6 Goals | Episode 24

This week I talk about finally going for a run after buying some brand new running shoes, and doing some eBook and podcast artwork for some fellow authors. It's great to be running and podcasting again!

Artwork I Created for the Action Pack Podcast

Here is some artwork I created for my friends over at the Action Pack Podcast. Here's a quick about from their site:

The Action Pack Podcast is an idea that began last year (either in November or December) when JR Murdock, Scott Roche and Michell Plested were talking about their writing goals for 2012. It was suggested that the three should join forces to create something new: a podcast that included three different stories told serially.

The idea gained traction in January when a few others heard about the idea and whole-heartedly encouraged its creation. The three creative geniuses (yes, that is what I said) :) met again to come up with a plan and 45 minutes later the podcast was born.

Action Pack is both an eBook and a podcast, with both elements being simultaneously released every month. The eBook will be published by Flying Island Press and the podcast will be available for download from this site and on iTunes. Each story will be a straight read by the authors and you can expect just a little cliffhangering.

Here's my artwork:

New Shoes

I got a new pair of running shoes! The Nike Zoom Structure Triax+ 15 running shoes. I'm really excited to run in them. I walked around a lot in the store, and did a tiny jog outside the store for about a block, and they felt amazing. I tried a few others but ever since I started running a lot in high school the Nike Triax shoes have always fit my feet the best. A lot of my team mates liked Brooks and New Balance, a few had Asics, but it was always Nike Triax shoes for me. Almost every time I bought a new pair I would try the other brands, but this line of shoes fits my feet the best. With this new pair, because I'm used to the pair I bought about nine years ago, it feels like I'm running on the spring floor at the gymnastics club my wife coaches at! Maybe I just forgot what a really nice pair of running shoes feel like when they're new, but they feel fantastic. I'm really excited to go for a run in them. Expect a new podcast episode to drop next Monday.
