"Just want to let you know that this is a repeat episode from November 2021, alas Demi and I are not at Rancho la puerta as we were when we recorded this very fun episode. We'll be back with a new episode of AMR answers. Two weeks from today. Enjoy. Welcome to AMR answers. This is Sarah Bowen Shea. And this is Demi McDowell, and I'm sitting neatly with cerebellum Shay. We are not recording in our respective hometowns. We are south of the border at Rancho la puerta and it is sorry don't mean to make you feel envious, but it is heaven on earth and sitting in my casita and so yeah, we just decided that we need, well, we need to do a show because Alex is getting our producers getting married this weekend so we need to do it ahead of time, but we're here at the ranch so Demi you suggest that you had a very clever idea. Our idea is today after we do a little intro chit chat, but not too much because we don't want to give away the lead. Is ask each other questions just because we love the questions that people send in, but sometimes I feel like I just kind of want to dig deeper into the SBS so I'll see what's there, you know? A black box. So we have been having a blast here and as you know, I have a new athletic passion. You do, you do. Well, I can't give it to you. You gotta give it 'cause the way that you say it is gonna be much more exciting, excited than I would say it. I'm addicted to pickleball. Like addicted with a capital a capital ADD. So Demi, you've played pickleball before here at the ranch. I have, yep. And I have regretted in the past we've only been here for a while I've only been here for four days, and there was never enough time. I never found the time. Never made the time to play pickleball and that was my vow to myself was I was gonna play pickleball, so day one played pickleball, hook, line, sinker. Yeah. And she hasn't left the court yet. She's still there. I mean, seriously, it's okay, one of our guests who is with us here, she's from Bentonville.

"Welcome to AMR trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother runner. And I'm Sarah westerner Flynn and Demi, can you believe it's already December? No, I can't, I can't. I'm already like, oh, don't even get me started. I'm shopping. I always think it's gonna take less time than it actually does, right? I'm like, oh, because I can just order it all, and then not leave my desk, but you still have to go through everything, and make a list and check it twice, and I don't have four kids. I actually just have a family of four and we draw each other's names now. That's what we've decided to do. As a doctor. Yeah. I would say just saying to my husband, a couple hours ago. This is like my always, I go into this Grinch mode, like after Thanksgiving before, I eventually get into the Christmas spirit 100%, but I always have a little bit of a Grinch mode where I'm like, why are people putting their Christmas trees up? Can't we just celebrate Thanksgiving. And then I'm like, but I don't have my Christmas tree up. So I'm behind on the times already, and I start like any little panicked, and then Mark was like, you know, right today actually is November 30th. It's not quite December yet as we're recording this. And he's like, it's not even December, chill out. And I was like, okay. But yeah, and also I've been doing a lot of purging at my house of stuff, and I'm like, yeah, it's going to get filled up again with more stuff because with four kids you do end up with accumulating a lot on Christmas, even if you don't really need it. They get it. So I hear you. I hear you. Next time we record, I'm sure I'll be all of my Christmas spirit. My holiday spirit will be there. Not there yet. Yeah, exactly. Well, so how did that turkey track go off speaking of Thanksgiving? Speaking of holidays, that was amazing. It was so fun. Everybody was on board. I ran out to the dollar store per Michelle. I actually, she said party city, our guests from the last podcast. She was like, get the little turkey hats from party city. And then as we were driving towards where we ended up staying, there wasn't any party city, so I went to the dollar store. And they had nothing. Of course everything was Christmas there. Didn't have the Jews. We didn't like zhuzh it up. As far as spirit and enthusiasm went, we were there. Everybody came out for it. So yeah, we had a big crowd. And I had about maybe ten, ten of us ran the full 5 K and then everybody else walked, but they were cheering for us, and the course I winged it. And I just kind of looked at my watch and saw a mile and a half or whatever it was, 1.55, we turned around, and then on Strava, I looked at it, and it's the shape of like a beak. So I called it the turkey beak 5 K oh, I love it. Yeah, I didn't realize we were running in kind of a triangular. So I made a little real and it got everybody on there and now everybody's like, we have to do this from now on. So I think we did start a tradition. So I'm very happy about that. Oh, that's awesome. Good. Well, that's good. Well, you definitely celebrated Thanksgiving in style. So that's great. Yeah. How was your Thanksgiving?

