How was the Race

Paul takes us on a tour of a wonderful mid size race with a larger than life medal. This race has it all; themes, history, great course support, and a runners reunite area that's hard to beat.

Sara and I do a post race beer review, we ran Freedoms Run. I ran the half and she ran the full. This is a short recap of our day.

Hillary and I go on a humid, delayed tour of Minnesota. Hillary has a great Instagram channel, go check her out and give her a follow.

Jim takes me on a tour of possibly his favorite marathon in his favorite city. We talk the course, expo, baseball, food, rivers, bridges, and more!

Lisa from Behind the Bib podcast,

takes us on a very unique series of races that run 3 days in a row. The course, unknown. Distance, uncertain. And the swag is MIA. And it's totally worth it!

Are you running the Chicago Marathon, or another large marathon? This is the episode for you. Janelle and I talk about how we go about having the best experience at one of the best races in the world!

Mother Runner Kendyl takes us along her own journey to running a half marathon of her own route, and we also spoke of the Mo Cowbell (for the half). Virtual racing can be a rewarding way for those that cannot travel to in-person races.

Ietta Parrott takes us on a tour of Atlanta. She is a pacer for this February race that is well supported, accessible from public transport, and has a very nice hotel at the start/finish line. Give Ietta a follow on her Instagram and follow her journeys.

I got to sit down with the owner and CEO of Orange Mud and 7 Clay. We talked about the Endurance pack, the Transition Wrap, other products, and of course running. I also had Shad and Majel run with the pack and give me their opinion.
