Two Gomers Run a Half Marathon (TGRAHM)
Summary: Join two guys who have no experience running a half-marathon as they train to...well, run a half-marathon. With only twenty-one weeks, Steven and Anthony will learn all they can about running from surfing the web, believing suspect hearsay, and simply by trying something they've never tried before: running really really far distances no human should ever run.Each week they share how the training from the previous week went, some tips they've either discovered through experience or that they've gleaned off the internet, Songs to Run To, and any other topics that might come up along the way.This podcast might inspire you to stay in shape. Or challenge you to do something you've never done before. Or take up another twenty minutes of your morning commute. Whatever. Just enjoy it for what it is - two guys who need any motivation they can get to actually do something no one thinks they can do.!

We Did it!!! Awwes Yeah!!
It's the day before the race, and the Gomers give some final thoughts on what they're expecting tomorrow. Plus, three special guests, several screams, and our very first (and probably last) sports story! Join us next week for a post-race review, and the big announcement about what's next for the Gomers. Happy Running!!
It's the Gomer's last full-length podcast before the race, and they spend time discussing their nervousness, fears, and feelings. Fortunately, they have a certain Canadian singer to get them through. Also, what does the next week look like for them? You'll find out at about the same time they do, since they're talking about it for the first time on this episode. And all the regular features: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Runner's Corner, Songs to Run To, and the Monday Survey. This Week's Survey: It might sound self-indulgent, but we need your encouragement! Send us encouragements, tips, prayers, hopes, anything to get us through this weekend. We hope to have them with us to keep us going in the race. You could be a part of what helps the Gomers finish well!!
An abbreviated episode this week, letting you know that we're still running and podcasting and well, alive. We're getting nervous, and then building eachother up, and then feeling nervous. The cycle of an inner-monologue and outer dialogue. Monday Survey for this week: Do you have any advice for us for race day/ pre-race day in regards to food or anything else. Help us!!
Episode 16 video - 4 Weeks to the Race The Gomers finally run together, make some fun videos, and all in all have a great Christmas and New Years. And all the regular stuff: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Gomer's Tips, and a somewhat disappointing Runner's Corner. And the Monday Survey (really Thursday Survey!) this week: Should the Gomers run together at the race, or go at their own pace and listen to music? What do you recommend? !
Episode 16 audio - 4 Weeks to the Race (This is the audio extraction of the video podcast, some parts might not make sense w/out the video, but enjoy anyways!!). The Gomers finally run together, make some fun videos, and all in all have a great Christmas and New Years. And all the regular stuff: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Gomer's Tips, and a somewhat disappointing Runner's Corner. And the Monday Survey (really Thursday Survey!) this week: Should the Gomers run together at the race, or go at their own pace and listen to music? What do you recommend? !
It's the third and final Christmas special, and the Gomers get a little sentimental. Steven's in Wisconsin, learning about what cold weather can do to the nether-regions, and Anthony's still in Florida, running farther than he ever has before. Also, we got some unbelievable feedback from the listeners, and our first celebrity guest. It's a Christmas miracle for sure! Next week is our special New Year's episode, so the Monday Survey has to do with your resolutions. What are they? Are they related to getting in shape? And have the Gomer's influenced you at all? We're just looking to stroke our egos here! Happy Running, and Merry Christmas!!
In this second of three Christmas specials, the Gomers talk about running on ice, going back to the treadmill for a change, and being motivated by their own motivation. Plus, a special guest joins them in the Christmas Corner to talk about Christmas movies and fried chicken. And all the regular stuff: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Gomer's Tips, and a somewhat disappointing Runner's Corner. And the Monday Survey (really Thursday Survey!) this week: What are your Christmas Traditions? Oh, and feel free to call or email us your 20 second audio greetings! Your voice could be heard by literally dozens of people! !
