RFP Podcast Episode #217 – Ultra Dad’s Session #27 – Falling to Pieces

This was a fun one. We got caught up on things, had a couple early laughs, got an update on the Shane migration back east, and discussed some USA Wrestling Olympic stuff. Exciting times but we circled the wagons, so to speak, on how to practice not falling apart when things go to pieces. Some good belly laughs during today’s episode folks so sit back and enjoy. Words of caution, thee may have been some PA slang that came out 😊! Speaking of enjoying, during today’s show, Bryan gulped down Eddyline Brewing’s Summer in the Citra, while Mike went with the solid Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. A slight difference from the Big Little Thing Double IPA he may have been drinking at a soccer game last weekend 😊.

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
