Is it my imagination or is Chris giving us more Sassy at the end?
Yep, totally Kara—I don’t care about the sob story, rules are rules!!! Also, tragedy happens…that is not a free ticket to cheating. As always, great episode and thank you for the therapy session—I lose my teeth and cannot open my locker either.
Interesting, thoughtful, thought provoking, controversial (at times), and funny. Love these two. Love this podcast.
Two of my favorite runners became friends and started hosting a podcast- what could be better??
I just love listening to Des and Kara. They tell like it is, don’t pull any punches, are fair in their commentary, but make it all fun.
