033: Buffering... Processing

Podcast! In a stunning development, Ellie now owns clothes! And Chris has allergies! Also, we keep it simple this week folks, just chatting about long run weekends and life defining moments. Also, the food segment features Carrot Dog sand Asparagus.

Hi! Hope you are doing well. We recorded a podcast. :-) In it, we talk about why we haven’t recorded one recently, what we’ve been up to, what our new plans and things and life have us into (hint, injuries, and school, and shoes, and special projects) and then of course, we talk about food! Thank you for listening.

It has been some kind of week hasn’t it? Has it been a week already?! Ugh... Oh... No... Has it only been a week? Whatever it’s been, it’s been one of those. That’s what it’s been. TL;DR Bailing on runs like it’s our job.

Chris has some old man niggles because he isn't being well-rounded. Ellie didn't quite hit her splits. What even is Burnout? And a most unconventional food segment... Savory and hydrating!

We’re thankful for you, dear listener. And in this episode, Ellie Pell fell. Ellie also ran a race. Chris is wandering in the woods for longer and longer these days. There are feelings about races. Plus Tofurkey, Celebration Roasts, Cranberry Sauce, Leftover sandwiches and Oatmeal.

Ellie has a two workout week while Chris goes to the AT. Why aren’t we doing yoga and what are we gonna do about it? (Hint: Group Peer Pressure) A December strength challenge is discussed! The Food Segment features Cheese Sauce for your throat and Lentils for your Aid Station.

It’s balmy as heck outside. Ellie is working hard and runnin’ real fast and Chris ran the Muddy Sneaker course (12.5 miles, lots of feets up and down!) One of us turned 29... and didn’t even have the decency to share the occasion with the other! Are you Race Fit? What is Race Fit? You wanna race? Depends on who’s asking. Thought so. :-) Also, how hard is it to make a few cups of rice?! For real. And avocados are sauce now.

It is the spookiest time of the year... so what better time than now for scary running stories? Chris and Ellie risk life and limb... and their restful slumber to share some of their skeeeery moments running. (And rest assured, these aren't like the real-life where people are threatened while running... that stuff is no joke! ❤️) And in the food segment, we make good on our promise to do a bit better with our preparations.

We’re talking Time Management! How do you fit it all in? Where does the time go? My how time flies. And other things like that. Plus in our food segment, we promise to redouble our efforts and get real again. (Well, Chris does... Ellie remains real)

Ellie has a bee in her bonnet. She altered a workout and her scones aren't the greatest. And she's fine with it. This week, we talk about being mediocre. Or being okay with being mediocre. Or giving ourselves some space while figuring out what mediocre is. Regardless, we're pretty okay with okay, but also with okay with better.
