I'm John Richards and welcome to another running podcast. I've been sitting here trying to think

of how to start this running podcast as I've done a few of these and I think I just want to start

with, all right, you should probably start running. Get started. Start putting one foot in front of the

other. That's why we're here, right? And a big shout out to everybody who signed up for the running podcast.

And a shout out to our sponsor as well, Brooks, Running.

I just talked to their company about running and mental health and KexP.

It was a great conversation.

Really good people there.

And thank you for supporting the running podcast.

Thanks to all the supporters of KEXP and those have signed up for this runcast and a shout out to all the non-runners

who use this podcast as well. Adam Erb in Baltimore told me, John, I'm an avid road

cycler and a regular listener and supporter of Kexb, and I just finished listening

to Runcast Volume 20 while on a bike ride. You said to give you a shout out, where are we running? Well, I have several biking routes around Baltimore City as well as around the reservoirs out past the burbs where I have more time. I've loved every run cast you put out and have listened to all of them while cycling. I love the feel of the songs,

the inspirational quotes, the talk of being outside, and the feeling of the runners high. All that applies

to us bikers too, so no need to change the name of the podcast. Thank you, Adam, but maybe give a

shout out to us bikers from time to time. I bet there are others out there like me who get as much

from this podcast as the runners do. I love that. So however

you use this podcast, welcome, reach out to me, John at Kegiexb.org, and let's get running,

let's get biking, let's get swimming, let's get hiking, let's get outside, let's get moving,

and the important thing is we keep moving forward. You're not alone. It's the running podcast. The
