Ia melihat surga seperti sebuah kota yang sangat indah, seperti pengantin wanita yang sedang bersolek menanti pengantin pria. Wah, bayangkan ya… Seorang pengantin wanita biasanya sangat cantik. Bajunya indah, wajahnya bersinar, dan semua orang tersenyum melihatnya. Nah, surga yang dijanjikan Tuhan juga seperti itu—sangat indah dan penuh sukacita. Surga bukan hanya tempat yang indah, tapi juga tempat yangpenuh dengan kasih Allah. Di sana, nggak ada lagi air mata, nggak ada lagi kesedihan, nggak ada rasa takut. Yang ada hanyalah sukacita bersama Tuhan untuk selamanya. Dan kamu tahu nggak? Surga itu bukan cuma mimpi. Itu adalah janji Tuhan buat setiap anak yang percaya kepada-Nya. Rumah yang dijanjikan Tuhan ini bukan dibangun dengan batu dan semen, tapi dengan kasih dan anugerahTuhan sendiri. Mari Kita Bertumbuh di Dalam Anugerah Tuhan Coba bayangkan kamu sedang menghadiri sebuah pernikahan. Apa yang kamu lihat? Pakaian pengantin yang indah? Dekorasi yang cantik? Janji setia antara pengantin pria dan wanita? Nah, Tuhan juga memberikan janji yang serupa untuk kita,anak-anak-Nya. Janji bahwa Ia akan selalu mengasihi kita, menjaga kita, dan satu hari nanti akan membawa kita pulang ke rumah yang indah bersama-Nya. Mari kita berdoaTUHAN,aku mengucap syukur atas janji-Mu akan langit dan bumi yang baru. Tolong aku untuk selalu berharap dan percaya kepada-Mu. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin. Wonder Kids, NANTIKAN LANGIT BARU DAN BUMI BARU YANG DIJANJIKAN TUHAN, SEBARKAN KASIH SERTA KEBAIKAN KEPADA ORANG-ORANG DI SEKITARMU. Tuhan Yesus memberkati

Support us on Patreon!Thanks to Skratch Labs for sponsoring the podcast! Get a free sample pack on us!This week on Your Diet Sucks, we're digging into one of the most misunderstood—and over-marketed—topics in endurance sports: nutrition for female athletes.You've probably heard the myths: women should eat for their body type, avoid carbs during their cycle, or that we're not just small men when it comes to fueling. But most of that advice isn't based on solid science; it's based on outdated research, rigid stereotypes, and a whole lot of pseudoscience.In this episode, Kylee and Zoë unpack:​Why most sports science has ignored female athletes for decades​How hormonal fluctuations, birth control, and life stage transitions affect fueling​What's actually different about female endurance physiology​The truth about somatotypes (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) and why they're BS​Evidence-backed nutrition strategies for training, recovery, and long-term health​Why research gaps are still being filled by grifters, and how to stay skepticalWhether you're menstruating, on birth control, pregnant, postpartum, or in perimenopause—or you coach or care about someone who is—this episode is your myth-busting guide to what women really need to fuel their performance.Thanks to Janji for supporting the podcast!

The pair also reflect on the underrepresentation of women in ultra-distance events like Snowdonia and the broader implications of participation barriers in these challenging races.Rachel then recounts her rim-to-rim crossing of the Grand Canyon, completed just days prior to recording, as part of a supported project with Osprey and Precision Fuel & Hydration. She offers a raw and thoughtful look at preparing for a major effort while pregnant, including fueling changes, unexpected physical challenges, and the importance of adaptability and community support. The two also reflect on their evolving pregnancies, comparing their experiences, training adaptations, and what it means to find joy in movement during such a transformational time.The episode wraps with a meaningful discussion around postpartum expectations, race deferral policies, and the nuanced realities of running through pregnancy and fertility journeys. They spotlight Stephanie Case's inspiring victory at the 100K at Snowdonia—six months postpartum and breastfeeding mid-race—as well as broader issues around representation, sponsorship policies, and UTMB ranking implications for pregnant athletes.With honesty, humor, and heart, Leah and Rachel celebrate the many ways women show up in the trail world—on the start line, crewing, parenting, recovering, and dreaming big.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

