You just can't wait to become a badass physicist, but right now you have more questions than answers. Believe me, we know. We are in the picture above, three years ago, feeling exactly like that. Classes, teaching, research... After three years some of those questions got answers. Come with us, we'll tell you everything.

Sarah, my co-host for this episode, has been an avid half marathoner for a while now and basically taught me everything I know about running. This interview was a testament to this knowledge that I’ve worked hard to follow. In the discussion we talk about things like running form, tips to running further, places to look for more information, and even things we think about during running (you all might find that especially funny). I know everyone has their own views of what kind of workouts they like or what they think of as an acceptable amount of uncomfortable sweating, but give it a chance maybe you will learn something new.

Be sure to check out the blog post that goes along with this episode to get the whole story behind this interview.

Also, yes the picture for this episode is from a run Sarah and I did together... we found a cute turtle!
