Hi. My name’s Michael. And I am going to run a 5K. What follows is a series of podcasts documenting my progress in training for my first such event. Follow along as I discuss the ups, downs, high, lows, benefits, trials, enjoyments and tribulations … as well as share knowledge I’ve garnered about how to be successful and lessons I’ve learned about how not to be.

The event is slated for Sept. 27, 2014, and I’ll be posting episodes every couple weeks or so until the race, so be sure lace up your favorite podcatcher and follow along! Here’s an archive of the episodes so far:

1) 118 days to go, released June 1, 2014.
