Fred and George Weasley (aka Dr. Bayles and Dr. Phillips) go #beyondFLG with Vince Sherry (aka St. Vincent de Sherry), owner and operator of Team Run Flagstaff. Vince helped to organize the virtual “Run with Rivs” challenge as a means to support Tommy “Rivers” Puzey and his family. Check out his description of how that challenge came about and what he would hope for in the future. Vince also highlights his rise to ownership of Run Flagstaff, addresses its influence on run culture in Flagstaff, and outlines where it is headed in the future. Of note, Vince’s alternative course in life was to become a middle school science teacher.
Vince is an overall generous guy carving his own niche into the run culture of Northern Arizona. He mentions interactions and relationships with the likes of Nat White, NATRA Neil, Erin Strout, Gayle Hughes, Mike Smith, the Coconino Cowboys, and, one of his childhood heroes, Bob Kennedy. Most importantly, check below for the link to donate to Tommy “Rivers” Puzey.

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people. Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic. Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it. Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories. This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.
#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it. Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated. #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
