This episode is jam-packed with excitement with Amy Haas, who's undertaking the ambitious quest of running half marathons across all 50 states, and Vanessa discussing her unique reverse Goofy run.

Amy's passion for empowering women in fitness and health is truly inspiring. She invites us into her world, discussing her monumental challenge of tackling half marathons nationwide, the planning involved, and the support she has been blessed with. Not only does she enlighten us about her journey, but she also gives us a sneak peek into her flourishing coaching business. Amy's tale of consistency, strength training, and notable victories, such as her surprise win at her first half marathon in Arkansas, is sure to motivate every listener.

Wrapping up the episode, we  take a fun detour into the Race Report where listeners share race recaps from last weekend. Vanessa speaks with us about her remarkable "reverse Goofy Challenge" experiences during the Jack 'n Jill Downhill Marathon and Half Marathon.  This episode is an exhilarating rollercoaster of running adventures.
