| 0:57.0 | But before I take you back in time, one more note from 2022. We have a new inbox for the podcast. We'd love to hear from you. If you have any questions or feedback about the way we've done the Runcast in the past or recommendations for guests or themes you'd like to hear this season, shoot us an email at Runcast at kexp.org. Keep in mind when it comes to music suggestions, |

| 1:17.1 | and we hope you run happy today. |
| 1:22.1 | If you were listening to the last podcast, I asked for all of you to let me know if you've signed up for a race, or maybe I ask you, you probably should sign up for a race. |
| 1:26.9 | And a lot of people responded, I want to start off the podcast with Mark's message. It said, I wrote to you a while back about the importance of your runcast after my mom passed away in February of 2020. I just want to give you a quick update. Your latest runcast got me through a 25K along the Hiawatha Trail on June 13th. I listened to it on repeat until I finish, |
| 1:46.2 | and my next race is going to be the Leavenworth Marathon in October. This is going to be my first |
| 1:51.4 | full marathon, and I'm excited to have the run cast as my soundtrack. Thank you for being the |
| 1:55.8 | voice in my head encouraging me to continue forward even when all of the other voices in my head |
| 2:00.7 | are yelling at me to stop. Mark, all of the other voices in my head are yelling at me |
| 2:02.0 | to stop. Mark, it's a perfect way to start our run cast. Let's get running. |