"Welcome to AMR answers this is Sarah Bowen Shea. And this is Demi McDowell, and right now I'm playing the statue game with my microphone setup. So if anything moves and the sound quality changes, know that something happened. Of course, now I'm just going to laugh like a moron. I know, I know. So it's really the issue is that I have this little you called it an atom, which is the brand name Sarah, but it's like, it's like a dingle bob that attaches from my computer to my microphone. I have to plug the microphone in there, and then that goes into the computer. Because heaven forbid, Apple make anything that doesn't connect directly. Yeah. Who would want that? Who would want that? Anyway, so this one's been bouncing around in the bottom of my bags now and then and of course Ben's been using it in bouncing around. I'm sure around the bottom of his bag. So anyway, it's time to put dingle bob on my Christmas list, and we're gonna hope that we can get through this podcast. Oh my goodness. Oh, well, I am excited that next week, or as people the day that people listen to this episode, I get to fly to Austin, Texas, for work. Oh, it's your favorite spot. You already reserved swimming holes? Oh my goodness. And that swimming holes is exactly the right term Dimitri because that one has a pool as quality, but there are two spring fed places to swim. So that the water temperature is consistent year round and last year I swam at one called deep eddy, and it is like a pool. It is, I had support concrete, but the other one looks like a pond or a Lake. I think it's almost a rectangular shaped Lake, so obviously it is human made. But oh my gosh. Exactly a hundred meters. Well, that was the thing last year. I didn't when I swam at deep Eddie. I didn't have my Coro's GPS with me. And so I just kind of swam until I felt like I swum enough. Oh, it turns out that it is a hundred feet across. Is that right? It's a hundred. I think it's a hundred feet across. Yes, that's what it is. Okay. So it was just, I don't know. It's an unusual distance, but I am just so excited because to me swimming outside in December is truly my idea of heaven. Well, yeah, so it's open. I mean, it's not too cold enough to be closed. Oh, it's open year round. If you're hearty enough, if you're hearty inhale enough to do it, you can go swim in there. I already inhale. You are hardy inhale enough, Sarah. I give you that approval. Thank you. Well, and I'm just curious, what is the bottom in a man made?

Maybe I need to order that for myself because I will never wear it because I keep very fast company and you know a lot of people I run with have been there done that with Boston, but I think I'd wear it around the house for sure.

"I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother runner. And today we're mixing things up a little bit. We're taking our heartbeat and our breath way down. And we are going to talk about meditation. But first of all, just to let you know, the role of my co host Sarah wasner Flynn is being played today by the lovely Adrienne martini, who you guys know from being around AMR for many years. We love her. Welcome, Adrienne. B2B, your Timothy. Awesome. You guys may remember a few months ago, 8 and I did a self imposed 30 day foam rolling challenge. We took a few months off to catch our breath, and then we set about at another 30 day challenge and this time we are focusing on the breath or meditation. But we're just not going to talk about how riveting it was for us personally to focus on or inhales and exhales. We're also going to explore the basics and benefits of meditation. If you're like me, you know that it's something helpful to do for yourself. But you may be a little bit confused or wondering where to get started. Helping us sit still today is Ann van der watter, a life and business coach, health and wellness teacher and spiritual guide who describes her home base as quote unquote super nomadic, which is really fun. She's actually in Hawaii right now. So little jealous of that. But I actually met Anne last year at Rancho la puerta, where she's been a teacher since 2018. I went to a meditation class with a friend who had tried to create the meditation practice at home, but never could really find her groove or even feel like she was doing it right. And after Anne's class, she was beaming and came up to me and said, oh my gosh, that was so great. I finally got it. And I know that meditation isn't something you get, but I think that you're finally felt like she got to be able to be in her body more than she had been in the past.

