In S3Ep9 of the PRP, Adam chats it up with second-time marathoner, prideful life long Michigander, CPA extraordinaire, and passionate local running luminary Cynthia Vink, who has been preparing for the Erie Marathon on Sunday September 10th, 2023. David Pokriefka, on again off again hobby jogger, jubilant mechanical engineer and Cindy’s better half joins the show to offer his take on running, Cindy and all things David Goggins….
Cindy provides the PRP listenership with an extensive tour of her origins with running and shares a detailed account of how her relationship with the sport has blossomed into what it is today. Baby steps, taking small leaps of faith, two huge scoops and patience and believing in herself has yielded a connection with movement that has become more powerful than she ever could have imagined.
Things get vulnerable when Cynthia shares insight into some of the social anxiety she struggled with when first discovering the sport. From not feeling confident at starting lines to being overcome with nerves when attending her first group run, Cindy shares a tidbit or two about what it took to get over that hump, and more importantly what she has found on the other side.
Not the gumdrop button?! Red rover red rover send who right over??? Cynthia Vink and the Chamber of Secrets?! What’s David’s secret to speed walking so damn fast? How does Facebook (yes, Facebook) play into the story of how Cindy and David met? Jimmy Buffet?! Just how much does David LOVE seat belts? Banana Blizzards from DQ, say whhhaaaa??
