Episode 142 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 14
This week, Dave doesn’t leave you hanging until the end to find out what race he is now signed up for. Back to Chicago? Marine Corps? Philly? Or…
Then Pete and Dave somehow slip into a walk down baseball’s memory lane. They enjoyed it. Will you?
Then the bulk of the rest of the show is the normal update from the guys. How’s training? Food? Alcohol? Are there enough question marks in these show notes? Yep, so let’s just on with it.

Lots going on, so on with the show!

Episode 140 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 12
Did you miss Pete and Dave? No? Whatever, they are back anyway!
Why did the guys not record last week? What’s the double update?
Before you get started, the guys had to slap an “E” on this one because Pete throws a couple of f-bombs. It happens. He apologizes for it upfront, so hopefully, that helps.
Dave lets us in on what's good and bad, as well as the start of his training plan from Team in Training. Pete gives a ton of insights into what has him confronting more demons. Race recap, weight loss talk, healthcare system woes, the pitfalls of navigating mental health, and much more. Lots going on, so on with the show!
Don’t forget to take a look at Dave’s fundraising page and give a few bucks if you can.

Episode 138 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 10
Another week and another attempt to clarify statements. Hey, it’s a podcast and if there are comments, people are listening, and Pete and Dave will take that all day!
The episode has a lot of tangents. Maybe some fitness talk. A little about food. Pete has a lot to say about his mental health, body image, and how running doesn’t always help.
Dave lets us in more on how his fitness is coming along and about his training/race strategy. Both of the guys are definitely moving forward. That’s a positive!
Don’t forget to take a look at Dave’s fundraising page and give a few bucks if you can.

Episode 137 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 9
Pete and Dave are back with another week of health, fitness, and dietary chatter!
The episode kicks off with Dave filling us in on a decent week, even if today is only a C+ for him. The TNT training plan for Chicago is only a few weeks away from starting. With 28 weeks until the race, how is Dave doing?
Pete recaps his training week, including some weather challenges. How does he get out there when the weather is not great? How is the time in Omaha? To no one’s surprise, Pete and Gretchen are eating their way through that underrated town.
Finally, the guys talk about some feedback they got from Susan. Her take on diet and exercise prompts a really good discussion to end the show.
Don’t forget to take a look at Dave’s fundraising page and give a few bucks if you can.

Episode 136 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 8
Who was it that wanted longer episodes? Be careful what you wish for!
Pete and Dave dig into the last week with a full review after Pete reminisces about McRunner and Dave recaps his weekend at a meet with his son and wife.
Then there is a lot of training talk. A lot. Some common ground. And at the end, we find one of Pete’s buttons.
In between, they do discuss some more on nutrition spurred by last week’s episode. The guys both appreciate the honest and open talk and can’t wait for more of it.
As a reminder, there are still two slots left for a $300 donation to your charity if you decide to join FMC at the 2022 Chicago Marathon. With 29 weeks until the race, there is plenty of time to train and make an impact!

Episode 135 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 7
How’s the week been for Pete and Dave? Did Dave ever get his labs back? Are they still building that base in training?
All of those questions, and much more, get addressed in this big 1:30+ episode. The guys start out with a little track and field indoor national championship discussion. Spoiler – Braedon kicked some butt out there!
Dave gives us those results and an overall health update. Then Pete dominates the bulk of the episode with some diabetes and injury talk. Who knows how many times the guys either misspoke or made questionable blanket statements? But, as always, they have a great discussion and both feel much better afterward.
Don’t forget to take a look at Dave’s fundraising page and give a few bucks if you can.

Episode 134 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 6
Pete and Dave are back with another update with 31 weeks to go until they line up at the start of the 2022 Chicago Marathon.
Pete kicks it off with an update on a challenging week. Did he overcome the challenges to get his runs in? How was his nutrition? Overall health? You know he has plenty to fill you in on.
Dave then tells us all about his tale of two weeks. What went right and what went wrong? The biggest story is really Dave’s return to the doctor after a few years. He’s hoping that telling the full story helps just one other person realize it is time to check on their health.
Don’t forget to take a look at Dave’s fundraising page and give a few bucks if you can.
