Teesche Podcast
I believe that there are a few things that will help us lead a better life. One is to focus on having both a healthy mind and body. To achieve this, I try to read a good number of books and run several marathons each year. Since I began writing blog posts in 2011, I have focused primarily on books and races as my main topics. More recently, I have converted some of these posts into narrated podcasts that can be easily enjoyed while running.