"Welcome to AMR trains a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother rudder. And I'm Sarah westerner Flynn, your co host Timothy. And I'm just happy to be here with you today. It is now August. I can't believe it. Summer is flying by. I know, I know when your kiddos start school. They start August 29th, but today was the official start of the high school sports season. Oh, and that's right. And you were a cross country coach, right? Yeah. I started cross country and my son who's starting high school. This fall is also started cross country. So we both had our first day of practice this morning. Are you as official coach? Do you be like, I don't know if he's eating that. Your coat? No, you wouldn't say that. But your coach said, and his coach is also Sarah, because there's a million sarahs who run. It's just your name is Sarah, you're likely a runner. So he goes to a different school than where I coach. So there's some separation. That's good. Yeah, his coach Sarah sent out a really nice reminder of everything that he should have for the first day. So I didn't have to really think I just said, read your email, make sure you have everything coach Sarah says, and he went and I went and I went to pick him up and afterwards, and he loved it. He was really excited for it. So good. Did you compare? Did you compare notes about your first date? Workout notes that you guys do the same thing? Well, it's funny because we had two kids who puked this word. Oh jeez. Holy cow. And then his coaches, yeah, somebody puke today. I was like, okay, good. So it wasn't just allowed to work them hard in the beginning because our county has a very strict heat policy. So when it's hot, you really have to take it easy, let them have it all the water breaks they want. And so I don't know how our kids throw up other than breakfast, which is funny because that's kind of what we'll be talking about today. I know, I know. It's getting back to it too, and the heat and all of that. I mean, and I think I'm sure that your athletes did exactly what you asked and ran over the summer, Sarah, exactly the amount you wanted them to. But also you get into a group situation and you might push yourself a little bit harder than you would have on your own, right? I think that was a case. And they're all young. We had a bunch of freshmen who probably have never run that much before. And so I was like, all right, drink. Take it easy. Please come back. Don't think this is gonna happen every time a single time you go for a ride. Do you have to like talk to do you have to talk to the parents when they throw up or know? Now, most of them, I think we're pretty embarrassed and they just left. They kind of like slunk away because it was at the end of practice. So we just have to make sure that they're okay, follow up. Remind them to hydrate. And so that, you know, a lot of things go into that nauseousness, I guess. And I just think for their part. It was something new for their body to handle. And hopefully, they'll be better tomorrow, but the practice was 30 minutes of running, but they could stop whenever they wanted to. And they could go at any pace they wanted to. So it's not like we work them that hard. And so I'm curious, does your team and your son's team do you guys ever, are you ever at the same meet?

"Welcome to AMR training, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother runner. And I'm Sarah westerner Flynn, co host of AMR trains. Joining you on a sunny and human July afternoon from Maryland. It looks as though you are in a much less muggy location right now. Yes, yes, in fact, I am Sarah. I am often steamboat springs, Colorado, which is pretty much Nirvana in my mind. Especially in the summertime, I love the mountains in the summertime. And I think it's probably like 75, 80 today, zero humidity, Colorado does not have humidity. We do have a lot of dryness, but we have wildfires, but we don't have humidity. We don't have bugs. It's beautiful. The wildflowers are blooming. My mom and I went on. My parents rented a place of hit. And my parents live in Arizona, full time. So they're escaping the crazy, crazy heat in Arizona, and some of my mom and I went on a hike this morning and saw some beautiful flowers, and it's just, it's just a special special place in my mind. Oh yeah, I bet I went out to breckinridge a couple years ago in this time of year, and I was like, oh my gosh, why don't we live here? It's so beautiful. You're so clean and crisp and then you come home to this oppressive heat of the east coast, but I've lived here. So I know no different as far as summers go. But I do know it. It's better in other parts of the country. Yeah, well it's a little known secret. It's a little maybe it's not a little known secret, but I mean, I have to say, if you have plans to come to Colorado and you're not a skier, ski resorts, the mountains in the summertime are just, I think they're better than the wintertime. I'm not a big skier anymore. So I love it. There's hiking.

I'm happy to be back with you, Demi. I know I'm glad to be reunited. It feels so good. And this podcast is coming out two days after the official Father's Day. But you catch the pro runners like Ryan Hall or the pro dads, I guess, celeb pro runners. When you can get them. But I wanted to take a moment because you recently put up a post about your dad and how he got you running. I think you put it up for national runners day. And I want you to tell that story and kind of talk about how he inspired you, how he got you running. That was sure. Well, my dad is a Brooklyn boy born and raised and never did any kind of running. He always jokes that he was a professional stick ball player. So he played in the streets and you know, he's always into ball sports and had four girls, and we were like, you know, entertained him with the idea of maybe we would play basketball and softball, but never really good. And then I have three older sisters and two of them got into running..

