   220: Ally from CUSS Running

   Two truths and a lie: T - I never take for granted the time my guests carve out of their lives to come talk to me on the podcast T - I will never succeed in a successful career as a video editor. L - I am always comfortable going to a new run/walk club for the first time. What en episode!  From the first word to the last, @cussrunning and I have a very candid conversation about so many things.  They have a goal to run with every run club in Cook County and I am in to hear about that!  We talked a bunch about inclusivity when it comes to running and I was thrilled to boast about both @skokieswifters and @fasttrack.racingteam! We both agree runners are one of a kind and that Joel at @usolerunning is the best! Too many name drops to mention; you'll just have to listen for yourself.

   Ep. 219 Reuniting with Justin

   And we are back with Ep, 219 starting with Justin and ending with Marty.  Truth be told; I'm happy just sitting back and listening to them talk (and it gets me off camera as well)! Topics? Berlin, Chicago, Heavy Weights, Blaming Electrolytes, Evidence Based Research, and how we almost lost Marty forever at Naperville Running Co. Available wherever you pod.  If you enjoy this or any other episode, tell a friend!  Thank you all fo your support and be sure to keep Chafing the Dream!
