Hi friends! I hope your Friday is off to a good start. I debated putting an episode out this week just due to the upsetting and horrific events that occurred at our nations Capitol on Wednesday. It feels a little weird to put out something so casual. I did ultimately decide to go ahead with an episode in hopes that you all might enjoy something light hearted on this Friday. I’ll just quote my tweet here from Thursday – “What happened yesterday was sad, pathetic and unacceptable. American democracy stands for the peaceful transition of power.” So for the podcast today –  my guest Lauren and I recorded this on Tuesday  before all of that went down. Otherwise I’m sure we would have discussed it to some extent in the episode. Lauren Floris, co-host of the Up and Running Podcast joins me today! If you don’t know Lauren- She first appeared on this show in 2017 for episode 95 right after she first qualified for the Olympic Trials.  Lauren lives in Southern California with her husband Henri and their two daughters. She runs her own business – Up and Running Coaching AND the Up and Running Podcast while also running really fast. She ran in the Olympic Trials in 2020 and has recently even run a 5K PR on the track! Each month Lauren and have a casual catch up over on my patreon page for supporters over there and today I wanted to give you a sample (a big sample- this episode is a long one!) of what that looks like each month. In this episode we talk very casually about life, goals, family stuff and a little bit of running. We also talk about the enneagram,  dreams for our businesses and I’m honest about the struggles about running  my podcasts and network through the pandemic. We also recap some of our favorite episode of the year from both I’ll Have Another and Up and Running.

This was a huge break through race for Andrea as hit the Olympic Standard for the first time (Olympic Standard is 2:29:30) AND she became the third fastest marathoner from Mexico of all time.

She ran her first marathon in Houston 2020 in a time of 2:32, missing the Olympic Standard.

Rory Linkletter joined the Hoka One One NAZ Elite team in 2019 and will be running his second marathon this weekend at The Marathon Project! He ran his first marathon very quickly after turning Pro in 2:16 and since then has ripped a 61:44 half in Houston and has a full year of training with NAZ Elite under his belt. It is exciting to see what that will produce this weekend. Originally from Canada, Rory moved to the United States at 6, was a stand out runner in HS and went on to run at BYU. He was a three-time NCAA first team All American in track and field and a three-time NCAA All American in cross country. He helped lead the BYU Cougars to podium finishes at the 2017 and 2018 NCAA Cross Country Championships. Rory ran his first post-collegiate race in the summer of 2019 at the Canadian 10,000 meter Championships where he finished third. He was then named to the Canadian team for the 2019 Pan American Games where he finished 6th. In the fall he made his marathon debut in 2:16:42 at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. He then kicked off 2020 by setting a team record of 1:01:44 at the Aramco Houston Half Marathon–his first ever half marathon. He was second in July at the St. George Showdown 5,000 and 9th in October at the Michigan Pro Half Marathon.
