Allison Gaillard and Karla McInnis discuss her running journey. Karla initially had reservations about running, especially during her time in high school and college when she was involved with military training programs. However, she eventually gained the confidence to start running again, setting small goals for herself. She talks about her experience with the B12K race and the Memorial 5k, highlighting the emotional moments and camaraderie with fellow runners and veterans.
 
Karla's running journey has taught her the importance of setting achievable goals and persevering, no matter where you start. She recalls a challenging race experience at the "Doing it in the Bush" race but emphasizes that it doesn't deter her from participating again. She acknowledges that races can be tough at times but encourages a positive mindset.

When asked for advice for someone starting running, Karla suggests starting small and gradually increasing the intensity or duration of workouts. She emphasizes the importance of taking it one step at a time and making progress at your own pace. She advises people to give themselves grace and set goals, encouraging them to pursue whatever they desire.

Karla talks about her involvement with American Cancer Society and promotes the Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on October 28th, inviting others to participate and enjoy the activities.

The conversation closes with Karla expressing her support for the podcast and Allison thanking her for her encouragement and friendship.
