My guest today is a fan of the show that volunteered to join me as I begin to make my way through interviewing all the listeners I can.
We’ve only ever connected over social media and I am excited to hear more about his running story.
I am looking forward to going a few easy miles today with Martin Underwood.

A big thanks to Jess Smith for being the first guest writer of the Run Bloggers Unite! movement. If you’d like to to join the movement, I’d love to partner with you! But without further ado, please enjoy Jess’s awesome addition to my blog, and please check out my guest post on my evolution from non-runner to (annoying?) runner, with some of my tips to help you get started as well, over on her blog.
I’ve spent the last 2 years turning myself from an overweight couch potato into a runner.
Pretty Impressive, Eh?
The question I get asked most often is “How did you start?”
I guess going from being able to jog slowly for about 5 minutes to running a half marathon in less than a year gives me some kind of authority to answer this question.
While keeping in mind that I’m still a fairly new runner, and my previous running experience was limited to a grand 17:00 minute mile in high school, know that I’m not an authority on all things running – these are just some things that worked for me!
