Wow. This episode.

When was the last time you ran a race just to experience it with someone else? When was the last time you ran a race and, upon crossing the finish line, the focus wasn't on your time but the celebration of completing another adventure?

This mother/daughter powerhouse duo tells their honest story about how their journey began. LaLa and Kellie go on to discuss the ups and downs along the way, and the undeniable impact it's had not only on their relationship, but the family as a whole.

This episode reopened my eyes and helped me to adjust my own expectations about upcoming goals. Let them remind us all the joy is not just in the doing, but the journey and the people along the way. Whether they are family, or become family, running may be a solo sport by design, but there is nothing better than the people who show up along the way.

Marty and I end the year catching up with each other only to find that neither really hit our goals for the month.

Life, family, weather, health issues; whether one or all, can derail even the best laid plans. What matters is the need, willingness, and desire to crawl your way back because you've got big goals to hit!

You have to listen to this episode. We discuss the benefits of shopping local for running shoes, pilates, and Frank the Goose.

Probably one of my top 5 favorites; and that says a lot.
