Running the Mile Episode 1 - Jim Wing

Summary: Paul opens the show by discussing an interview he heard on This American Life involving a 19 year old pedophile who's never touched a child. He asks the question "Do we, as a society, have to show people with his condition enough compassion to get the help they're asking for before they succumb to their urges?"  Weigh in with your opinion by leaving us a voice mail.  Then Paul is joined via Skype by martial artist and competitive cyclist Jim Wing. The two discuss what motivates a man at age 50 to take up endurance sports like long distance cycling and mountain climbing and endure serious aches and pains for very little recognition. The conversation swings to mixed martial arts and they talk briefly about Jim's son Chris, his MMA and nutrition planning career, and their affect on Jim's current pursuits. The two get back to cycling and discuss the maelstrom that was the BikeRumor.com, and its affects on Jim as well as Jim's own blogging pursuits at Wing's Daily News. Paul asks Jim to weigh in on the subject of pedophilia from the top of the show, then they discuss cyber bullying, Facebook politics and Middle East politics. There were very few stones left untouched at the end of the interview.  Next week we talk to artist Jude Buffum. Links This American Life interview.
