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.

Episode 141 – FMC Runs Chicago: Chapter 13
Last week, Pete and Dave left you with a bit of a cliffhanger. Would Dave run Chicago or change to Marine Corps? Or something else? This week, that question is answered. At the end of the podcast.

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 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.
