Extraordinary Strides

Hello, friend,

After we wrapped up the runDisney Princess weekend episode production, we had an opportunity to create a bit of extra Disney Sparkle and Magic by having Aaron, aka Loungefly and VHS guy at bRUNch, with us.

Aaron recently jumped right on in with some of the most creative costumes at runDisney after teaching himself to sew, and he shares insights on how to tackle costuming, running safely in hot and humid weather conditions, how to enjoy every step of the way, and how to SMASH your fundraising goals!

Want to keep up with him? Follow him over on Instagram >>

And, don't forget if you see the super (lounge)fly guys in person, snap a selfie and tag us on social using #tfbrunch. 

Stay magical friend and enjoy the extra sparkle.

Hello, Royal Squad, 

That's right - as you listen to this, we are out at runDisney wearing our tiaras, and Coach Christine is also gearing up to head out to Tokyo to claim her Abbott World Marathon Major Six Star. So we decided what better way to celebrate than have a Princesses run the World theme. 

We have a fun Would You Rather game and had another recipe face-off! If you aren't signed up for the newsletter - you are missing out! Sign up here or email us info@timeforbrunchcom

Hey, friend,

If you are listening to this, it's because we hit "go" on the episode for when life has maybe given us a few lemons. So we decided to make lemonade. Maybe we are sick or just juggling a few extra balls that made it tough to record.

So join us for a Wayback Wednesday as we recorded this while Coach Shelby was under the weather and we were expecting another hurricane, but it made us realize that we wanted to be "prepared."

We want YOU to lean in entirely to this gratitude walk when your mood needs a bit of a boost, when you are looking for a bit more restoration, or you are recovering from life just being "life-y."   

We talked about our gratitude practice and how we cultivate our optimism, from paying it forward to giving folks compliments, random acts of kindness, grounding, and more.

Hello, friend, 

We have been kicking around a few ideas and decided that in the spirit of Innovation Day, we would "innovate" Quick Bytes. 

So today, join us for an unstructured episode as we chat about some of our favorite movies that inspired Coach Christine to look at innovation a bit differently and how we can incorporate fresh new ways to show ourselves and others random acts of kindness. 

We would love to hear from you! Reach out at [email protected]

Keep kicking asphalt, friends!

Hello, friend,

Oh. My. Sparkles! You are in for a treat today!

All aboard the love train with a destination of "going the distance" with our three fabulous couples.

Workout Structure:
2-min dynamic warm-up
5-min walking warm-up 

35-minute Endurance Block:
Meet newly engaged Neil & Allie, who met over a shared love of RunDisney and Disney Marathon weekend, he asked if she would show him the world, and she said, "Yes!"

Keep in touch with these "happily ever after" solemates, Allie and Neil, on Instagram.
 
35-minute Endurance Block:
Meet our next lovebirds. The Laymans, Bette, and Scott met and it was love at first run. They incorporated health, fitness, and running so much into their dating life that they got hitched at the Best Damn Race 5k in Orlando.

Ten years later, they are still running, laughing, and enjoying their adventures as they tackle new challenges together.

35-minute Endurance Block:
You know her, love her, and have been asking her to come back... Coach Tia sits down with us again, but this time she brings her BRF, who also happens to be her husband of 30+ years. It shows you can have a friendly competition on the run and still share support and encouragement for each other along the way!

Keep in touch with Coach Tia & Johnny by following their official hashtag on Instagram and Facebook - #pettygruepowersactivated

5 - min cool-down Coffee with the Coaches as we tackle fueling questions. Do you have a question you would like featured or answered?
