In podcast episode 408 I compared walking on the treadmill to walking outside and explained that I'd rather walk outside any day of the week. In this episode, I share that I have found another way to look at working out on the treadmill.
I also share about come conversations that I've been having with Father Roderick along with the following statement he recently sent me in an email:
Thanks Cliff, I really appreciate it! I love keeping up to date with
your amazing progress in PABL. Very inspiring! Care to run a marathon
together one of these years? ;-)
I thought he was kidding at first. However, in ongoing conversations, I've found that he's actually quite serious about the two of us running a marathon together. It's really opened my eyes to the possibility of actually running. So much so that I actually have been running this week.
I am not quite at the point where I can effectively run and podcast at the same time, as demonstrated in this episode, but I'm one step closer! Actually enjoying the though of running a marathon now!
Also in this episode, I share some of my favorite quotes from this article article that Maggie Mack posted in the gspn.tv community forum. Here are my favorites:

Also mentions go out to Mary S, and Patti B. We had audio feedback from Frank C. and Wayne Henderson.
To wrap things up I shared some recent #PABL statements from Twitter:
