In this engaging episode, Allison finally welcomes Brittany Pastor to the podcast after nearly a year of attempts.

They reminisce about their fun time at Louisiana Half Marathon, highlight Brittany’s inspiring journey into running as a way to cope with Crohn’s disease, and talk about the importance of community in the running world.

Brittany introduces Helen—the ever-so-sassy and supportive ice chest—who's become an unofficial mascot for her run club.

The conversation is filled with humor, heartfelt stories about running and camaraderie, and a mutual love for Fresh Junkie Racing and Wednesday Run Club.

Brittany shares her approach to running, emphasizing the importance of going slow, having fun, and building genuine connections.
