Maybe more like weekend wimpy, but I'm getting out there. This show has some societal observations which maybe you've never thought about. 

Six time Ironman John Pendergrass died Wednesday, 11-8-2023, at this home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. John was a husband, father to three, grandfather to several, medical doctor, author, friend, marathon runner, and a Vietnam Veteran. He lived a full life and will be missed. His obituary can be viewed here John Pendergrass obituary. John is my cousin.   John wrote two books about his extraordinary life: Against the Odds Racing Back to Vietnam

I've gone from 50 miles a week to a 2 mile run. Covering two miles is a success for where I'm at with my running fitness. That and more in this show which includes an encore presentation of episode #199 from 2014.    Thanks for downloading the show, my email is [email protected].    

If you've stayed subscribed to this podcast, then you are appreciated and I need to hear from you at [email protected].   I'm recovering from a situation I didn't think I would have as a runner. It's not tragic or anything like that. I make that distinction because I have close friends who are coping with more than I can imagine at this point my my/our lives. I've produced this show to provide some information about me and to show respect to a few of my local running buddies. 

A good friend of mine, Detective Kevin Hiner of the Richmond Police Department, was recently recognized for his outstanding police work. Kevin and I have been friends for several years and he was very deserving of this award. The link below has more information about the award he received. Kevin was interviewed by local talk radio host Jeff Katz of WRVA 1140. I reposted this interview to honor Kevin and bring more attention to his work.  Blue Friday Award - Lt. Jan McTernan Thanks for downloading the show.