"AMR answers. This is Sarah Bowen Shea. And this is Demi McDowell hanging in Denver. I'm going to emphasize all the D's today. Okay. So remind me to do that in the middle of the podcast. Don't do. Oh my goodness so damn, I hear you took an epic bike ride with your beloved husband green. I did take an epic bike ride with my beloved husband grant. I did that about a week ago. We did a ride called the copper triangle. It's usually an organized race or not a race, I should say it's an incident event. It's like a century. And apparently, I did it. I knew I'd done it once before. Well, let me add a fold. So grant was like, I really want to do the copper triangle. Obviously, it was canceled this year. So he was just going to go ride the route mid September because leaves will be changing. It's beautiful up in the mountains, blah, blah, blah. And I said, oh, well, I think I want to do that with you, even though he's been training a lot harder than I am and he goes. Last time you did that, Demi said you never needed to do that again. I said, no, I did. Oh, okay. But I did that in 2008. So that was like, you know, and you've had plenty of time to change your mind. You're a new woman. I don't even remember saying that. So yeah, so we basically went up and did this ride, and it is everything that grant said it. It's lovely, and it is very hard. We got up so you start in copper mountain. And you ride up to leadville and then you take a turn and you go down to it's called midterm. It's right near veil. And then you take another turn and you start unveil and you climb back up to copper..

"And this is Demi McDowell. Greetings bring in some parts of the country and hailing and others, right? Sarah. Oh my gosh, it's been a hell of a week here. Of course. Just repeated times a day of hail, oh, and then 30 minutes later, it'll be sunny. And 45 minutes later, more hail. I can't make up its mind. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, but I went indoors for a workout. I went to the gym for the first time in two months, did that yesterday to work out with my trainer and occasional co host, Brittany Williams, and wow. Wow, will that go? Our muscles pop right back out. Oh gosh, no. Oh my gosh, I feel like turned into like the Pillsbury dough girl during this too much off. It is not good. Oh, and you'll get it back quickly. You really will. That first time back, it never feels good. It never feels good. And if that money better. Okay, good. Okay, so but I was just so pleased in the number of people there were like, oh, Sarah, I haven't seen you in a while. Good to see you. I'm like, aw, let me miss me. Oh, good. Are you sore today? No, thankfully, and when I'd woken up yesterday morning, the kind of middle left side of my back hurt, and that was completely new because despite this being a bulging disc that I have, my back really doesn't hurt. And it's a nerve pain that was radiating down my legs and into my hips and so anyway, I'm like, well, that's new. And then when I got back from the gym definitely, it was a little more pronounced. I'm like, oh God, oh God, do I have something new? Do I have something new? And then by, I don't know, two hours later, I just felt dynamite. And then the morning I was all set to go swimming and I'm like, I think it looks kind of nice ish out. I'll go for a walk instead. So went for a walk and maybe four or 5 times. I threw in 20 steps of running. Whoo. All right..

"Welcome to AMR trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother runner. And I'm Sarah Watson, Flynn, and in many, I'm so happy to say that I went back to the trails after my breaking my foot as everybody's heard about by now. I raced on Sunday a supposedly ten K trail run, which was actually like 7 miles. Oh, that is the worst that I gotta say. Well, this is a new company that I guess the director is known for his extra miles. I always think like maybe he'll be off in the other direction because they're like, oh yeah, Andy's always off in his mileage just because it's through the Woods. I'm like, oh, maybe it'll be 5.9 instead of 6.2. And no, it was like 6.8 almost 7. You know, but whatever. It's fun. I can't complain. No, I know. It's hard to complain, but it is, but there is a mentality around. I mean, I remember I did a long, long time ago, a race was women for women international, right? It was this very cool nonprofit that supports women in Africa. I can't remember. I still have this shirt. I love the shirts. And I was moved to make a big donation that day, but don't ask me for specifics, but I remember that it was like two miles longer than an advertised and I was like, Timothy, get out of your pathetic self complaining about this as you're trying to benefit impoverished women over in third world countries. But it is, but it's hard because when you think that I'm going to be done at 6.2, especially someone like yourself, you pace yourself to be done at 6.2, right? Well, with trails, the beauty of it is that I could care less about my pace, because I had to slow down. There was lots of mud. I did fall in the mud..

