RAF039: Good and Evil
I have a lot to talk about today. Philosophy, Medicine, Diet. I start the six-meal-a-day plan and share exactly what I typically eat on one of those six-meal days.
RAF038: Partners in Crime
I take a walk with my friend Tom Rohr, president of the St. Anthony of Padua Educational Society (Padua Media), and founder of the Padua Podcast Network. Tom is a serious walker, sometimes walking 10…
RAF037: My First Little Weight Training
Today I start my strength training. I missed my second walk this week, and I’m moving up to walking three times a week as I continue to come back from my knee injury. Today is the first day of my str…
RAF036: Mistakes
I find out that I have been too extreme in my diet and have to make some big adjustments. I talk about this and more as I walk on a cold and rainy day.
RAF035: And More Patience
I wanted to give a little more information about the workout from Episode 33 in which the recording was cut short. I’m a little impatient now, and that needs to be tempered with the realization that …
RAF034: Fitness, Diet, and Medicine
I am now hitting the trail every three days, up from the weekly workouts I did for the first three weeks back from the injury. I am very happy to be injury free and pain free.
Since I’ve been on this…
RAF033: Patience
Patience is the fortitude and willingness to wait as long as I have to, to move forward when I need to, and then continue on. Determination is the energy that drives me. I make a couple of wrong turn…
RAF032: More Goodness, Less Badness
A lot of things prevented me from getting in the mid-week workout this week. This might not have been a problem when I was doing this every day, but now I am out of the habit. This week I did not get…
RAF031: Stubborn Return
Fitness Department: I am very happy that I had no ill effect from the last run a week ago. These are definitely low-impact workouts. But that’s how we get back into it, one step at a time, one minute…
RAF030: I'm Back!
As I celebrate 30 episodes, I’m also celebrating a triumphant return after six weeks of being on the injured reserve list due to my knee injury. But I’m feeling much better now, rarely feeling any pa…
RAF029: Injury Report
I went to my primary care physician because my knee had not improved over the weekend, since I felt some sharp pain when starting my run. They took X-rays, and he warned me not to run and to walk at …
RAF028: Not Yet Defeated
I go out for a test, fact-finding walk. I can’t really know exactly what to do about my injury. I’m not going out today just because I am stubborn. I think it might be better to exercise in moderatio…
RAF027: R.I.C.E.-ing
I take a day off from exercise. I’ve solicited advice from a couple of people, and I talk about that advice and how I am weighing it. It was suggested that I do something low-impact like using an ell…
RAF026: Time Management and my Tragic Flaw
Tragically, I am distracted today. I have a lot to do in a short span of time. Holiday grocery shopping, painting a room, and finding some furniture to go in it. But I have made physical health and f…
RAF025: The Demons of Doubt
Continuing on the theme of mental control, I try to invent some way to help myself get through the run. Some strategy of thought and concentration to distract me, to fight off negative thoughts, what…
RAF024: Southern Breakfast
I offer my detailed instructions for how to make the breakfast that I enjoyed this morning:
Southern Sausage and Eggs
2 tbsp. bacon grease or shortening 2 eggs 2 sausage patties or 4 slices of bacon …
RAF023: Adversity and Pain
How do you handle adversity? Do you have people you talk to? Things that you do? I have attitude problems but I keep on going, trying to maintain. It’s in the hard times that we really find out who w…
RAF022: Difficult, Uncomfortable, and Painful
Frustration has to be met with determination. Survival is a win. I reason that the more success one has, the harder it is to get that incremental increase. So while on my first run, I had an infinite…
RAF021: A Light in the Darkness
We went past twenty episodes without celebrating, so yay! That is a lot of episodes for a podcast and it’s a good sign that we have some staying power. I intentionally leave the house later. Since I …
RAF020: Gait Analysis and More
Special Guest: Heather
I go to Rush Running, a local running store, and get a gait analysis. First I put on a neutral test shoe, get on a treadmill, and start running for a few seconds. Then Heather …
