Podcasts about Gasparilla

The news hit like a thunderclap: Jeff Galloway, the voice behind run-walk-run and a steady light at so many runDisney start lines, has passed away. We pause to honor the coach who made marathons feel possible, share early thoughts through the shock, and invite everyone at Princess Weekend to carry his legacy in the miles ahead.From there, we shift into a packed, upbeat show that keeps community at the center. We break down the new Marathon Weekend artwork and what Donald's 30th half marathon anniversary might mean for medal design and race-day energy. Then we revisit Springtime Surprise medals—initially “simple,” until we spot the glitter and fluid movement that will pop in person. On the expo front, we debate the Brooks Princess releases: Rapunzel braids on laces, bold character palettes, why specific IP sells better than weekend branding, and where a Merida colorway could still shine. It's practical talk for anyone timing their expo line or eyeing limited drops.Our spotlight guest, Kristen of Running in Makeup, returns with real-world wisdom. After an injury and a purposeful pause from filming, she details how stepping back sharpened training, improved form, and delivered a 30-minute marathon PR. We trade chaotic race-morning tales (forgotten insoles!), celebrate inventive costumes (a Joffrey's coffee cup for the win), and lean into her post-long-run Dr Pepper ritual rooted in Baylor and Waco lore. The heart of it: how runners balance creativity, goals, and recovery without losing joy.We close with a sweeping Princess roll call and a coast-to-coast race report: Vegas lights and PRs, a gritty urban ultra in Ocala navigating painted horse statues, and the beloved Gasparilla challenges with donuts, sprinklers, and rainy-day grit. Whether you're chasing a first 5K or stacking a multi-race weekend, you'll find tips, laughs, and a reminder of why we show up for one another—especially now.If this moved you, subscribe, share with a running friend, and leave a review.

It's our February catch-up episode, which means we're covering a little bit of everything — real life updates, mom chaos, and the random obsessions that are getting us through winter.Whitney kicks things off with a recap of the wild Nashville ice storm that left them without power for days. Freezing temps, no electricity, kids stuck inside, and parents doing the absolute most to keep everyone fed, warm, and entertained. The cabin fever was real, routines were gone, and survival mode was fully activated.Candace recaps Gasparilla season — the chaos, the fun, the exhaustion, and the classic post-event realization that “this was amazing” and “I need three business days to recover” can both be true.Then we get into our latest fixation: Heated Rivalry. We're recapping it, talking about why we're so obsessed, and yes… the obsession spiraled far enough that Candace signed Alice up for hockey. (Influenced by TV? Maybe. Regrets? TBD.)Candace also shares what's been weighing on her with applying to private schools — the process, the pressure, and the deeper layer underneath it all: re-evaluating why they want to go that route in the first place, and what actually feels aligned for their family versus what just sounds like the “right” move.If you're feeling maxed out, stuck in winter chaos, and using a TV obsession as a personality trait right now… welcome. You're in good company.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:

Hey friend — tune in for a chaotic, hilarious roundup: Gasparilla's pirate parade (yes, the slutty pirates and cannons are real), MCU's new Wonder Man drop, Kanye's controversial reappearance, and a weird Groundhog's Day chat. I'll be out on the bridge reporting live — probably with questionable smartphone skills. Kick back, laugh with me, and enjoy some nostalgic movie shoutouts (Mr. Mean!), hot takes, and the usual Liquid Late Nights vibe — messy, funny, and totally unfiltered. Peace.

Fitz Koehler amps up listeners as the race announcer for two of Florida's most iconic events — the Donna National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer (Jan 31–Feb 1) and the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic (late February). From meaningful miles to full-throttle marathons, these weekends deliver serious heart… and at Gasparilla, a full-blown pirate party to match. Fitz shares why these races hit different, who belongs at the starting line, and how showing up — any distance, any way — can light a fire. Fair warning: motivation ahead.
