Episode 30 – Crystal Springs Trail Half and the Stages of a Running Life

Huddart State Park is an amazing place. It’s so beautiful and close to the city that many don’t even know about it. But you should, because it’s stunning. My last race was there. And despite the hip and quad pain, I even placed third in my age group. I talk about it in this episode.

After my race review, I talk about what I like to call the stages of a running life. I’ve named five different stages and they happen to all of us as well go through running. It’s a nice way to see our running as a moving, living and changing entity, like a friend that sees us through life.

And finally, I give an update on my hip and quad problems. Life goes on and so will my running, eventually. I hope you enjoy my show today, let me know what you think.
