Episode 49 is long and a ton of fun. After a special music quote to start the show, Pete and Gretchen jump right into #viewsfromthecouch and continue to profess their love of This is Us. (Unpaid sponsorship – ahem NBC!)
The couple then updates their Pittsburgh travel plans. Will Gretchen run the 5K? Or just dodge the question?
Then Coach Andy Aubin from Silver Fox Athletics joins FMC. They get into Andy’s background, how he lost over 120 pounds, got into running, and became the first Executive Director of the Sub-30 Club. Training philosophy and what it is like to coach someone like Gretchen makes for some good conversation. The show goes 92 minutes and it is worth every moment!

Episode 48 starts out with Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch and then continues with more discussion about her 5K training. She is working hard and won’t admit she likes it, but…

The rest of the show is all about their usual shenanigans and some shout-outs to fellow podcasters and a new patron! Give it a listen, laugh, and enjoy!

It’s the FMC One Year Anniversary! To celebrate, we really concentrate on Gretchen’s training and get into how she is doing. Really, it’s almost like Pete isn’t in there for minutes on end – something to really celebrate!
But, eventually, the couple gets into what Pete is up to, including an upcoming race. The usual banter and hilarity really make up the bulk of the episode.
On a serious note, Pete and Gretchen cannot thank everyone enough for listening to any one show, much less 47 of them over the course of a year. They’ve learned a lot and appreciate everyone’s support!

Episode 45 kicks off with a review of Gretchen’s #views training! Then we hear a bit about Pete’s struggle, including a run in with a dog and a tree. He also gives a bit of a preview of Saturday’s half-marathon.
Then the couple interviews fellow Sub-30 Club member, Derek Coulter. Online Derek goes by #txpanhandlerunner and he has a really interesting story.

It’s episode 41 and time for an update on Pete and Gretchen’s 2018 goals. How are they doing? Will they argue? We all know the answer to that last one.
The show follows the usual updates and gives a pretty comprehensive overview of their goals. At least what they can remember.
At the end of the episode, there is an episode of Pete’s new Be Better Today Podcast. It is the longest of all the episodes so far, so if you like that one, you’ll likely love the rest because they are mostly under 2 minutes! Please subscribe to the Be Better Today quickcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Overcast, Pocketcast, Spotify or your favorite podcast app.

Pete and Gretchen make something (?) out of nothing in this special laugh-filled episode. There’s no real topic, but the couple shares plenty about what’s going on.
A new vehicle, an update on Pete’s training – including what is an excuse versus a reason to stop a bad run – and plenty of #viewsfromthecouch with pop culture references. Pete also shares why he never runs with his shirt off.
This one really is like listening in on a conversation with Pete and Gretchen, as scary as that thought really is!
They finish up talking about Pete’s new Be Better Today podcast which is 1- to 3-minute inspirational start to the day. The Be Better Today Podcast can be found on your favorite podcast app.
