On The Runs 21 - Mike Beeman Part 1 - 45 Boston Marathons and Counting
07/25/22 • 90 min
Sometimes you just happen to get lucky and are standing on the starting line to a local fun race and just happen to be standing next to a local running legend. That is what happened to us a few weeks ago when we met our next guest Mike Beeman.
Mike has currently run 45 straight Boston Marathons and yes that's very impressive, but there is so much more to Mike's story. From walking off the football team, not telling his basketball coach that he planned to run a marathon in the middle of the season, to tearing both his quadricep tendons at the same time and being told he'll never run again.
Part 1 is here and its filled with Boston Stories, next week Part 2 will have some of Mike's most proudest moments as he shares how he was able to use running to help others.
Plus Eric's little girl Adaline makes a quick podcast appearance, Erika wishes Eric happy birthday and Eric starts to build a plan to his next few triathlons.
