Episode 1 - Sy Doan on Running in DC and Beyond

"There's something about the long run...it's like this is what my body was meant to do, just cranking along for long periods of time."

For my first attempt at this whole talking heads podcasting situation I interviewed my long time running buddy, Sy Doan. Sy is an education policy researcher in DC and an active member of the DC running community. He speaks on his favorite places to run in DC, aspects of running he finds more challenging, how he began running, and why you should not be intimidated to run with your local running group.

(Pacers Running is the group referenced most in this podcast as a local DC group - there are many runs and groups to check out in our area! Sy also brings up East Nasty, a Nashville run group he loved.)

Many thanks to Sy for agreeing to be the first interview in this passion project exploring people's relationship with moving their bodies and forming active communities in the District. And special shouts to Dan Hoffman for the soundtrack you hear.
