From the personal triumphs to the awe-inspiring dedication of athletes like Alicia, a wounded veteran whose determination embodies the spirit of these events, we celebrate each heartbeat of progress.What starts with serenity and fireworks during a pre-race yoga session quickly transitions into gritty determination as we conquer races, costume challenges, and even our own physical hurdles like the infamous four-mile mark. Hear about my own dash across the Adventure Is Out There 10k finish line and how a well-struck pose can capture the essence of victory. We'll whisk you through the emotional tales and the power of a shared journey, all while acknowledging the behind-the-scenes magic conjured by our tireless crew. Tying the laces tighter, we delve into the practical: nourishment for the body and soul. We discuss the puzzles of race-day nutrition and the shared struggle against the sneaky foe that is nausea during a run. And then, with hearts full and hats signed, we bid you a temporary adieu, inviting you to carry the torch of motivation through to next season. So, keep those stories coming and let the sound of this episode be the wind at your back, propelling you toward the next starting line.

When the energy of Disney magic meets the determination of marathon runners, you get KD Queen, the vibrant runDisney DJ and athlete who's lived to tell the tale. Our conversation with her peeled back the layers on what it takes to keep the party going, even when the sleep tanks are running on empty. We shared laughs and heartfelt stories about the transitions—from pounding the pavements of the Mickey Marathon to spinning tracks that keep the Disney faithful moving. Feeling the poignancy of the season's wrap-up, we delved into a listener's question on postpartum nutrition, offering advice that goes beyond the finish line and into life's marathon.The adrenaline rush didn't stop there, as we sprinted through the triumphs and trials of the 128th Boston Marathon. The cheers for Marcel Hug's blazing record and Sahar's finish for St. Jude echoed in our discussion, while we also tipped our hats to the voices that bring these stories to our living rooms—broadcasting legends like John Anderson and Mike Tirico. As we unpacked our personal reflections on missed chances and social media features, the anticipation for the Paris Olympics was as tangible as the pavement under a marathoner's shoes.Finally, we took a breather with some lighter fare—because who hasn't set their crockpot to the wrong temperature and turned a culinary masterpiece into a humble sandwich night? These shared kitchen capers are the spices of life, much like the dietary wisdom dispensed for breastfeeding runners needing that extra omega-3 boost. So whether you're lacing up your running shoes or just looking for a dose of everyday inspiration, this episode promises to be as nourishing for the soul as it is for the body, thanks to the stories and advice from a community that knows no finish line.Support the showLet Registered Dietitian Carissa Galloway lead you through a science-backed plan to transform the way you think about your diet.Visit www.GallowayCourse.com and use the code PODCAST at checkout for a great discount!Become a 321 Go! supporter.