"Our answers. This is Sarah Bowen Shea. And this is Demi McDowell hanging out in Denver. Sarah, Sarah, how's we need to update on the old bad the groin? What's going on? The bulging disc turns out. And so after more than a month of running, no pickleball, no strength training. Very little walking, very, very little walking. And when I did, it was not a pretty sight to see my stride was super duper hinky. So anyway, then I lifted too much merch on Monday evening for the love of the run swag. And so then I was on Monday night and Tuesday. It seemed like I was right back where I started from over a month ago. And but then somehow, the exercises are definitely helping my PT exercises are helping, but I saw my physical therapist Ryan yesterday as we record this. And he said, talk to your doctor about getting a steroid pack. And I'm like, okay, I don't know what that is. And I imagined it was like something that I was going to fix to my body and it was going to like, I don't know, like a anti smoking patch or something. I don't know. Yeah, that's what it's like. She had no. So it just means a very concentrated short term dose of, in my case, prednisone. And so I take three 50, I think milligrams, I think that's in the morning and the doctor definitely was like, take it only in the morning. It's going to make you feel like you've had 6 cups of coffee, and I'm like, oh, as I said to my PT, jittery is not my jam. I don't do caffeine. I don't like feeling jittery, and I know that my dad had taken prednisone a couple times and he and I have had a lot of the same allergies and reacted to a lot of the same things. And I know it made him super duper jittery. So I took it about 5 and a half hours ago, and so far I'm not bouncing off the walls. Well, good. I'll let you know if that tone changes during this podcast. Yeah, right, if I suddenly start talking really fast. But so what it is is it aggressively goes after the inflammation. And my doctor also said, you know, affects all the inflamed your body doesn't know that it's supposed to just target my bulging disc in my low back. And so she said, you're going to feel so good. And I was like, right, right. Yes, yes..

"This is Demi McDowell, Colin with a check in on the whole groin area. SPS, how's it going? How's your groin? The question you get asked frequently, right? Of course, of course. So yeah, so I've talked on previous episodes that I am injured and anyone who is at Hilton head or saw me on the way to Hilton head would know that I'm injured my stride is quite hinky my walking stride. So anyway, so I had over the week, so I saw a PT on Thursday, a physical therapist on Thursday, and he was kind of mystified as a little bit why the pain kind of started in the left, hip and groin, and then had really kind of jumped over to the right side. And so by the time I saw him, the right side was more of a problem than the left side. So he gave me some exercises and he said that the thing he mainly thought it would be or is, is a bulging disc, which at first I was like, ah, something spinal. And he was like, oh, you know, don't worry, that clears up pretty easily. You've already been having this since mid February. He's like, oh, yeah, you know, a couple more weeks, and it should be fine. And I can give you exercises, it'll provide some relief. I said, or it could be a stress fracture in your pelvis. And I'm like looking at him thinking like, dude, you know, I have enormous risks. I just come from very hearty stock. In terms of my bone density. Your bone density. Yeah, yeah. So you're thinking, no, no, no to the stress fracture. Yeah, so I wasn't going to know the stress fracture, and then he said, you know, that I would have to go see my doctor to get a referral to get an x-ray. So I went and my general practitioner, he's retiring..

"Training for and racing and endurance events. I'm Demi McDowell, cofounder of another mother runner. And I am Sarah wasner Flynn, Demi, it's so great to be with you today. It is. And it's a good Friday afternoon here. Love recording of podcast on a Friday afternoon. Very windy here in Maryland, though. I was blue over on my run this morning. Oh my gosh. Wow. Wow. Well, I'm glad you're running and not on your bike because we are going to talk about cycling today. Today's topic is one that I just love, love, love, triathlon. More specifically, how to get started in triathlon. If you have even the slightest interest in trying to triathlon this summer, this podcast is going to tell you how to do it and likely tip you over the edge, especially because you've got a new race like a mother program where you can come to do a sprint triathlon in Chicago with a team full of your AMR teammates. So Sarah, before we get going, you are a triathlete, an accomplished triathlete. Do you know how many you've done? Do you keep track of that kind of thing? Oh, no, I can't keep track. I mean, I would say, I was doing like 15 and season at some point, like that. Oh, wow. I would say I've probably done like 40, 50, maybe small. Let's talk about sprints, a quaff alons, you know, all different multi sport events. I was in it really hot and heavy, pre-pandemic. All right. And a quasi lens you're talking about. Is that an aquathon? Is that how you say that? I don't even. I think there's an extra element there. I've went to the national championships and I believe they were calling a Quetta. So yeah, but potato potato, right? I guess. Yeah, that's cool. And is that a swim or run swim run or what is that? Yep, exactly. It was a, what do we do?.
