Nik and Dan take a look at some of the sights around Salem. There's actually water behind her, somewhere.

The race began at this school, which is probably haunted. Just look at it.


Nik gets ready to run the half, starting at the back.

Salem's power plant, one of the many establishments in and around the area that do not serve coffee and bagels to hungry husbands waiting for their wives to finish half-marathons.

Leaves are starting to turn in New England.


Nik rounds the final turn in the Salem Wicked Half.

Where the hell are we?

Don't worry: We're still making the show! In the meantime, here's a cute picture!

Long story short, we tried to record episode 45 last weekend, but that didn't go so well. We were going to record in Tiverton, R.I., but got a flat tire on the way. We couldn't find time to record any other time in the week after that.

Finding time in the week to record has been a bit tough, between work, changing schedules, insomnia, and lousy weather. But rest assured we're going to be recording as soon as we can, probably tomorrow in fact, then we'll edit furiously, and then you can listen to us blather on about silly sh__ while you run!

Because of our schedules, we'll probably be making the show every two weeks instead of every week (or, more accurately for lately, every 10 days or so). Sorry about that, but consider this: it'll be fortnightly! Doesn't that sound nicer?

We'll check in with you guys very, very soon, and thanks for listening!

Calling all girls! We need you to run...

And beat the Bad Boys of Running at our Runner+ Challenge: Bad Girls of Running vs Bad Boys of Running

Runner+ is free and fun. It's a great place to track your mileage, meet other runners and join challenges like this one. If you have a Nike+ system, you can sync it to the site, but you don't need a Nike+ system to be a part of Runner+. Right now, the Bad Boys' Team is bigger and winning, so we need more girls to join!

Be a Bad Girl of Running and show those nasty boys who's the better runner!
