Doing Stuff Outdoors-20
28/09/2007
This is the marathon edition of Doing Stuff Outdoors. If you've never run a full or half marathon before this podcast will give you a taste of what it's like. Gary is running the half marathon event at Marathon by the Sea in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. He takes his audio recorder along to capture some of the behind the scenes excitement as competitors wait at the starting line for the race to begin. We'll meet first time runners, nordic-walkers, even a family running the 10 km event while pushing their baby in a stroller. Gary also records his comments as he runs the 13 mile course and after the race he'll talk to fellow runners and the winner of the full marathon. It's someone regular listeners to this podcast will know.
Call the comments line with the story of your best or worst race at 206-600-4557. You can email us at doingstuffoutdoors@yahoo.ca.

Doing Stuff Outdoors-19
22/09/2007
On the podcast this week we join Andrew Spender of the UK for an account of his multi-day walk through the English countryside. He traveled a total of 146 miles from his home town of Stratford on Avon to London to raise money for a local hospice. He followed the same historical route dating from the time of Shakespeare, a famous fellow who just happened to live down the street from Andrew, Check out Andrew's blog Redneps for a terrific account of his journey and for some fabulous photographs.
Also I go shopping for a new pair of running shoes with the help of running guru Alex Coffin. And as the marathon approaches I get a few last minute pointers on how to survive a half marathon.
Next week a special podcast about running the race. I'll take you with me as I run (or attempt to finish) the 13 mile event. We'll also talk to other runners and walkers and take in the party that is Marathon by the Sea.

Thanks for clicking and downloading this edition of Doing Stuff Outdoors. On this podcast we check in once again with artist, film maker and outdoor adventurer Cory Trepanier. He's just completed a month long expedition on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. There he encountered icebergs, kilometer high fiords, glaciers, polar bears and the native people of the north. Cory is sharing this experience through his paintings, video journals and more. We caught up with him in Iqaluit just as he was preparing to return to the south.
As I continue training for my half marathon run we'll talk again with marathoner, coach and running guru Alex Coffin. Today Alex talks about marathon tourism and tells us about some of his favorite marathons including Big Sur, California on the Pacific Coast and the Cabot Trail run on the Atlantic Coast.
Brent Kimber explains the concept behind his blog mygeosports.com. His idea of keeping it simple and just getting outside is in keeping with my philosophy about outdoor adventure and what Doing Stuff Outdoors is all about.
Podsafe music this week from AjT.
On next weeks show Alex Coffin will give me a few last minute pointers on running a half marathon and we'll go shopping for a new pair of shoes.
And I hope to have an interview with Andrew Spender from the UK about his long walk across part of England this summer.

Doing Stuff Outdoors-17
08/09/2007
Hello Outdoor Enthusiasts,
Thanks for clicking and downloading the podcast. The theme for DSO-17 is 'Kids and the Outdoors'. Brent Kimber of Utah is a father of three young children. Before the kids came along he used to enjoy endurance sports. But now he's turned his attention to outdoor activities he can do with the children as a family. Brent has a few tips on how to introduce your kids to the outdoors.
Spending time with children in the outdoors doesn't always have to be about organized hikes or skiing trips. Sometimes it's just about spending time together doing simple things. We'll meet a grandfather and his grandson enjoying each others company at the beach flying a kite.
My 'Outdoors Ramble' today is related to this. It's all about the importance of play for kids and adults too. It was posted in the blog at doingstuffoutdoors.com on July 28th.
Also today on the show some podsafe music from Denis Kitchen of New York.
If you have audio comments, suggestions or questions about the show call our new 'Comments Line' at 206-600-4557. I'd also love to hear about some of your outdoor adventures.

Next time on Doing Stuff Outdoors we'll check in with artist and film maker Cory Trepanier in the Canadian Arctic.
Thanks for listening,
Gary
Doing Stuff Outdoors-16
01/09/2007
On DSO-16 we meet a family who loves to sail. Rich and Pam Eyram and their children Mattias and Jenna spent two years living on their sailboat and cruising in the Caribbean Sea. Gary found them sailing into Parry Sound Harbour on Georgian Bay in Ontario. Hear about their adventures living on board and the excitement of life at sea.
Lorne Blagdon is back with the second part of his interview about hiking the Continental Divide Trail in Wyoming this summer. After he and his daughter finished mapping their section of the trail for Backpacker Magazine they did some exploring of their own. They ended up on a challenging mountain climb where Lorne's backpack made it to the bottom before he did.
And Gary's "Outdoors Ramble' today is about the balance between taking risks and being careful in the outdoors.
