Okay, I know what you're thinking.

It should be a gang show.

But, but, this weekend is the Vermont 100, and I interviewed the race director of the Vermont 100,

who have I been trying to interview for a while?

She's been on my mind as someone that I really wanted to get to know.

So I'm going to put this one out today so that people can listen to it in connection with the race.

And this is a really, really cool interview.

This is one of the good race directors out there that more people should be talking about.

This is a race that I've never heard anything bad about.

I have a couple

friends as their favorite race who have pretty deep running resumes as well. So Vermont 100,

people love it. It's one of the oldest, one of the best. And Amy is one of the best race directors

from everything that I can tell. And we had a really good conversation.

We ended up not talking about her running very much, which I regret, and I think I need

to talk to her again.

But we talked about things that race directors are facing.

We talked about the industry changes over time, dealing with issues such as they have

adapted athletes, different registration for different

genders, all kinds of just interesting issues and things to think about as race directors.

I learned a lot from her, and I hope that you'll learn a lot listening to both of us,

and I hope we keep you entertained on one of your long runs.

I don't say this enough, but you're supposed to listen to while you're running. So if you're just driving in the car or something, just hit pause, put on your running shoes, get out there and run because it's supposed to be like, what would it be like to go on a long run with me and Amy? And although you'd be frustrated right now at the fact that I'm unable to run. But, you know, you get the idea.
