Step One: You Start Running. There is No Step Two
In our last podcast episode I said I’m interested in writing the book, “How to Run a Marathon in 3 Easy Steps”. I just need to figure out what the “easy steps” are.

Interesting Photos from the MTA Virtual Half Marathon
Runners participating in our virtual half marathon are sending in reports and photos of their run.
It’s fun to see the routes people have chosen and hear back. These runs are like mini-adventures.
For the MTA Virtual Half Marathon runners complete their 13.1 on their home turf (or wherever they want) and we send out the finisher’s medal in the mail.
The race completely sold out -a huge thanks to everyone who signed up!!

Shout Out to Gwen Lingenfelter!
Big shoutout to former Academy member Gwen Lingenfelter who is sharing her passion for running today at her company’s wellness fair.
From Gwen . . .
“I only started running in 2011. The MTA podcasts & lessons are the one thing that helped me to learn to run, to quit smoking, and to understand that running is my fountain of youth!
Because of that, in 2013, I did 12 half marathons (one a month). Ten of those were Rock ‘n’ Roll Series races so I achieved all the Heavy Medals that year.
The above picture is my RnR Nashville Finisher Medal. I also did New Orleans, Dallas, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, San Jose, Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Antonio, plus two local halves that same year. -Gwen
