Episode 332 - The Two Fit Crazies and Loyalty The Two Fit Crazies and Loyalty There are 3 types of people that come into your life. There are those who are like the leaves on trees that show up for a season, but when the weather (or things) gets tough, they fall off and disappear. Then, there are the types of people that are like branches. These people can be strong and stay around for longer than the “leaves,” but they may not last forever; They may not be able to hold you up if you need support, and they may even break. However, the third type of person is the “root.” This person may not always be visible to others or out in the spotlight, but they are always there. They support you, hold you up, and help to keep you from falling no matter what you may encounter. The roots are YOUR people! So why are you telling me this story? Today's episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast take a deep dive into the power of being a “root” in life, as well as the importance of surrounding yourself with strong “roots.” In addition, Christine and Brian cannot wait to tell you about all their latest travels, racing, and chaos! Who is breaking records? Who stole Christine's medal from the C & O Canal 100-mile race? Where are these two fit crazies headed next! Listen up for more! Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!
