OUR FAVORITE RUNNING DUO! This episode features the story of Alyssa and Tim, a couple who embody what it means to be dedicated runners and supportive partners. With Alyssa facing an injury and Tim gearing up for the Chicago Marathon, they share their journey of perseverance, teamwork, and the importance of community. You’ll be inspired by their conversations about the challenges of training while parenting four kids and how they found joy in the process, even when things didn’t go as planned.

Their story is a powerful reminder that setbacks can lead to new opportunities and that the journey is just as important as the destination.
