On today’s episode, we’re kicking things off with a holiday catch-up and, of course, the annual Turkey Trot. We’re also celebrating some big milestones: Natalie officially hit the big 3-0, and… well, Hannah went ahead and got married! And for a super fun main topic inspired by runDisney — but with a twist. If we couldn’t run at Disney, where in the world would we lace up for a race instead? Think theme parks, thrill rides, wild road trips, and a little bit of unhinged brainstorming, thanks Mr. Natalie.

On today’s episode, we’re putting our runner instincts to the test with a little game we’re calling Riskin' It for the Biscuit! Every runner has faced those pre-race temptations — from wearing something brand new on race day, to skipping your warm-up because the corrals are packed, or eating that questionable spicy dinner the night before. We’ll be deciding which running gambles are worth the risk… and which ones could totally crumble under race-day pressure. Let’s see just how bold we’re feeling today.

Welcome to the Stride Sisters Podcast! On today’s episode, we hop into our rocketship and head to Area 51 to talk about the half marathon that Hannah ran this past weekend, where the costumes were plentiful, the weather had a mind of its own, and survival became the name of the game. From 90-degree heat to a monsoon that turned the course into a slip-n-slide, Hannah’s race was anything but ordinary. We’ll talk about the highs, the lows, the new friends made on the course, and of course, the post-race recovery fueled by McDonald’s fries and Coke.
