Hi! Hope you are doing well. We recorded a podcast. :-) In it, we talk about why we haven’t recorded one recently, what we’ve been up to, what our new plans and things and life have us into (hint, injuries, and school, and shoes, and special projects) and then of course, we talk about food! Thank you for listening. Support Hamstrings and Heartstrings: Running Talk with Chris and Ellie

It’s balmy as heck outside. Ellie is working hard and runnin’ real fast and Chris ran the Muddy Sneaker course (12.5 miles, lots of feets up and down!) One of us turned 29... and didn’t even have the decency to share the occasion with the other! Are you Race Fit? What is Race Fit? You wanna race? Depends on who’s asking. Thought so. :-) Also, how hard is it to make a few cups of rice?! For real. And avocados are sauce now. Support Hamstrings and Heartstrings: Running Talk with Chris and Ellie

It is the spookiest time of the year... so what better time than now for scary running stories? Chris and Ellie risk life and limb... and their restful slumber to share some of their skeeeery moments running.

Ellie has a bee in her bonnet. She altered a workout and her scones aren't the greatest. And she's fine with it. This week, we talk about being mediocre. Or being okay with being mediocre. Or giving ourselves some space while figuring out what mediocre is. Regardless, we're pretty okay with okay, but also with okay with better.

Chris helped crew Daven Oskvig on his Northville-Placid Trail FKT and Ellie has more running friends! It’s getting darker earlier, the leaves are falling and the weather is changing so we figure it may be a good time for a brief winter gear chat. Oh yeah, plus Apples and Scones!

Running is really great (and life is busy). We're gettin' at it good! Ellie solicited running confessions from listeners and she is gonna read those confessions... but also, we share some of our own.

Okay... it’s been 4 weeks. Ellie is sorry for that. Chris isn’t quite sure how he feels about the whole thing. There’s a race this weekend. Neither of us are sure how we feel about that.

Chris and Ellie are back! We recorded a little late this week since Ellie's booking agent booked her PR tour over our regular recording spot. But that's cool because it gave our running chat a little bit more time to marinate. (You should check her out on Ridge Runners Podcast) We chat about how running things are going well for us, give some supporter shout-outs, and then we talk about those little things about running that make us feel really, really great.
