   Ep. 139 - Arrested At The Airport, Toxic Exes & Unlined Running Shorts

   Would you pee yourself during a race just to preserve a PR? In one of our wildest episodes yet, we tackle crazy runner confessions, share a story about a runner getting arrested at the airport, and review the Nike Pegasus Plus 2!

We kick things off by highlighting Down Syndrome Awareness Month before diving into our Chicago Marathon weekend recap. We talk about the amazing energy of interacting with the PR Project community IRL, Nike’s Chicago Marathon activations, and the surprisingly warm weather on race day. We also celebrate the Detroit Free Press Marathon festivities, including Aaron’s event for running every single street in Pontiac, and Tommie hosting the official Freep Marathon live stream. Plus, Tommie officially announces his next race is CIM! Then, things go completely off the rails. In Run Culture Court, we debate wearing carbon-plated shoes casually, races with no finisher medals, and the controversial choice of running in shorts with no liner. Tommie shares a crazy story about a runner getting arrested at the airport, and we debut "Run Confessionals" to answer the real questions: Is it okay to pee yourself to save a PR, and is it toxic to root for your ex to miss their running goals?
