#83 I'll Run With You

10/17/22 • 52 min

Chris tells us all about his CHRIS DAY. From having a "blast" to the trunk or treat where he heard super funny jokes, it was a great day for him indeed. Deanna then takes us to Cincinnati, Ohio where we meet Mike Fremont, a world record holder (a few times over) who took up running as a way to cope with a devastating loss. His story will leave you mouth-wide-open as you hear how his health choices not only saved his own life, but has inspired others in his community, as well. Deanna shares some valuable advice on how others can "Be Like Mike", and how if you are looking to take up running, he'll be the first to say "I'LL RUN WITH YOU".

#82 Shoulder To Shoulder

Deanna has Chris choose which "Story Time" he thinks our Neighbors would want to hear - Deanna Walks Through a Marsh or Deanna Runs for a Plane Twice. He chose the former and she proceeds to go into detail on how "Chasing Sunsets" got her into a tricky predicament. Snakes, bacteria, and leeches, OH MY! Chris shares shocking mental health statistics about senior citizens, especially older men. From there, we travel to Barnsley, England where we meet Phillip Jackson, a man who didn't want to spend his golden years by himself. He wanted to form connections and camaraderie with other men and knew just the way to do it. Learn all about how The Barnsley Men’s Shed is changing lives for the better and giving men - and women - purpose and helping to forge lasting bonds with each other, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER.
