This is a solo adventure this week since Bryan is likely somewhere in western PA making his way toward our hometown of Clarks Summit, PA. You can revisit last weeks RFP/UD’s episode for details on that journey, however I am sure we will be revisiting it over the next several months. This week we still wanted to get something out so you just have me, Mike, and no beers today – be back to that next week as well!
For those of you that have been visiting the blog, you will have heard me speak of Dan Harris’ book, “10% Happier…..” I have been pushing a lot of nuggets from it lately and today’s episode is on the same lines. We dig into being aware and/or mindful, what he means, personally, and the thoughts of progress.

The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place.
Bryan & Mike
