How do the hosts introduce the episode and recent listener growth?
Hey, this is Allie, and thanks for listening to the show. Give us a five-star review where you listen and share this episode with someone who might need to hear it. Now, enjoy the show. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to another edition of DIY Money. DIY Money. Hey, I want to first thank all the new listeners. I don't know. I never know. We never know what brings you here. Clearly, someone posted about it. I mean, it just happened, but we basically have doubled listeners in the last week. Yeah, it's awesome. So welcome, all of you, probably starting with episodes going back months and months ago to catch up. So maybe you never get to this one for many, many months. Welcome again. Welcome.
Hope you enjoyed the other 798 episodes.
I hope we still have people that go all the way back to binge it. That's fun.
You think so? I mean, I don't even know. I couldn't even scroll that far back. It'd just be like scroll, scroll, scroll. Speaking of scrolling, I'm reading or listening to a new book. I highly recommend this book. It is colorful to a degree, but you'd expect that out of this. It's the biography of Andre Agassi. I'm not a tennis player, never been a tennis player at all. But, wow, this book is fantastic. I'm almost through it. And then the other day on my Spotify, all these little locks came up, and I'm like, wow. What?
Oh, yeah.
So you get nothing. Good day, sir. I'm almost done with this book. Now I can't even finish it. And apparently, didn't know this, you get a certain number of hours each month. And then they're like, oh, no soup for you. And they want you to buy the book, which, of course, I didn't do. So I'll just have to wait like another, you know, six or seven, five or six days in your five days.
So with that, because I think the book kind of goes hand in hand with what is going on in your world. Give us a running update.
I know. This is a dramatic pause. I know my running friends who listen to this already know this. You already know this because you are in this running world that is a weird little bubble, microcosm of crazy. But a few weeks ago, I reported I was so excited and elated to have achieved my goal that of running a marathon in three hours. Oh, that'd be awesome. Three hours and 10 minutes and 50 seconds. My Boston qualifying time for my age group was three hours and 15 minutes, giving me a four-minute and 10-second cushion. I think I probably talked about on the podcast that I was – I was on the fence with that. I'd heard a lot of arguments that because of the broad five-minute reduction they did last year, so a year ago my time was 320, that the qualifying gap would not be much, maybe two or three minutes.
Why is Andre Agassi’s biography and personal anecdotes mentioned at the start?
So I felt good about my 410. However, there were a lot of data crunchers out there that were basically saying it's going to be like six or seven and you have no shot. So I was on the fence. and it's kind of one of those things that if I didn't get it, I would have liked to have, I mean, you all know where this story's going by now, but I would have liked to have been like, ah, it's a seven-minute gap, like you didn't get it, and you're not even close. I missed it, Logan, by 24 seconds.
I'd like to speak to the manager. That's so painful.
Less than a second a mile. And I will tell you, 48 years of age, I thought I was done with, like, gut punches. I mean, clearly anything can happen family-wise, health-wise. I mean, you know, I'm sure I'm not done with it. But you know what I mean? It's been a long, long time since I have had a rug pull like this. And... Wow. I mean, you go through all the emotions. I'm so happy I have a great network of people. Genuinely, like I don't get from anybody that, oh, sorry, man. And in their mind, they're like, ha ha, you sucker. I don't feel that at all. Maybe there's people out there. I doubt it. Well, maybe. But my point is, is that I went through these range of emotions. First, I had this pity party for about 24 hours.
By the way, I just found this out like two days ago. Yeah, so fresh. Yeah, 24 hours ago I – or 24 hours I had a pity party.
