Hello everyone - this is our first episode of a project with Gilda's club here in Nashville. Both this episode and episode 25 feature ladies who are a part of Gilda's club and are promoting their 1st annual 5k race that will take place on Saturday April 3rd here in Nashville. Our guest in this episode is Laurie Rice who is a Rabbi in Nashville and has a fascinating story about her life, career path and love for running. Laurie is such a great ambassador for running and we discuss how she got started in the sport and her involvement with Gilda's club.  We also discuss some of her favorite races that she has participated in like the 2020 virtual race where she ran across the state of TN ... and then back ... over the course of 4 months! Yes indeed Laurie is truly a "running Rabbi" and hearing her story will make you appreciate the sport even more. Thanks as always for listening and be sure to check out part 2 .. episode 25 that will be out soon.
