Shannon Spencer and I met when we were randomly paired to run a 5K together for Ainsley's Angels. In the short time we were together, I knew I needed to get to know her better.

During this episode, sponsored by Amazfit, we talked about:

• How her husband is a fire fighter 

• Meeting at the Hit the Bricks 5K in Zionsville through Ainsley’s Angels

• Running the Marine Corps Marathon and the Air Force Marathon with Ainsley’s Angels 

• Celebrating milestone birthdays

• The 4x4x48 she organizes every year to raise money for Ainsley's Angels

• How she first got into running in fifth grade

• Running marathons in 13 different states with one of her best friends

• More about her family - she’s a mom and a grandma (Noni)

• How she became an average skydiver 

• Her breast cancer diagnosis in 2009 shortly after she was divorced and when she didn’t have healthcare 

• The “race that got away” in Spencer, Indiana (get it…Shannon Spencer)
