| 9/26/23 | Episode 32: Shuffling in the Dark/Javelina Jangover 25k Race Recap | This is the last race in the Insomniac Night Series put on by Aravaipa Running. Located in the beautiful McDowell Mountains of Arizona, this was an event to remember. A last place finish, about a million potty breaks next to prickly desert bushes, a tarantula & scary trucker stories all made this 25k one for the books. I hope you enjoy this honest recap of my race! As always, thank you so much for listening.

| 9/19/23 | Episode 31: Racing Just Because I Can | I saw a recent social media post that just riled me up. In this episode we discuss whether you can race “too much” and whether the fact that you tell others you’re racing makes you a toxic runner :) Over here, running…and racing…is all about having fun and I hope you enjoy my take on the subject. As always, I’m not an expert in anything except my own experiences. Thank you so much for listening!

| 9/6/23 | Episode 29: Michelle’s Mishmash of Running Rubbish | The definition of mishmash is a “confused mixture” and that’s exactly what this episode is! I’m discussing all of the things that have been “running” through my head this past week. I talk about shoes, which trails to run, what races I have coming up, how untalented I am as a runner… the list goes on. I hope there’s something here that resonates with you!

| 8/29/23 | Episode 28: Bean Rollups, A Denim Skirt and An Unexpected Race Recap | You’re only crazy if you think you are…so that must mean I’m nuts. This episode was originally intended to explore the ins and outs of volunteering at an aid station during a fixed time event called Jackrabbit Jubilee in Buckeye, Arizona. When I saw the venue, I had serious FOMO and signed up for the 6 hour event starting an hour after my volunteer shift ended at midnight! Spontaneous decisions can be delightful, so I hope you’ll enjoy listening to how it all played out! As always…thank you for listening!

| 8/22/23 | Episode 27: “Ask What It Means to Win, and You’ll See That You Did” | I’m deep diving into my Vertigo Night Runs 20k race recap! Gorgeous, cloudy weather in the beautiful desert of Arizona made for perfect racing conditions. My finish time was not what I wanted… in fact I was dead last in my respective race distance…again! Hear how I talked myself out of a DNF after the first 10k loop and how the words of a wise running friend made the sun shine bright again in my corner of the running world. Thanks again for listening! Please let me know what you think of this episode by emailing funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM @waddellrunninglady on Instagram | — | ||||||
| 8/15/23 | Episode 26: The Reason Behind the Reason I Started Running/Storytime With Michelle | I hope you’re ready to hear the story of my mom’s penchant for eating her feelings, my dad’s stint in prison and how both of those things eventually contributed to me becoming a runner… in a roundabout way!

| 8/8/23 | Episode 25: Life, Running and Trying Not to Lose My Marbles | It isn't always easy to juggle running, life, crazy weather and people who want us to spend time with them. But we do the best we can! This episode shares some of what that juggling act looks like from my perspective. I touch on a couple of recent heat-related deaths in Maricopa County, Arizona and how I've recently been dealing with summer training. I also share stories and probably too many details about the Schroff family and our attempts to get my daughter...and her clunker of a vehicle...officially on the road as a brand new licensed driver. Enjoy! Please let me know what you think about this episode by emailing funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or by DMing me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. I'd love to hear how YOU juggle your crazy schedule! Referenced in this episode @desert_to_peak_coaching Thanks for listening! | — | ||||||
| 8/1/23 | Episode 24: Bagging on Ultrarunners, Sally...and other Running Randomness | I didn't have coffee before I recorded this shorter-than-usual episode. No breakfast, either. Be forewarned that my brain doesn't function too well under these conditions. This one's a veritable smorgasbord of randomness...why I love Sally McRae and want to be like her when I grow up...why people have no business making fun of ultramarathoners...how I want to run a hundred miler someday! I even state the elevations of Phoenix and Flagsatff, AZ for no apparent reason. I hope there's some value (or at least some entertainment) in this episode. Let me know what you think! As always, thanks for listening!
