PODCAST #110: JOHN GRDINA, THE MID-STATE MILE AND FREEDOM


The Mid-State Mile is a last man standing endurance event held in Tennessee. This yearly right of passage is more than just a race, it’s a fellowship event.


Our guest today is John Grdina, and he just ran in his first Mid-State Mile, and he joins us to talk about the experience and the lessons learned.


We also have a great conversation about faith and the freedom that comes with holding ourselves to a higher standard through accountability from others around us.


This is PICK UP THE SIX Podcast.




This episode of PICK UP THE SIX Podcast is sponsored by AllBirds. I’ve been an AllBirds customer for years now, because their shoes look great, they are super comfortable, and they make shoes and clothes that are better for you and better for the planet by using revolutionary, premium, natural materials.


As a runner, I’m also looking for a shoe that feels and fits great out on a run, and so I’m pumped to tell you about the AllBirds Tree Flyer. I have a pair, and they are great.



The Tree Flyer is lightweight, super springy, and wildly comfortable, making your running efforts, of all shapes and sizes, feel surprisingly effortless. They provide unbelievable cushion and comfort, so even your toughest runs are easier on your body.


I recommend this shoe, because I wear this shoe. Plus they have load of other great stuff too and they’re hooking you up with a free pair of AllBirds socks on your next order of $50 or more. Just use the promo code Pickupthesocks.


That’s promo code Pickupthesocks at AllBirds.com on your next order of $50 or more.


Lace up the Tree Flyer and get running today.
