Welcome to the Stride Sisters Podcast!

On today’s episode, we hop into our rocketship and head to Area 51 to talk about the half marathon that Hannah ran this past weekend, where the costumes were plentiful, the weather had a mind of its own, and survival became the name of the game. From 90-degree heat to a monsoon that turned the course into a slip-n-slide, Hannah’s race was anything but ordinary. We’ll talk about the highs, the lows, the new friends made on the course, and of course, the post-race recovery fueled by McDonald’s fries and Coke. So buckle up — or should we say beam up — because this week’s episode is going to be a wild ride.
