Send us a text#48 - Daniel Gallo calls himself a perfectionist in everything he does. He admits that sometimes he gets obsessed about the tasks he performs. He always wants to be the best. In his life it hasn't always been easy to just make it through. Perhaps that's what's given him the roaring fire driving him to always do better, but whatever it is, it's catching! I think you'll enjoy his story to become a great ultra-runner, father and husband. To see more inspirational stories, please go to the website at www.martharunstheworld.com to send me a message or make a suggestion for a future show, please contact me at martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#37 - As the summer fades into Autumn, so does the light fade into shadows. It's that time of year when every runner gets out their nighttime running gear and makes sure that everything still works, the batteries and chargers are still ok or goes out and purchases new gear if necessary. If you're a new runner, you may not know these annual rituals. I'm here to walk you through them. Even seasoned runners may be afraid to venture out alone. There's no reason to if you take precautionary measures! Nighttime is a great time to run! Run smart and you'll find a while different world than daytime running. For information on anything from this episode, go to the website at www.martharunstheworld.com to contact me with comments or ideas for future episodes, email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#35 - There's not many places in the world Ray hasn't run, at least twice or three or four or five times! He's run a 135 mile race in Brazil five times. He's run in Nepal and New Zealand and I'll let him tell you how many times he's done Badwater! He's run races throughout the world. He works hard at his job so he can make the global races happen. He laments that younger runners don't always listen to the advice he gives during races. Isn't that always the case? You'd be smart if you took a few moments and listened though, because he has literally done it all.... he tells us about it in today's episode and it's exciting to hear his love and joy for all of his experiences. And we too can do hard things! So, remember, keep going, even when things get tough, don't give up, keep moving forward!Check out the website www.martharunstheworld.com send all comments and suggestions for future episodes to martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support t

Send us a text#34 - Road marathons are popular. They entice us to go farther than we thought we could. But some of the larger ones are getting so popular that no matter how many times we apply to get in, we don't, leaving us disappointed. Why not try a small, lesser known marathon in 2020? I've gathered 12 small marathons, 1 for every month, from around the world that would be very cool to run in. If I decide to do another marathon, it would most likely be one of these. Also included is a small audio gift for you at the end of the episode. I truly appreciate you all so very much! For all information about the 12 marathons, check out the websites for the race links at www.martharunstheworld.com contact me with any comments or suggestions at martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#32 - Finding one's place in the running world takes time and often, a lot of work. Many people find that running is a great way to discover themselves again. Steve Snyder is a staple in the San Francisco running community. He was one of the first runners I met when I started to seriously get back into running after I became sober. Steve already had  some sober years ahead of me. He was inspirational and his knowledge of the SF running world was invaluable to me. Steve shares come of his running history and what he's up to today. Each one of us has a history and what better way to understand our fellow runners than to hear our stories?
