Welcome back to Running on Pixie Dust—this is Episode 31 and I’m calling it the start of Season 3 because (like the last two years) I’m aligning a “new season” of the podcast with Dopey training. I’ll be real: last season was a little chaotic with life, routine changes, and injury, so this time I’m aiming for a more sustainable vibe—posting when I actually have something to say. I also share my quick highs and lows, including getting quality time with friends and trying to get my debt-free journey back on track while I figure out a new routine with work and personal life. The main part of this episode is basically a cozy sleepover-style intro to my running friends—my little Orlando RunDisney support system. We talk about how we all found each other through Instagram, group chats, and consistently “showing up,” and why running friendships hit different when you’re spending hours together with zero distractions (and yes, lots of TMI runner talk). We also share our individual running backgrounds—from starting to run to lose weight, to getting hooked on RunDisney, to shifting into bigger goals like local races, time goals, and even dreaming about majors. And because I’m me, I also remind you: I’m not a coach—this is for fun, for the mems, and for tracking the journey.
