Welcome in to this edition of the podcast. I'm Chase Parm. Today, speaking with Oxford resident, Javi Sanchez.

Avi is someone I've known for a little while. He and his daughter and my daughter in the same

class and school. I kind of learned recently about his running situation that he has going right

now, his journey through competitive running that's been going

on for around a year, something like that at this point. As Hobby recently completed the

Chevron Houston Marathon in under three hours, two hours, 59 minutes, it is a Boston qualifying time.

However, as he talks about today, that doesn't necessarily mean you're getting into the Boston

Marathon with that qualifying time.

So we're going to go back through his history a little bit on the podcast today.

He was an Ole Miss student, how the NCAA sort of ended his collegiate running career before

it got started.

As Ole fans are aware of the NCAA's crazy policies, you'll appreciate this one, too.

And then how around this time a year ago, he was trying to lose a little weight like a lot of

us do around our age and got back into running.

And the journey that's happened that is really, we get down in the weeds, but it's so much

more than the marathon training or anything like that. But, you know, setting goals and things that don't have instant gratification, things that aren't necessarily given to you in the immediacy and the commitment and the consistency that's required for that. I think that's kind of the story of this podcast, as Hobby and I go through what's going on with him him his decision to put a lot of it on social media

you can check his youtube page i've linked that down in the description he has a really great kind of

mini doc on his journey through the houston marathon and then he's also updating you guys on kind of what's

next what he's got planned and then you can find things all over instagram too i've linked that as well

so let's get on with it all around around great guy, Oxford resident, now sub three-hour marathoner.

Javi Sanchez.

Hobby Sanchez is now joining us on the Campbell Clinic hotline, but it's good to talk to you.
