May 04, 2010 08:55 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

30 Episodes – that’s a milestone for the Gomers, and in this episode, they examine the significance of making it 14 episodes beyond what they’d originally planned.  There’s Back to the Future talk, discussion about how short runs are easier than long ones, a Biggest Loser update, bad news about…

Both Gomers pulled out their LSRs this week (that stands for Long Slow Runs, emphasis on the SLOW), Gomer2 just barely.  However, a new tactic has arisen that helped him get through the bonk – and no, it’s not imagining that he’s being chased by giant worms. Plus: Middle School…

Season 2 : Episode 28 – iPlod

April 20, 2010 04:13 - 53 minutes - 50.7 MB

Need a week off from running, whether you want it or not?  Amidst all the iPad chat, Gomer1 has the tip just for you this week on the podcast!  Hint – it has to do with summer footwear. Gomer2 is still on his road to recovery, and he has a…

April 06, 2010 06:31 - 59 minutes - 55.4 MB

Spring isn’t the only thing sprung on this episode of the Two Gomers, especially when a very special guest shows up in the Runner’s Corner.  Also, Gomer1 sets a PR in a race while Gomer2 tries to figure out how he feels about that.  How sensi!  Plus, a new fast…

March 30, 2010 06:17 - 1 hour - 56.8 MB

This week, join the guys as they do their best to get “there,” whatever “there” means.  Gomer1 re-inserts himself back into the training schedule, and Gomer2 heads to warmer climates for some recovery training, which includes catching a glimpse of the weirdest person he’s ever seen while on a run.…

Season 2 : Episode 24 – Getting Close to Getting There

March 23, 2010 08:17 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

Good news:  Steven just ran his first mile since the accident.  Sure, it’s a baby step, but it’s a BIG baby step. What, you didn’t see that movie?  Weird. Also:  Thrilling Daylight Savings Time discussions, Wii-related confessions, senior song confusions, and car talk, just like them guys on the NPR!…

March 16, 2010 06:20 - 56 minutes - 53.2 MB

With Gomer2 still laid up in bed and Gomer1 recovering from the Half Marathon, it’s a slow running week.  But you know better than to think they wouldn’t come up with PLENTY to talk about right?  It’s what you’d expect:  a weird mix of Oscar Chat, food tangents, weight updates,…

March 08, 2010 10:50 - 1 hour - 57 MB

Who thinks it’s a good idea for Gomer2 to take his meds right before recording, raise your hands.  You might want to listen to this episode before you decide.  The Gomers are back, baby, and doing their best to bring a little bit of normalcy back to the GomerNation.  So…

March 02, 2010 15:23 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

Season 2 : Episode 21 – One Gomer Gets Hit By A Smart Car

February 23, 2010 06:52 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MB

The title explains it all, right? This past week Steven got hit by a car while on a run in the fair city of Denver, and he is able to sit up long enough to record a shorter episode so the Gomernation knows the details. And, more importantly, so they…

February 09, 2010 07:31 - 53 minutes - 50.6 MB

Humble pie, anyone?  The Gomers have a big slice they’d be willing to share.  The good news is, most of the Gomernation has forgiven the guys for their insensitivity last week, and after an initial apology from their future selves, they’re ready to move on.  Both of them ran a…

January 26, 2010 03:23 - 53 minutes - 50 MB

“You’re only one run away from a good run.”  That’s Gomer1’s theory, and Gomer2 hopes it’s true, because it was brutal for him this week.  But it makes for good podcast material, right?  Join the guys as they process what it means when one of them has a good week…

The Gomers are really getting into the Christmas spirit now, with more discussions about food, music, and movies both classic (White Christmas) and kind of a stretch (The Godfather).  Oh, and they ran last week, too.  Kind of.  Winter has decended upon gomer2, and gomer1 does his best to keep…

Season 2 : Episode 9 – Jumping the Gun

November 03, 2009 05:40 - 57 minutes - 54.1 MB

It’s like when Anthony started that one race five minutes late, only the opposite.  Seems like the Gomers spoke too soon on their marathon choice, and recorded two entire podcasts before they realized it.  Sounds like a job for Future Anthony!  And with the first appearance of Future Steven, they…
