Summary

I am on a little bit of a hiatus from recording new episodes of the podcast so I’m taking this time as an opportunity to re-run some of my favorites from years past that some of you may want to revisit and others might be hearing for the first time.

This week, I’m bringing back an incredible conversation I had a little over three years ago with Katie Arnold. Katie is mom, a heck of an ultrarunner, and a great writer, whose memoir, Running Home, really spoke to me on a number of levels. In it, we talked about “smile” and “flow” and why those words are important to her when she races, reverse goal-setting and how this strategy sets her up for success, and balancing competitive running with the rest of her life. We also discussed the importance of observation and paying attention, how death can wake us up to the powerful realization that everything is changing all the time, and how her book came to be and what she hopes readers take away from it.

0:12.4	that every day is happy, but I do it because I love it, and I feel good when I run, and
0:16.9	the racing is just a fraction of it.
0:20.0	And I had run all summer training on sort of that happiness principle, where if I'm training
0:26.4	happy and not stressed, and I'm enjoying it, then I'm training strong and I'll be healthy.
0:32.4	And so that was just a reminder to let it come from within and to tap into that deep
0:38.6	pleasure I take in running that really has nothing to do with competition.
