play

01/11/11 • -1 min

This is part 2 of a very special episode of 4 Feet Running with Nik and Dan! Use this one for a long run, folks, because it's gonna take a while. In this episode:
- Nik and Dan drive from St. Augustine, Florida, to infinity and beyond
- Infinity and beyond is located at Kennedy Space Center, apparently
- They reflect on the great time they had at the Mojo Loco 50-mile-ish relay in December
- Dan gets fed up with back-of-the-pack gripes and tries to run faster
- Nik overcomes her various dietary quirks at the Philadelphia Marathon
- A vague at their plans and goals for 2011, mostly vague because they're only sort of sure what they are at the moment
- Nik gets indoctrinated into The Cult of Crossfit
- Speaking of cults, they see an Amish person (don't worry, Amish people won't see this because it's on a computer)
- Apologies for the sound quality -- moving cars are noisy to record in
Thanks for listening, and enjoy!

It's Rocky II: Rock Harder as 4 Feet Running takes on the 2009 Philadelphia Marathon and Half-Marathon! This episode:
- Nik is raring to run the full marathon (her sixth) and Dan shrugs toward the half-marathon (his second)
- They stop by the expo for some race swag first
- Due to technical difficulties, there's no live race-day audio, but that doesn't mean there's no drama...
- Dan almost burns down their hotel room and/or almost floods it, all because of green beans
- Nik almost misses the marathon entirely, possibly because of cheese
- Then they can't find their corrals, the race announcer forgets about some runners, Nik and Dan skip the porta-potties, a pacer gets floored, and Dan accidentally goes 100% caffeine cold-turkey (which is BAD)
- Nik is plagued by hunger and thirst in the wilds of Fairmount Park
- Her rationale for eating and drinking all kinds of stuff she shouldn't: "How much more sick could I possibly get?"
- Dan sees nudity
- He runs with his eyes shut in the hopes of taking a brief nap on the road
- Nik continues her PR domination, and Dan just misses it because of a pit-stop
- Uncle Pfitzy is definitely her favorite -- Uncle Higgy's kicked out of the family
- Lousy advice on where to run in Massachusetts and where to eat in Philadelphia
