#backofthepackpodcast #brewcrew #botpsecondwind @discoursebrew

It was a two race weekend edition of #medalmonday my friends! We went 10k’ing & 5k’ing on this opening weekend in December. Holiday themed races are upon us, so let’s see YOUR hard earned (festive) weekend #bling !
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc

The #jinglebellrun5k with the @arthritisfoundation is in the books. A cold windy Kansas morning never stood a chance against a whole bunch of amazing #runners ! It was a great morning & a runderful weekend!
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc

First run in a month! Where hath thy fitness gone?!?! Injury stinks, but it was so great being back on a course! The @championsrunkc 10k is in the books on a frost December morning! #backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc #runningmotivation #runningcommunity

The email is out about ordering your Tokyo Marathon t-shirt. It comes with a whopping $65 price tag! Of course we’ll pay for it, but it got us thinking. What is your most ridiculous #running purchase you’ve made? A $65 t-shirt? A $200 finishers jacket? (Guilty of both). Was it race merch? A health fad? The Ab Slide?!?! Where have you put some ill-advised moolah?
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc #runchat

It’s #medalmonday my friends! The #thanksgiving holiday is behind us. With so many Gobble themed races to choose from, it’s time to show off your hard earned bling! Let’s see those medals, selfies, race photos, accomplishments, & even bloopers! We��’re thankful for every single one!
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc

It’s an old school #medalmonday my friends! We’re going all the way back to 2014 to the #healthyholiday run series that @bodiesracecompany did. Yes, we did all the races & completely the puzzle that year! Now let’s see your pre-turkey day #bling from this past weekend!
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind

We said we were going to fill the bins and we did! The @backofthepackpodcast & @discoursebrew folks all crushed it for @harvesters last night at the Chasing Rabbits Run Club!

#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #chasingrabbitsrc #runningpodcast #runningcommunity #runningmotivation

The Monster Dash 5k is in the books! A fun morning with your Average Joe podcast host! A beautiful & perfect temperature morning almost got us to a sub half hour 5k. A 30:50 finish still wasn’t too shabby. Thank you cooler temperatures!

#backofthepackpodcast #chasingrabbitsrc #botpsecondwind #discoursebrewing #runclub #brewcrew #runningpodcast #runningcommunity

I’m really of the opinion that our #chasingrabbitsrc mascots need names. Before we meet tonight for @kcmarathon night, let’s name these two! What say you?
#backofthepackpodcast #botpsecondwind #discoursebrewing #runclub #brewcrew

Tomorrow is the Day! It’s @kcmarathon at the Chasing Rabbits Run Club! Make sure you’re at @discoursebrew before 6:30pm to get your name in the raffle for a free race entry!

I promise you will NEVER be the last out there! See you tomorrow!

Imposter Syndrome

This week we cover our most favorite topic. A listener requested topic! We opened the floor up to our Facebook page to see what folks had on their minds, and came up with this weeks episode. We're not all elite level. We don't all have that runners physique. Does that make us any less of a runner? Nope! Let's talk about impostor syndrome and how that relates to the running world.
