlive podcast. If you listen to Chris on his podcast you can’t help but hear his voice as you read this book. In addition you will hear of a new project called Run World Radio. This is a new magazine show in which 3 runners from 3 different continents catch up to talk about their running across their contrasting terrain and seasons. There will be documentary segments from our various events as well as news from the stranger side of running. We will have runcasts, thought provoking opinions, plus the very best podsafe music around.

Also I included a short profile of one of my DailyMile friends, Dominic A. Dom is a great guy and one that I can always count on for encouragement.

Epi #31 - Mercedes Half Marathon review

earlymorningcruzin — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 02:14:17 +0000

Hey! Join J2 and me as we go for a 4 mile run through the streets of our town. I use this time to talk about this past weekend and my 10th anniversary running of the Mercedes Half Marathon.

Running this race really opened my eyes to the variety of runners that make up this running community. It’s as diverse a community as there can be.. there is no bounds on race, culture and yes body shapes.. we represent everyone.

Preshow music is a fun song by Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong called Brother Bill.. when you hear it you’ll know why I chose it. The ending song is in preparation of the upcoming Mardi Gras season.

Join J2 and I as we go for a six mile Saturday run around town. This really is a show about nothing. We take off and just talk about what is on our mind during the run. There is some dead air during the run as we make our way up hills or just run out of stuff to say. Hopefully you’ll take us on a 1 hour run, as this will probably be like having someone along with you during you run…

Hope everyone’s training is going great in 2011!!
