Hey everybody! Recently my good friend Bart Yasso was off running the famed Comrades Marathon. He left an absence in his seat at the Pure Fit Radio podcast. Chuck Engle (no relation) asked me if I would give him an interview on the show, and then hang around and fill in for Bart afterward. I happily obliged. He and I talked about Running the Sahara, Running America and how everyone always gets us confused. We got a chance to interview a fellow ultrarunner, Scott Jurek. We talked with Scott about his newly set american 24 running record. All in all, it was a great time and I enjoyed chatting about running.

Hey everybody, it has been a little while since my last post. I have been busy traveling and training. I do want to be sure to announce that I will be at the Running the Sahara screening on May 13th in Pittsburgh, PA. You can purchase tickets for the event at the Nehst studio site here: http://store.nehst.com/rtsscr51310pa.html.

Even for those of you who have seen the movie already, if you are in the area you should come by. I will be there to answer questions and meet everyone in person. That is something you don’t get on the DVD. Also, Nehst studio is arranging for every attendee to get a digital download of the Running the Sahara movie, so you can watch it on your computer.

Anyhow, if you are in Pittsburgh, come by and see Running the Sahara.
