#393 - I put together a list of most of the public restrooms on running routes in San Francisco. This does not include public restrooms in department stores and cafes. I already know I left a few off, so sorry if I left your favorite pitstop off. I tried my best. It was a lot of fun thinking of all the places I could think of and seeing some of the map I forgot about! I know I forgot two restrooms at Land's End. I forgot about the restrooms directly behind the Legion of Honor and the port o poddys at the parking lot for the USS San Francisco Memorial. I hope you like it!

#392 - Recently, I was inspired to dig deep into the thinking part of running. I read the book "Running & Philosophy" by Wiley Blackwell. It's a great look into how we can view running from a different perspective. So this week, I give my take on philosophy and running and how we can make it work for us and our runs.

Running & Philosophy is available on Amazon.

#391 - The Park Conservancy, the group that works with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, created a great trail or course on the west side of San Francisco recently. It's about 12 miles long, so I thought I'd check it out. This episode is all about that trail. It goes through several park areas, both federal and city parks. It's really a great idea and you might like to try it out yourself! The link is below.

#390 - Jesse Owens was one of the greatest runners in history. He was a trail blazer, a leader a father, husband and a hero. He was everything America and the world needed at a time when everything seemed to be torn apart. He showed that talent was helpful in athleticism, but it was one's hard work and desire to win that made the difference. And he wasn't going to let any bully, no matter how intimidating, tell him otherwise. This week, I talk all about Owens, and why he's one of the best the world has ever seen. Also, I talk about something that's happening now and how it can help us move forward for a better future.

#389 - I've done a few episodes about running rules we should follow. This week, I'm turning everything around and talking some running rules we don't have to follow, at least part of the time. Take in mind, not everything is right or wrong, so it depends on the situation and whether you're an experienced runner or just beginning. But many times, we don't have to follow those running rules "they" say we have to follow. Which is kind of nice, because I hate following rules. LOL

#388 - This week asks the question: Are you an Extrovert or Introvert Runner? there is no wrong or right answer and most people are a bit of each. But, depending on your answer could determine what training and your races look like. This episode isn't meant to be taken too seriously, just a bit of fun to have a look at our personalities. So, are you training for a world-renown marathon or an ultra high in the mountains? Or neither?

#387 - Every year when my Sober Birthday comes around, I like to talk about it on the show. I pick a different theme or aspect of sobriety and what it means to me. There are thousands of us sober/clean runners out there. I can think of few activities that are as great for those getting sober or clean than running. My theme this year is being honest with ourselves. This applies to both running and the rest of our lives. Many times we're not honest with ourselves in our running. It's time to be honest. If you're injured, then get help. If you're slow and you run, you're a runner. And so on..... give yourself props, you deserve it.

#386 - What do runners think about while we're running? I ask this question and try to answer it with things that I've thought about over the years and I compare that to a study of runners that was done. What do you think about during your runs? Pace, form, food, or maybe all of the above?

I also review Haruki Murakami's book "What I Talk About When I Talk Bout Running" that I finally read. In fact his book gave me the idea for this episode.

So have fun and and enjoy your next run!