Then we take a brief detour into the Camille Herron Wikipedia saga and my lingering sadness that she never came on the show.But the real highlight is a deep conversation with Aaron Fleisher, a fellow five-time Cocodona 250 finisher. We talk about his journey from stage racing and thru-hiking into the world of 200s, and how he found success (and beer) on trail. We get into hallucination stories, racing strategies, sleep theories, and the evolution of Cocodona over the past five years. Plus, Aaron breaks down his experience at Tour de Géants and what it's like to compete in a race that makes U.S. ultras look like casual jogs.We wrap up with some trail name lore (“Food Boobs,” and "Loophole") and ponder how Cocodona became the most community-embraced ultra in the U.S. Oh, and yes—there might be a bumper sticker involved that says "Cocodona sucks, tell your friends."Follow Aaron online: https://www.instagram.com/mittenmadness/Follow and shop at out sponsors: Janji.com, Garagegrowngear.com, and Csinstant.coffeeChapters00:00 – Trail TMZ: Goodge, Cockrell & the Controversy03:30 – Camille Herron, Wikipedia & Podcast Rejections06:00 – Introducing Aaron Fleisher & Cocodona Beginnings10:00 – Beer, Sandals & Surviving the Inaugural Year14:00 – Sleep, Strategy & Hallucinations at 200 Milers19:00 – Through-Hiking Mentality in Ultras23:00 – Tour des Géants: Europe's Wildest Ultra28:00 – Cultural Clash & Why Tour Felt Life-Changing32:00 – Cocodona's Future & Becoming a Community Race36:00 – Trail Names, Reflections & Last Person StandingSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutsideKeywordsCocodona 250, ultrarunning, trail running, 200 mile race, Jeff Garmire, Aaron Fleisher, Free Outside Podcast, thru hiking, Tour des Geants, Tour de Glaciers, ultramarathon, trail TMZ, William Gooch, running across Australia, watchmuling, heart rate zone, hallucinations ultrarunning, beer mile, food boobs, trail names, Aravaipa Running, Cocodona recap, trail race strategy, sleep in ultras, ultra running controversy, elite trail running, long distance running, through hiker mindset, adventure racing, Grand to Grand, 200 milers, ultra endurance, running gossip

In this episode of the Trail Network Podcast, host Rachel Drake sits down with professional trail runner, ICU nurse, and new mom of twins, Taylor Nowlin. Known for her top-10 finishes at Western States, CCC, and OCC, Taylor opens up about the highs and lows of pregnancy, motherhood, and her remarkable return to racing just eight months postpartum.Taylor shares the surprise of learning she was having twins while her husband was off-grid on a climbing trip, the complications that led to a high-risk pregnancy and early bed rest, and the physical and emotional challenges of recovering from a C-section. She also reflects on how her sponsors supported her through this season of change, and how strength training, a shift in mindset, and support from her community helped guide her back to competitive racing.Now training with coach Paul Lind and focusing on shorter, faster trail events like the Broken Arrow 23K, Taylor is embracing a new chapter of motherhood and racing—balancing lower mileage with higher intention. She and Rachel also share plenty of laughs about postpartum life, family travel chaos, and the role of their dogs as unofficial cleanup crew during baby mealtimes.Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or somewhere in between, this episode is an honest and inspiring look at resilience, identity, and the joy of returning to sport after life-changing transitions.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

This week, I scrapped the pre-recorded episode I had ready to go and decided to hit record and talk live—from the post-Cocodona haze. After five finishes at Cocodona 250, I figured it was time to finally answer the question: Should you sign up for Cocodona? I break down what it really takes to toe that start line, what happens in the mid-pack where most of us live for days on end, and why finishing should always mean more than your pace chart or Instagram recap.This year, things went sideways. COVID showed up early (for me and, unfortunately, my whole crew), and I had to go deep into my why just to keep moving. I talk about that, how my mindset has shifted, the myth of “self-supported” Cocodona, and how this race is more about soul-searching than splits.There's also some advice on how to register, a behind-the-scenes look at Golden Hour, a possibly meth-themed aid station (yep), and what keeps me coming back year after year. I also rant (gently) about influencer culture, read some of your reviews, and shout out my amazing crew, my favorite Janji gear, and the community that makes this wild desert dream possible.If you're on the fence about Cocodona, this is the episode for you.
