Lori Michener

How come you're not running right now?
No, seriously, grab some headphones and go for a run while you listen.

Peter and Bryan welcome ultrarunner and ultrawinner Lori Michener to the WGBH Studio at the Boston Public Library. Lori talks about running her first 100-mile race (the Florida Keys 100), how she ended up running THREE 100-mile races last year, and what she's doing to train for her next challenge—the Badwater 135. She also describes how she managed to impress her 16-year-old son, the charity she has supported for (about to be) 10 Boston Marathons, and what it takes to do so much training while also working as a college professor and parenting. (Hint: It involves a Paul.) Then, it's time for questions from the live audience about everything from running rituals and superstitions to how to properly fold socks. #MarieKondoisright

Chaugust Check In Week 2

We are in week 2 of Chaugust and time to check in on our progress. Peter is not eating bread but is eating 31 different flavors of ice cream while completing his 5k a day. Bryan forgot his big book about the Constitution to read while on vacation but is making up for it by getting all his runs in. And both admit that the journaling needs to stay a priority, as it is the secret to a successful Chaugust. Plus messages and voice memoooooos from Judy, Evan, and of course, Mary from Maine.
