Between 2 Runners

(sing along) I was working as a DJ in an Irish pub, that's when I met them. /singing They were the masters of mixology, and I was the maestro of the Dropkick Murphys soundtrack. By a stroke of fate, we all decided to hop on the health bandwagon. Fast forward, and it's been a whirlwind of 5ks, 50ks, blueberry pancakes, and trophy hoarding. The Woods uprooted to Tennessee, on a mission to sprinkle a little fitness fairy dust on a quaint town. Whenever they're in Gainesville, we lace up for a run, because old habits die hard. And get this – we're reuniting in August for a half marathon in North Carolina. Adam's set to ruck it, Amanda's eyeing the age group prize, and I'll be channeling Thor, hopefully without succumbing to heatstroke. Time to dust off a pre-Spotify era chat and breathe some mountain air into it. Enough of my rambling – dive into this throwback conversation with the folks that are like family to me --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/between-2-runners/message

Michele is not your average fitness enthusiast; she's a whirlwind of activity with a megawatt smile that could power a small city. From the crack of dawn, she's lifting weights that would make Atlas shrug, cycling through trails like a two-wheeled tornado, and bending into yoga poses that would making a flamingo jealous... And just when you think she's done, she's sitting cross-legged, meditating with the serenity of a Zen master who's found the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything (it's 42, by the way). Oh, and occasionally, she runs – because why not add a dash of 'The Flash' into the mix So, what are you waiting for? Smash that play button and join Michele on her epic adventure. Witness the spectacle as she leaps over murder logs, swings over swamps, and sprints past snakes. It's not just a workout; it's an adventure that'll leave you breathless and, quite possibly, with a burning desire to join a gym. Or at least cheer her on from the comfort of your couch with a bowl of hot fries. Because let's be real, we can't all be Micheles, but we sure can be entertained by her! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/between-2-runners/message

Amanda is a jill-of-all-trades with a to-do list that's a mile long. Let's dive in (inhale deeply). She's a celestial advisor to the gods, hydration enthusiast, helper of dietary needs, expert at breathing through her nose, educator of young minds, yoga guru, lifter of heavy things, former "GOTR" mentor, mother to a trio of humans and a menagerie of furry kids, including the charming Winston... and she even finds time to jog, schedule allowing. Revel in this concise yet enlightening conversation, courtesy of an iPhone that's too full for its own good.

Joni's story is a remarkable one. It goes something like this: She believed she could...but she was really tired and kinda lazy and would rather stay home with her dog while drinking wine so she didn't.

Like LL Cool J once said, don't call it a comeback. It's just Steph doing what she does best; chewing gum and kicking butt... and she's fresh out of Hubba Bubba.