It's the first of three special Christmas Specials, and the Gomers are feeling festive. Well, as festive as they can with all the palm trees and cactuses around. Join them as they discuss the challenges of training for a half-marathon during the holiday season, the joys of a good hot bath, and the dangers of a four-piece Chicken McNuggets right before bed. And, of course, all the regular features: Listener Feedback, The Week in Review, Gomer's Tips of the Week, Runner's Corner, and the Monday Survey. Oh, and you won't want to miss the other stellar section, The Christmas Corner. Trust us, it's awesome. Monday Survey of the Week: What's your favorite Christmas movie? TV Specials are ok, too.!
We're gone, just too mad. Ha, I (gomer #1) didn't have time to finish the episode yet but didn't want to leave our listener that actually is up to the minute on this dealy high and dry! Enjoy this fun Christmas Song, and see you soon!!
It's a Gomer Rewind! In this special Thanksgiving episode, the Gomers take you back in time to listen to their very first podcasting effort. It's a little rough, a little random, and contains some outright lies, but it's fun to hear how it all began. Right? Join us next week for our regular show - with a couple new twists. Oh, and this week's Monday Survey: We want to hear your Christmas Songs to Run To (or albums). Or your favorite Christmas songs, period. And how cold is it where you are? Because where we are, it's kind of hard to get into the Christmas spirit... P.S. There’s some controversy a brewin’. Anthony is ticked because Steven decided to listen to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies way before Thanksgiving. Should he forgive him and move on, or should the podcast end like this?!!!
Steven (Self proclaimed Gomer #2) didn't get around to writing a description for this episode so I, Anthony (Gomer #1 by default) am forced to do so. It's the one thing I ask him to do, gosh. Rotfl, hopefully this'll get him to write it next time. I am watching Little People Big World right now (those Roloffs are crazy) and feverishly editing this podcast. I hope you enjoy it. Oh, I guess I should describe this dealy. All the regular features: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Gomer's Tips, Songs to Run To, and the Monday Survey. Happy Running! And how about that Monday Survey? Eh, we'll do one next week as a part of our "Gomer Rewind" special episode next week! Take the week off and just enjoy listening, but please feel free to email or comment something hilarious or whatever. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
The Gomers are at the midpoint (or doughy mid-section) of their training, and they're feeling it. Join them this week for a very candid Week in Review from Anthony, balanced nicely by some of the only running/pooping poetry you may ever hear. And the Gomers are finally manning up and signing up for the Half-Marathon - but will they be able to click "Confirm" on the registration? You'll have to listen to find out. And don't forget all the regular features: Listener Feedback, Week in Review, Gomer's Tips, Songs to Run To, and the Monday Survey. Happy Running! Oops, how can we forget our Monday Survey? Do you have any great motivational sayings/running slogans/ old cross-country t-shirts, movie quotes, new-age warm and fuzzy dealies to share? How do you get pumped and motivated when down in the dumps?!
Does the podcast keep getting longer? Anyone? Bueller? Well, that's because SO much is happening - and SO many people are listening and responding! This week the Gomers are getting close to the mid-point in their training, running longer distances than ever and experiencing all sorts of new things because of it. Also, Tony tries his first Tempo run...and we could have a Code Brown on our hands (or pants). You'll have to listen to find out what happens. Check out all our regular features: Listener Feedback, The Week in Review, Runner's Corner, Songs to Run To, and a very special Monday Survey section with encouragements galore...well, mostly. This week's Monday Survey: We need feedback about what should be on our shirts for the marathon. Send us a design, or just an idea. And of course, we love any thoughts other on running, training, or your Songs to Run To. !
Another longer one, oops we broke the 40 min. mark. The question is: Who's chafing? The Gomers are, as this week they really start going the distance...and realize that cotton really is their enemy. That's the kind of top-notch running commentary you've come to expect from an iTunes New and Notable Health Podcast. Right? And, of course, all the regular features are here: The Week in Review, Listener Feedback, The Runner's Corner, and our second Monday Survey/Songs To Run To Hybrid. The Monday Survey for this week: We need your encouragement. We're about to make the "point-of-no-return" step - registering for the Half Marathon and buying Tony's ticket to Phoenix. We're freaked out about it. We need you to tell us to do it.!
