I’m going to try something different here…at least something different for me. I’m going to use both science and psychology to achieve an important goal of mine and I’m going to bring you along for the run.
Here's wishing you a very happy 2022
Just think about it.
On a day where everyone is thankful, I am appreciative.
I’ve never forgotten you!
Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! - Dr. Suess
Right now, I’m just some guy from Boston, and that’s okay...but when next we meet I’ll be bringing an old friend...someone you well know whose name no longer defines him, but celebrates the short yet reasonably long duration of our existence. Life is short, but it should be long enough. I am Steve Runner.

Indiana Jones Walker was my best friend. A lemon beagle born on March 28th, 2009 in Swansea MA to Joey and Willow, Indy lived a great life and was deeply loved by his family: Lynn, Eva and Steve.

One the best friends I've ever had is sick. I'm going to spend the summer making his life awesome.

On the next January 25th, if you can find a Burns Supper being hosted near you: I highly recommend that attend. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the life of the Ploughman Bard.
Just a quick catch up here to let you know I'm here and livin' large.
Tim Doiron was one of the first fellow runners and listener to this podcast who I actually ran with in person. Here was a guy who knew pretty much everything about me: a natural by-product of the new podcasting phenomenon, and our friendship went on from there: running races together, running Mojo Loco’s, and attending baseball games here in in the city of Wooostah.
They found something. It made for a bad weekend.
Checking in, as I am want to do, after some time.
To quote Judy Collins: “Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air, Where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns” On behalf of my Dad and the woman who gave my siblings and I life, who in turn gave life to her grandchildren…We want to thank you with all of our hearts for being here today. I’m Stephen John, Loretta’s first child and like you, I will always miss her. But then there’s this weird thing, and I know my Mom was keenly aware of this: “the phenomenon of...
