In this episode, Brittany and Caryn share their experience running the Big Sur marathon. Caryn completed the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge, completing both marathons thirteen days apart. Both of them share some of the mental and physical challenges they faced during the race. Looking at some of our teammates who were unable to finish the marathon, we launch into a discussion about the decision not to start a race you've signed up for, not to finish a race you've started, and when it's wise or unwise to power through despite physical and mental challenges.

Also, Caryn and Brittany stalked Mike Wardian outside a port-a-potty.

In this episode, Caryn fights through tears and f-bombs to share her story of running and finishing the Boston Marathon.

With Caryn and some of our Team Shenanigans Running Teammates heading to the Boston Marathon, we thought it would be interesting to listen back to an episode we recorded about two years ago with Boston John Minervino, who at the time had just finished his sixteenth straight Boston Marathon. He talks??about his unexpected qualification for the 2001??Boston Marathon, and his string of qualifying for Boston. He also shares his experience in the aftermath of the 2013 finish line bombing.
