    Ally does an amazing job interviewing “normal” everyday runners who have inspiring stories that you would otherwise have no idea about them! Love hearing about local runners stories as well because the Indy running community is strong!

  • It’s never to late…

    I love hearing people’s stories! This last episode especially! Our host just keeps getting better at drawing the story out of the “runner” which in turn draws me in more and more! I’d write more but this grey haired lady is feeing inspired now so headed out to run! Thanks for the inspiration!
