What a guy!! I am so excited to share Barry Roberts, the first ultramarathoner on the podcast!! Barry shares how running is just natural for him, even as a young kid, and then picking it back up in his thirties. Wow!
 
Barry also shares that running was not on his radar as a to-do list, just part of his personal training, yet he is a natural.
 
Barry has some epic lessons learned that he shares and fantastic words of wisdom!
I was inspired so much by my chat with Barry!
 
Barry gives all credit to his wife and daughters who even tag along on some of his epic running adventures.
 
After talking with Barry Roberts, I hope you become just as inspired as I was!

From being a mom, wife, physical therapist, and professor, to a marathon runner, Kristen Rather is the true definition of a runner! This was such a privilege for me because Kristen Rather was one of my professors at the University of Mobile! Go Rams! To have this moment to sit down and talk about all things running was really special because Kristen is one of my people that I go to when I learn something new in the running world. You should see our text messages!

I hope you guys enjoy learning about Kristen Rather's RYS and get to meet a beautiful runner who loves running with all of her heart!

Leigh brings some great advice and encouragement for anyone wanting to start their journey into running/walking. Leigh shares that "we shouldn't compare our Run Stories with anyone else, because we are all different" and that is so true.  Unlike her husband's Run Story, Leigh is just starting, yet she has already accomplished two amazing finish lines! While Leigh's running journey is just beginning, she shares what she has learned and that her story has more miles to come! 
So, enjoy Leigh Contratto and her Run Your Story.

James Contratto is a well-known running name here in Mobile, AL. To know James is to know not only an incredible runner but an incredible human. It is an honor to share James' story with our running/walking community, especially since he and his wife Leigh are preparing their move from Mobile to Charleston. I am inspired by James and his Run Story, I hope you will be too!
