Now here's your host, Richard Blaze.

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

Richard Blaze here, live from Santa Rosa in Sonoma County in

Northern California, straight off of a plane after running yesterday in real time. And two days ago,

in your time, the New York City Marathon. And sadly, I'm up here by myself, Jasmine's in Southern

California. I'm here in Northern California.

Ran the marathon yesterday. The legs are feeling a little bit creaky, but overall, if you were following me on the Instagram page or did a cameo with me, you know that I had a good run,

finished strong. I would say probably my most successful run.

And I just want to take a quick moment here during the open to give everybody a thank you and a shout out and just let you know how much the love and support meant not only at mile 16 there as we were running over the queensborough bridge and we were doing

this live post on the insta but just in general um you know when especially we get into the world

of health and wellness and uh the whole life challenge all these things that we've been talking about

here on the podcast all of your support means a lot. And I never would have ever thought, you know, even as soon as, you know,

as recent as eight months ago, that, you know, me, you know, running a marathon or me even just

going out for a run through the woods or, you know, taking a weird selfie,

sorry, in the gym would inspire so many people that end up in my DMs or send me messages

on platforms to say that how somehow I inspired them.
