Shoutouts
Huge thank you to my amazing crew and pacers, Hollie and Katie!!

It's Orcas 100 week! 🎉

In this solo episode, I'm diving into what it looks like to train for a 100-miler while raising kids — including listener Q&A. We'll talk about squeezing in long runs during ski season, balancing work and life, gear, and everything else that goes into getting to the start line feeling ready.
