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.
