I go over my last week or so of my so-called training and a short trail race. I also mention a little about cycling. 1) The Italian Team;  2) Mark Cavendish.

I am restarting the podcast finally. I think over a year is long enough for a layoff. As usual this podcast is unscripted so I am mostly rambling on again. I ran a couple of short trail races in the last few months and I just got back from Disney World where I ran the Wine & Dine 5K.  A little training update and that is about it for this episode. Hopefully I can keep this going for awhile. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Ron'sUpdate Podcast by Ron Trail is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/].
