Runinng is a sport that many of us love. However, running as a woman is very different from running as a man. This episode is all about what it feels like to run as a woman. The freeing feeling. The new experiences. Pushing our bodies to the limits. It also talks about the fear, the precautions that we take, that running in a sports bra is not asking for it and more.

Not every injury is the result of a fall or an epic crush. Chronic injuries and pain are a real thing and so often we attempt to push through the pain and discomfort. Today my conversation with guest Toni Kengor is all about injury, how we handle injury and how we come back from it.

Over the past two years we've all made some amazing freinds online. One friend that I've had the priveledge of getting to know and being inspired by is Eric Logan. Eric is a duathlete from Georgia and we met online back in 2020. His motivating posts helped inspired me to attempt my first duathlon and get out the door on many mornings. Eric consistently shows up and in our conversation, he shared his story on how to changed his life, how he balances a full-time job and how social media can be healthy for us.
