0:00.0	Welcome to the K-EXP Runcast. I'm your host, John Richards. Today's runcast is a marathon confessional.
0:08.0	It is a very long runcast with a lot of music I've collected throughout this season, and it's a way to end this particular season of the runcast.
0:16.0	Don't you worry. We'll have another season coming in the near future, but for now, this is going to be the marathon run cast to get you through the rest of your running season.
0:25.8	Although for me, running isn't really seasonal.
0:28.2	It's year-round, no matter what the weather is here in Seattle or when I travel.
0:32.9	I run, and I have started running when I was in fifth grade.
