This man has done it all - and done it all many times over. Not only did he serve our country (for which I am extremely appreciative) but he's served the ultra community as well, always giving back. Get some hard core advice from a very special guy!

Joey is one of the nicest guys I know and you'll understand why as you listen to his heartfelt tales of Vol State "failure" and success in this episode. He tells you some "must-do's", one of which is to realize that this is a Vacation (without a car) and you should treat it as such! Enjoy

Scott is one of the four "knee jerks" and he explains more about this during this episode. He also shares some of the people and items that have made his race(s) a success.

Salley is a Vol State veteran as well as a United States Marine Corps Veteran. She advocates two simple things - "keep moving forward" and "trust yourself". Easy to say but not always easy to do. That's why you need to listen to her talk about her experiences in this Podcast

With the 2024 Vol State race just around the corner, I wanted to help you through the last weekend of nerves by giving you this bonus episode of talking with Road Angel, David Scott (and all related to him). He will charm you in this episode as he does in person when you see him. What an amazing Road Angel (whom I first thought was a hallucination).

Carmel and Jarrod were "the Boys" in my latest book and on this episode Carmel gives his side of the story. Ha ha. Seriously though, he has many more tips and tricks and tells of how companionship at Vol State not only helps you keep on going but also leads to life long friends.

This episode features a Spam loving Race Director who has participated in all three summer vacations without a car - Vol State, HOTS and Third Circle. Can you spell "Wise"? Or maybe there's a better word??? Enjoy his adventures as he brings you along in his pack.

Another Vol State friend for life. After the 2018 Vol State, Diane helped me in my attempt to cross the US. without her, I'd have ended up in Hawaii since I'm so geographically challenged. But this retired Marine was definitely always faithful and always there for me. You can't ask for a better friend! Listen to her Vol State and HOTS escapades.

Another man near and dear to my heart and further proof of the friendships made along the road at Vol State. Justin Daniels is one of the kindest and most generous men I know. Check out RunningForCOPD on Facebook and also go to www.COPDfoundation.org and search for Justin's name..or you can simply google Justin Daniels Running for COPD. It's a great cause and I was honored to listen to him talk about it.

This is a special episode so I called it a bonus. Mr. & Mrs. Bailey sent me a written document with all the answers to the questions I would have asked. They did this in lieu of being on the podcast. So, today I read his document in order for you to see what wonderful people the Baileys are. It's one sided but I hope I did his epistle justice!
