RFP Podcast Episode #195 – Ultra Dad’s Session #6 – “Be Moved”

It didn’t take us long to transition to weekly Ultra Dad’s podcasts. We will see how these goes with our schedules but hope to get these out each week moving forward. This week we preview an upcoming charity event we are participating in virtually. It being October and breast cancer awareness month, Aravaipa Running is putting on the “Be Moved” Virtual Race. We go into what prompted us to sign up and our plan going into things starting this weekend. https://www.aravaiparunning.com/be-moved/ Bryan also gives us a wrap up on his first season coaching cross country for the South Park Middle Schoolers. Tune in for that because it was quite special, I had goose bumps from his story. Always a good thing to have a little Bryan Shane sprinkled into your life 😊. We did this while enjoying SKA Brewing’s Citrus IPA & Coors Brewing’s Banquet Beer (aka – The Yellow Jacket). So sit back, grab a cold one, and enjoy the journey. How’d we get here? 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
